Real dearth of quality comedies at the moment.

Every time I see an advertising clip of a new comedy everybody seems to be shouting or overacting.

We were only saying this this morning. A real lack of quality family TV aswell. 

 

I actually think alot of the art of family tyke sitcom comedy has been lost. As TV censorship has been cut, and TV gets more violet and sex more common on the screen the art of getting a joke past censors, innuendo etc has been lost. 

 

Today's comedy has just fallen fully into the American shouting, overacting on the nose type shit

Yes,it was very,very good. The oldness of it put's a lot of people off but the comedy was superb.

Any love for Hancock's Half Hour on here (both Radio and TV shows)? Or is it just me?

The Poetry Society is wonderful.

One of my fondest memories is listening to this with my Mum or grandparents when I was a kid-

 

 

Brilliant stuff.

[redheart]

Rising Damp or Porridge

[tokyojoe]

Fawlty Towers, Yes Minister.

[Preston Red]

 

 

 

 

 

 

I plumped for Bottom on that list as I'm a big fan of Rik and Ade but there's so many good British (and 1 Irish) comedies for me that I thought I'd stick a few favourite scenes up.

[KMD7]

Dad's Army, Bottom, Rising Damp and Fawlty Towers

[VladimirIlyich]

Only Fools and Horses and Porridge. Fawlty Towers was great but too few episodes to be 'the best' for me Clive.

Over-used word genius but Hancock was a genius.

 

Tiny taste of the great man

Another vote for “Brass” - Bradley Hardacre was a work of genius.

And The Brothers McGregor nailed the whole social club comedy thing waaay before Phoenix Nights…

[stringvest]

The Brothers McGregor was absolute dross.  Embarrassing. 

[Bjornebye]

Phoenix Nights has to be the most underrated of all time. Absolutely fucking superb.
