comedies you hate that everyone else likes

[ChrisFilter]

Catherine Tate Show - DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE. DIE. DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE.

At least Little Britain was slightly original.

I love the Catherine Tate show, far, far superior to the crap that is Little Britain.

 

[Orang Utan]

I don't know if he wrote the whole thing, but I'm sure he had a hand in it somewhere.

ETA

I seem to be completely wrong on this. I just did a quick search on the internet and it seems he had nothing to do with it.

MAybe you were thinking of 'Orrible?

 

[stereotypical]

Father Ted: its not funny
Spaced: its not funny
Any of the dodgy yank ones: especially Will and Grace and Friends

The words 'Monty' and 'Python' should not be seen together on this thread

 

[BadlyDrawnGirl]

'The Vicar Of Fucking Dibley'.

Father Ted: its not funny

I would have to vehemently diagree there. But that's what the thread's all about I suppose.

'My Hero' is in its own particular class of shite though.

I think My Hero might be be an obvious example of a comedy actor unable to leave behind the part which made him. To me and probably to most people he'll always be Dougal. Likewise I'm not sure Curb Your Enthusiasm would work as magnificantly as it does if Jason Alexander, who played the Larry-inspired George Constanza, was the star because people couldn't disassociated him from George. The only counter-example that springs to mind is John Cleese moving from Python to Fawlty.

MAybe you were thinking of 'Orrible?

No, I knew he was responsible for that pile of shit but I also thought he wrote Ideal.

 

[spacemonkey]

I was led to believe Spaced was the best thing since sliced bread. I wanted to laugh, I really did.

Oh, and Monty Python. Tripe!

Apart from Life of Brian and Holy Grail, do not get the monty python humour.
All that vomiting in Meaning of Life made me physically puke, which was found humerous by the few people around me at the time.

I've just made the following assumptions about you.

1. You're female
2. You're <25 yrs old.
3. You don't know the offside rule.
