BBC Comedy

[Mottie]

I could not follow the accents, much of the time.

Subtitles.

Flea bag, Here we go, power of Parker and Black ops is pretty good as is Some Girls... but probably not for the type on here. You could try Back to life, which was very very good or Am I Being Unreasonable...

Love all the woke nonsense, have a quick look at W1A to see the beeb send itself up...

Not something the average Weegie is known for

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.

Unfunny, written and commissioned by a committee. Steptoe and son, faulty towers, fools and horses wouldn't stand a chance now. The beeb have had their budget cut to be fair so are cautious about risking new material.

Fleabag is typical **** comedy.

To be true it's not just the BBC but there is very little good Comedy these days

Love thy neighbour is on youtube if you need your fix.

Love thy neighbour is on youtube if you need your fix.

I have taken a look. The next door neighbour was a very beautiful sexy woman.

Even at the time it was corny and crossed the mark. But the joke was genuinely on the white fella.

Do you like Bernard Manning? His delivery is incredible.

He might have been funny in the 70's.

I say might have been, but I actually prefer humour

 

[gant]

Thought he was talking about his delivery.

Early doors for me and one you never hear much about Potter.

 

[Bod ...]

There is absolutely no hope for you if you cant find still game funny , give series 2 a try
The hogmany specials are belters

It was Rubbish overflowing

 

[Bod ...]

Have you tried another Scottish comedy - Two Doors Down?

I'll give them a knock but I don't think it will be any funnier.

Maybe you’re just a miserable coont?

I don't think I am. I just see comedy and think "that scene could have been so much better if they did it this way or that way.

 

[Bod ...]

He might have been funny in the 70's.

I say might have been, but I actually prefer humour

Regardless. He was funny.

As a kid I never liked anyone from that era:
Bob Monkhouse
Tommy Cooper
Mike Yarwood a few others.
Now I'll find so funny if I watch old clips

And there are still a few that I don't find funny.

 

[Ihavenojob]

I lasted about 10 minutes with that one.

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

Get watching Still Game on bbci player

Still Game is about the best thing BBC have done for God knows how long. I found Mammoth funny, a bit like the Grimleys. Problem is, unless you lived through the 70's you may not get it.

Was he ? I probably never watched him enough to find that. Or I didn't find him funny and didn't want to watch him more.

Humour and comedy is different for all, so if he floats your boat that's good.

He gave everyone shít. I know you didn't want to say it, but I find him funny now in that I never used to find him funny.
His racist jokes are funny because they are funny.
Where Jim Davidson isn't funny in the slightest.
