The Simpsons series 2-8

is genuinely the best comedy ever.

Family Guy 1-3 = OK, after that = genuinely awful.

Little Britain = why?

So... but yeah you might well have no sense of humour if you don't laugh at any TV.

i dont find little britain funny

i find family guy quite funny and the simpsons - in general - funny.

does that help at all?

do you find some thing funny? if so, probably not without humour.

peep show?

league of gentlemen?
blackadder?
scrubs?
seinfeld?
frasier?
Father Ted?

one of these must make you laugh.

- I completely love scrubs
  
  almost as much as frasier.

      - the simpsons
        
        I don't think I like people that REALLY REALLY REALLY like The Simpsons. I had a flatmate that would do an annoying snort-exhalation-laugh attempt at all the jokes and it summed up how it wasn't properly funny.
        
        Peep Show on the other hand...
        
        Extras is lame.
        
        Little Britain/Catherine Tate Show - awful

        much as i liked the simpsons
        
        before it went rubbish, it very rarely made me LOL. I don't think it's that kind of comedy.

        yeah but it is funny, and it does have the odd moment
        
        and other moments where you just smile for ages.

        admittedly
        
        haven't watched it enough, but can't deny that it's very clever. I suppose I find it a bit smug sometimes.

        Let's put things in perspective
        
        Two pints of lager is awful.

        ^ ^ that really does
        
        put everything into perspective.
        
        That actually won a BBC 2 Talent competition. I can understand why - it's probably a refreshing change from usual studenty stuff. But then you look at stuff coming from Channel 4, which does 'stupid' as well as it does 'clever' - and wonder how desperate people at the BBC must be.

        It makes no sense. Her show is just full of half-baked characterisations, akin to those unfunny social stereotypes columns found in the broadsheet supplements at the weekend. Except hers are all uniformly offensive.

No problems there.

You seem to abley appreciate what is not funny.

Is there nothing that you laugh at or do you simpley watch those three shows on repeat?

the only tv programmes that ever make me properly laugh out loud

are panel-quiz type ones like have i got news for you and QI.
i enjoy quite a few sitcoms, and i do find them funny, but very rarely laugh-out-loud funny.

  little britain is awful. it's sort of amusing the first time you see it, but after that it's basically the same joke repeated lots of times.

I don't like the Might Boosh that much

and any Simspons episode that is after series 8. And Little Britain. I don't get that one at all.

i actually find seinfeld to be very overated.

i just don't see the greatness.

  are you serious about Nighty Night? It's very grim. Not really meant to be a conventional laugh-out-loud comedy with gags - the comedy comes from the characters

I never got little britain

But I adore the Simpsons (season 5,6,7 are the BEST) and Family was excellent and now it's just full of american jokes which I don't get.

mystery programme

maybe someone can help...

anyone remember a programme which involved a strange guy, with a tall top hat that I seem to recall had an exclamation mark printed on it?
