u75's Comedy of the Millennium FINAL

[Orang Utan]

How did My Name is Earl get there? It's way too recent to judge now. I only saw one episode and it was so-so.

And why the fuck isn't I'm Alan Partridge in the final. That is the funniest by a long chalk.


And Scrubs? SCRUBS? DO ME A FAVOUR!

 

[zoooo]

I don't like it.

::tries to hold in the swearing and violence::

 

[Swearing Nonna]

I wanted League of Gentlemen to be on the list actually Dave However. Phoenix Nights it is! um'd and ah'd between that and Mighty Boosh

 

[zenie]

Where the fuck is Shameless??

Well I find this all a bit limited

Phoenix Nights it has to be then but I'm really not happy about their being no Shameless.

Peter kay

I am warming to My Name is earl but I havent seen enough of it

 

[Onket]

Now Shameless really is fucking appalling.

 

[EastEnder]

Just in case anyone didn't hear me the first time:

• Phoenix Nights is warm donkey diarrhea.
• Peter Kay is not very funny.

 

[zoooo]

Isn't up north great! Do you remember those sweets from the 80s?! Weren't they great!

The League of Gentlemen isn't new enough to be on the poll, sadly.

 

[stavros]

The Thick Of It wins out of that lot, Armando Iannucci at his cynical, straight-faced best and Chris Langham and Peter Capaldi playing their parts with devilish aplomb.

"Come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off."

However Curb Your Enthusiasm beats all of those listed, but maybe it's understandable that people might not have seen it as terrestrial TV channels seem to have a vendetta against anything Larry David is involved in.

 

[zoooo]

"Come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off."

Ooh, my favourite line. Capaldi is a god.

 

[Pugwall7]

no partridge no curb pah

 

[Corax]

Close thing between Black Books, Scrubs, and Earl for me. Earl's too new though, so that's out imo. Can't decide out of those two, but Scrubs needed my vote more.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

"Come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off." .

Ah yes that was the line that got me hooked. I think this is the only TV show I have actualy tuned in to watch in the last couple of years. If I had sky I would make time for new battlestar galactica but I don't so 'in the thick of it' is it.

 

[zenie]

Now Shameless really is fucking appalling.

How dare you!!

You even told me that you've never sat down and watched it properly

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

How dare you!!

You even told me that you've never sat down and watched it properly

I have and it is shit.

 

[purves grundy]

Jam was shit but blue jam was great.
I don't think it works with the visuals. Not even my wrongs is as good as the origonal radio piece.

Bang fuckin right.

 

[zenie]

I have and it is shit.

Why??

 

[Onket]

I did actually sit through most of the first series because my ex girlfriend liked it.

It was, as ATOMIC SUPLEX says, shit.

 

[zenie]

Well I Like it

I did actually sit through most of the first series because my ex girlfriend liked it.

It was, as ATOMIC SUPLEX says, shit.

Different strokes.

I still want to know why it wasn't included in the poll?

In fact reading of the thread title

Comedy of the millenium??

Which fucking millennium?

 

[Orang Utan]

Why??

It's not strictly a comedy though.

 

[Orang Utan]

Reasons please.

 

[zenie]

It's not strictly a comedy though.

Agred

But it is fuckin funny

Comedy Drama??

 

[Onket]

It's not strictly a comedy though.

Aye, in that it's not funny.

 

[zenie]

Aye, in that it's not funny.

Anything else?

 

[Onket]

Anything else?

So I'm not allowed an opinion now?

 

[zenie]

So I'm not allowed an opinion now?

Of course you are

What's your explanation though?

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Reasons please.

Er? I didn't like it, it's boring?

I also hate it's channel 4ness, that sort of 'hey check out the poor and disfunctional you middle classes, they are like really funny and stuff'.

 

[Orang Utan]

But they are

 

[Belzub]

The Office is taking the lead

 

[EastEnder]

The Office is taking the lead

The Office had it's mildly amusing moments, unlike the "funny as cancer" Phoenix Nights, but there's no fucking way it's better than QI.

 

[Flashman]

And why the fuck isn't I'm Alan Partridge in the final. That is the funniest by a long chalk.

1997. I'd have voted for it it it was there though.

Bollocks I'm going for Malcolm... ain't seen Boosh, only saw a couple of Black Books (I know I know) Kay is funny but I've seen too much. Darth wotsit was good. Malcolm is still excellent even up to series 7 or whatever.
