British Comedy Lagman Should Try

Hadrian · Jul 8, 2007

Even though I've moved on to someone else, I still hold a special place in my heart for Lagman so I did this little thread with video links to guide him through teh awesome British Comedy. Here are some very funny scenes for you and everyone else to have a great big bottom raising laugh to.

The Young Ones

Red Dwarf

Spaced

League of Gentlemen

Bottom

Blackadder

Black Books

The New Statesman

Father Ted (yeah yeah I know its Irish)

Not The Nine O'Clock News

The Fast Show

Garth Marenghis Darkplace

Feel free to add your own clips.

That they are, I've also missed so many others too.

The new comedies thatve been showing lately are absolutely brilliant too.

"My family" is the only one that springs to mind

british comedy is the best in the world without a doubt

legendofphil · Jul 8, 2007

It is good but British comedy has been in decline recently though.

shaunj66 · Jul 8, 2007

Let's see what I can think up!

Mr . Bean (of course)
The Fast Show (one of my ALL TIME favourites)
The Two Ronnies
The Vicar of Dibley
I Am Alan Partridge
Big Train
Brass Eye
Fawlty Towers
The Thin Blue Line
Only Fools and Horses
My Family (can be OK sometimes)
Black Books
2 point 4 Children
Keeping up Appearances

Oh, and I can't stand Little Britain so I "un-recommend" that! Load of bollocks.

Hadrian · Jul 8, 2007

Can't stand Mr Bean, Vicar of Dibley, Harry Enfield or Royale Family and Little Britain, though I liked it at first is overplayed now.

I have to say its a shame that Big Train & Brass is highly regarded nowadays. Use to always watch Fist of Fun & This Morning With Richard Not Judy a lot too.

Blue Jam the radio series was great too, came to the telly as just Jam and was the by Chris Morris.

Da Mafia · Jul 8, 2007

Suprised nobody has mentioned Porridge yet or Coupling even

legendofphil · Jul 8, 2007

Just finished watching Red Dwarf (seasons 1-8) and I want the continuation/conclusion, its been 8 years for smegs sake.

EDIT: 20th anniversary next february might be something special for that.

Hadrian · Jul 8, 2007

Well they were working on a film that actually was a restart of it, and now that seems to be lost in development hell. That was why we've not had series 9 for ages, there was talk of a new series after the film went and gone but nothing since has been said.

Would be great if it did happen and that Rob Grant rejoined for it (it wasn't really as good when he left).

Men Behaving Badly has it's moments, some bits of it are priceless

(and other bits are shit but we ignore those).
Never Mind the Buzzcocks is too, but it's a comedy-quiz so you probably wouldn't find it on DVD

Yeah Buzzcocks is golden, love the new series too. The best place for Buzzcocks is uknova, they're the best for UK stuff, recently just put first series on.
