[on:]

I don't know about you guys but I love british comedy. My favorites are BlackAdder and Red Dwarf, whats yours?

[Reply #1 on:]

Same as ^ but including Fawlty Towers! How can you forget/not like that!

[Reply #2 on:]

We had a poll about this a while back.

Anyway, welcome to PEEL BlackAdder 

[Reply #3 on:]

God, how could i forget Father Ted!

[Reply #4 on:]

Oh yes, I forgot I also love... I just love all of them, arrrrhhhh   

[Reply #5 on:]

Thanks for the welcome.

Fawlty Towers is the best in my opinion, pitty they only made 2 seasons but even though only 2 were made, they were gold.

[Reply #7 on:]

I found the German wone the best out of the 13 ever made (Too bad it was only 13, but they are all good!). His walk was hilarious!

[Reply #8 on:]

The german episode was great, the funny thing about Fawlty Towers is that they made 6 or so episodes in 1974 (I think) and in 1979 they made the rest.

What is your favorite British movie? I think mine would be 'Nuns on the Run' a very funny Eric Idle and Robbie Coaltraine (I think thats how you spell it) movie. It's full of every  thing good... men dressing as nuns, nude women, chinese modsters... and of course NUN's

[Reply #9 on:]

It also has british commedy   

[Reply #10 on:]

Favourite british movie? "Monty Python & The Holy Grail", no competition. Best british humor, hmm that's a bit thougher. But Monty Python, Fawlty towers and Yes Minister/Prime Minister are all some of my favourites.

Welcome to PEEL, BlackAdder. Enjoy it here.  Great name by the way, way better than Black Vegetable. 

[Reply #11 on:]

A lot of British comedy is horribly painful, and not in a good way.

[Reply #12 on:]

BlackAdder:"From now on I'll be known as... The Black Vegetable"
Baldrick: "Wouldn't BlackAdder sound better my lord?"
BlackAdder:"From now on I'll be known as... The BlackAdder"

I really enjoy Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister. Also I like French and Saunders and French and Saunders: Absolutley Fabulous. The Victor of Dibbley was just a riot.

[Reply #13 on:]

The Goodies. Nice and surreal.

[Reply #14 on:]

Yep that all sounds good but there is alot of good contempory stuff to like Spaced, Big Train actually most of the stuff with Simon Pegg in is cool. Red Dwarf is a classic but sereis 8 suckes arse.

[Reply #15 on:]

My favorites are Monty Python, Red Dwarf, The Brittas Empire (more Craig Barrie!), and Chef!.

Because it was Irish 

It was funny though 

[Reply #18 on:]

Hey, i'm half Irish! There used to be loads of great British comedies but now they are all cancelled and there are no new decent ones!

[Reply #19 on:]

[Reply #20 on:]

Yeah, the second series is kinda crappy compared to the first.

[Reply #22 on:]

I have heard of it, never got into it though. The Kumars At No. 42 was hilarious, i loved the grandma.

Yeah! 

I quite like SPACED besides all those mentioned. It's a Sitcom and has got two main charcters from Big Train, and is bloody funny.

After they got rid of John K. He was such a deviant he was kicked out of art school for anti-social behavior, imagine that, art school is full of deviants. 

[Reply #30 on:]

Oh here's something I forgot for all you Chris Barrie fans (like me  ) he was in an episode of Black Adder The Third. Nob and Nobility. 

[Reply #31 on:]

hell what don't I like?
Spaced was a classic, Red Dwarf was another classic, Big Train, Trigger Happy TV, Banzai, Black books, Black Adder (all of them), Father Ted (definitely my favorite), smack the pony, Goodness Gracious Me

Monty Python & The Holy Grail was the best movie, in fact all the monty python movies are great

especially like the rabbit, ha ha ha ha    I'm laughing just thinking about it

[Reply #34 on:]

Life of Brian was also great!
Always look on the bright side of life!

[Reply #35 on:]

I have MPATHG in my DVD-CDROM right now. Its awesome! The only problem with the DVD is the lack of special features (there is next to none!).

[Reply #36 on:]

The killer bunny kills me, in a good way though.
I love the Mr Creosote scene from The Meaning of Life, that kills me even more.

"Another bucket for M'sieu... and perhaps a hose..."

Oh, go on, just a wafer thin mint.

[Reply #39 on:]

I just love the way he pronounces it.

"Waff-er Thin"
Can't really do it over the Internet though.
