No. Didn't even break into a grin there. Sorry.
Ha!You’re dead inside Otis. It’s the only explanation
Ha!
It's the dressing up. As soon as I see that and the cheap laugh it is intended to bring, that immediately puts me off right from the start.
Straight away puts me on the wrong foot.
Whoa there....wait....My Family actually got a laugh, albeit a cheap one?!?!I know it's not the same level, but in My Family they just had Kris Marshall stick on a ridiculous outfit for a cheap laugh every week.
No, agree.Whoa there....wait....My Family actually got a laugh, albeit a cheap one?!?!
It's on a par for unfunniest program with Mrs Brown's Boys.
I wasn't having a go, just reaffirming what you wrote ol' bean.No, agree.
I am merely saying they went for the cheap laugh there every week. It was a dreadfully unfunny programme. Terrible and I hated Kris Marshall just walking in wearing a frog suit or silly hat and tutu.
Never ever laughed or smiled once.
And agree on Mrs. Brown's Boys.
For what it's worth, my sort of humour is the Marx Brothers, Hope and Crosby, Woody Allen, Monty Python, Not the Nine O'clock News, Porridge, Likely Lads, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, Morecambe and Wise, Men Behaving Badly, Eddie Izzard, James Acaster and so much more too of course.
For me it is about the dialogue and quality of the sketch or script and so much less about dressing up to look silly to obtain a laugh.
I find Bob Mortimer funny by himself because it is all just about him talking and saying very funny stuff and he's just himself and is not dressing up for a laugh. He doesn't need to do it because he is a very funny man anyway.
It's all about personal taste anyway and one man's meat is another's poison.
Harry Hill is quite surreal, but I have never found anything he has ever done remotely funny. Eddie Izzard is really surreal and I love nearly all the stuff he ever does.
'This one is wet, this one is wet...' One of the funniest sketches ever.
Comedy tends to age more than other forms, anyway.Used to love "Vic Reeves Big Night Out" but after watching a couple on Gold recently didn't find it as funny as I used too, sadly.
Yeah, with Vic, Bob and Matt Berry it promised so much but delivered utter bilge. Gave up after 2 episodes. Mind you Berry's "Toast" is excellent and some of the music interludes are rather good.(House of Fools should be drowned at sea, too!)
Toast is brilliant, although probably not for everyone.Yeah, with Vic, Bob and Matt Berry it promised so much but delivered utter bilge. Gave up after 2 episodes. Mind you Berry's "Toast" is excellent and some of the music interludes are rather good.
Ah, see, on the whole I really dislike catchphrases.Vic Reeves had a radio comedy (love radio comedy - a lot of tv shows start out on radio) can't remember what it was called but it was absolutely terrible.
I am a sucker for stupid catch phrases though. Don't know why but I always laughed at Vic and Bob's, "you wouldn't let it lie."
Also "moon on a stick' from 'Fist of Fun'.
Thanks Otis for ruining it, I'd recorded this.I love Morecambe and Wise, but grew a bit tired of the same wig joke every week.
Agree unfortunately, as it promised so much with the talent involved, including Morgana Robinson of The Morgana Show, which was funny for the most part.(House of Fools should be drowned at sea, too!)
I watched the last couple and I thought Paul Whitehouse was always trying to be funny whereas Bob Mortimer was naturally funny.Anyone watch the fishing show he did with Paul Whitehouse? I enjoyed it but found myself liking Whitehouse less than I did before.
He was deadly serious about the fishing and was a bit grumpy that Bob was taking a more lighthearted approach to it. As someone who doesn't see the attraction of fishing I enjoyed Bob's similar bemusement of it, much to Paul's chagrinIt was odd, I couldn't decide whether he was playing the grumpy role or he was just actually trying to make a show about fishing
