BBC Comedy

[Bod ...]

I have a shiny cold so just watching TV

Can't do terrestrial day time programing. But watched a couple of BBC comedies.

Mammoth
Started really good . Great ideal for a comedy, typically BBC
"Look how cool and Un-PC we are"

Funny bits but gradually got worse.

The BBC only seem to have Middle class ****ts that write their comedy.

They can't get working class comedy right
from sitting round a dining table with other BBC ****ts.

I watched all the episodes of Mammoth. Then I
Went onto a new Series called Mandy.

Dreadful in every form

Over acting British stereotype everyday people.

Daytime TV rots your brain.

Don't worry about it though

Not recent I grant you but the Royale Family was pretty decent, no? Only Fools and Horses? Open All Hours?

More recently I quite liked People Just Do Nothing and This Country was also a good watch (in my opinion.)

I lasted about 10 minutes with that one.

Look up 'Still Game'. Stick with it and you’ll find it funny.

Mine too.

Old BBC comedy was very hard to beat.
I did like Ghosts . But that's maybe it.

Writing working class comedy can't be done right unless you have lived the life.

Is that the BBC

The problem is that the Left can't do humour. It's like how they can't do funny memes, which is why the EU laughably tried to ban memes. Because comedy, ultimately, has to be based on some basic truths and common sense. The Left's ridiculous ideology and need to be politically correct puts effective humour beyond their domain. Look at all the current mainstream "comedians" who would feature on terrestrial TV. Almost exclusively awful. Not funny at all.

BBC produced half decent stuff 20 years ago. It has progressively become extremely woke and is now unbearable. Same with their radio output.

If Ricky Gervais is involved, it will be special. Highly intelligent, sails close to the wind, resonates deep down with what people know to be true.

Depends on the audience though I suppose. I reckon Mark Drakeford adores the BBC.
