I have a new love, British comedy!

Share this page

I was introduced to British comedy from late night TV screenings of the classic Ealing Studio films like "The Lavender Hill Mob", "Kind Hearts and Coronets" and the "Carry-On" series, "Morgan: a suitable case for treatment" as well as the radio classics like Spike Milligan's "Goon Show", recordings of "Beyond the Fringe", films by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. TV also brought us "Monty Python's Flying Circus", "Dad's Army", "Are You Being Served" "Allo! Allo!", "Benny Hill"... you name it.

PBS and BBC America are favorite stations because of the comedy material.
 
"Benny Hill", "Wallace & Grommit", "Allo! Allo!", and "Last of the Summer Wine" are some of my favorites. The one I miss though is "Allo! All"
 
Monty Python is da Bomb. Faulty Towers is hillarious.

Heck, I enjoy almost ALL forms of humor. The only kind I don't like is "uncomfortable humor," like in Meet the Parents.
 
The first time my wife and I watched 'Are you being served' the old lady with the blue hair was talking about going home to "pet her pu$$#%" . It wasn't until half way through the show we realized she was talking about her cat. TO FUNNY!
 
The IT Crowd was quite funny - I think a second series is planned.
Thanks for posting that, great news- My friend brought over a disc to check out one episode and we burned through the entire run in one sitting, we just couldn't stop

Found out the new series is being filmed this week!

Check out 'Man to Man with Dean Learner' if you liked the IT Crowd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_SCV8XwkX8

What about US comedies as well?

I love My Name Is Earl, and Frasier and Friends of course :jester:

Heres an old school one for you. Anyone remember "Red Dwarf"? Or how about "Father Ted" or " Brittas Empire", these are currently running. The Brits are HILARIOUS:-)) . They are so much more willing to be self-effacing. They definately have a way better sense of humor about their culture than we as Americans do.....:crazy:
 
Has anybody seen The Office, LOL that show is awesome. Fawlty towers?
 
I'm not a big fan of Catherine Tate at all, sorry!

Have a look for Alan Partridge on You Tube :-))
 
Monty P! "Its thin at one end, much much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end." - Ann Elk ( a Brontosaurus... :-)) )

Some of my favorites:

Monty Python
Fawlty Towers
Father Ted
