OK seeing as I am starting it
Last of the Summer Wine (never seen a bath go downhill so many times like the Prog)
Keeping up Apperances (I had Lady cousins named Rose Daisy and Violet and still didnot find that funny)
Open all Hours (Ronnie Barker was ok - Granville was OK)
Still Open all Hours (how is it on its 5th Canned music series already)
err thats it !
Yes a bit biased there as some will have spotted - BUT - there was nowt wrong with Rosie (from the same stable) or its predecessor "The growing Pains of PC Penrose) mentioned on here
Some bits filmed in Rosso and Moorends https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_(TV_series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosie_(TV_series))
-
Men Behaving Badly was rubbish.
-
I'll agree with all the Roy Clarke disasters. How he's got way with it for so long I'll never know.
My Family must be a contender too.
-
Still Open All Hours is my current worst, but my classic worst is On The Buses after Reg Varney left the programme.
-
Mrs Browns Boys.
Close the thread.
-
Another vote for Mrs Browns Boys - utter,utter shite

Bottle Boys
Last of the Summer Wine
As Time Goes By

Mrs Brown

Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.
My Family.

Another vote for Mrs Browns Boys - utter,utter shite
Ditto from me.

I suppose you can have betting without the favourite. I presume Miranda isn't supposed to be funny, because it certainly isn't.
-
Mighty boosh . Utter pile of steaming dogshit.
-
Agree, Miranda is rubbish ,as for the Mighty Boosh that is totally garbage. Noel Fielding is just not funny with his “wacky “ and “way out “ clothes he wears is just a gimmick.
He would be one of the first against the firing squad wall come the revolution along with
Richard Madeley
Jo Whiley
James Whale
Fiona Bruce
The woman who’s name escapes me who does the political interviews on the BBC
Graham Westley
David Warner
Steve Cotterill
Sorry for digressing from the original topic.
Rant over.
-
Seinfeld is utter gash.
Remember once watching an episode with our kid in an airport bar in the States. We managed to predict every tired punchline about 10 seconds before they said them.
Dull as f**k and manufactured dull at that.
British equivalent was The IT Crowd. Laboured, predictable shite.
-
Another vote for Mrs Browns Boys followed closely by The Office and the whole Are You Being Served stable
-
Yes - Are you being served - and Allo Allo both full of non existent innuendo and one liners that had to be in once every Prog
Leesen very carfuuly I will say this only once / Oh Rene / You stupid Woman AA
Are you free / Youve all done very well AYBS
& similarly - Dont panic / they dont like it up em / You stupid Boy DA (same format as well)
-
Come on DW.
Those three comedies were wonderful British farces. Comedies of manners, based on the British obsession with the class system and with foreign stereotypes.
Plus, any writer who could weave in jokes about Mollie Sugden's pussy every week deserves a knighthood.
-
Farces yes for sure -and the ones in my OP also fall into that bracket I suppose and I guess that just sums up my "kind" of humour. I like the more ironic word play stuff or satire mostly.
One mans meat I suppose !

Dads Army was and is an all time classic, I can’t believe it got a mention in this thread

Lot o' hate around these days. Best to pour it out among friends.

Terry and flaming June

Last of the Summer Wine;
The Liver Birds;
It ain’t ‘alf hot Mum;
Mrs Brown’s Boys;
Bread
-
It Aint half hot Mum (great call !) . Just never saw the appeal in that and unfortunately they always had it on Telly in Pub - and in those days I was always IN the Pub so could not avoid it !

Selwyn froggit, magic our Morris! Garbage.
-
Butterflies, what was that all about?
-

I used to live round the corner from Bill Maynard back in the 70's. Great bloke in person, and very funny too. Used to drink and play skittles in the local club.

I always imagined him as a top bloke, he seemed very natural on telly.
The problem was they tried to construct a sitcom around him which just didn’t work.
-
It already made this list but I do not know one person in Ireland that watches or likes Mrs Brown’s Boys, not one.
-

I quite liked Selwyn Froggit. The Gaffer though was utter crap!
-

Is it not one of the most watched programmes over there? God knows how but it’s clearly got quite an audience.

Did he spill much drink ? Imagine it must be difficult no to
-
Maybe Crawley v Rovers a few years ago?
I never laughed once but at least Rob Jones was honest post match.

It’s made by a Scottish production company, isn’t it?
-
Nobody else remember Come Back Mrs Noah?
And It Sticks Out Half A Mile (and all the other titles the same script has had every time they tried to remake it). How to piss on a legendary sitcom's legacy in one easy lesson.
-
It Sticks Out... was radio only, though, wasn't it?
-

Under that title and with the Dad's Army characters, yes. They had two goes on television using different titles and characters but using basically the same scripts, which were just as unfunny as they were in the first place.

It's filmed in BBC Glasgow studios. They were filming an episode while I was there a couple of years ago filming Eggheads.
-
Glasgow's full of Irish or people with Irish heritage.
-
thinking about it ' Terry and June ' was really nauseating.
-
Just remembered one called Mind Your Language, bloody awful.
-
There was one on Talking Pictures,channel 81 on freeview,tonight at 17:00 called Take a letter Mr Jones . It’s stars were John Inman and Rula Lenska, I watched about 5minutes of it ,total rubbish
-
Just remembered one called Mind Your Language, bloody awful.
Now THERE'S a topic for debate.
Was MYL an appalling example of 1970s casual racism?
Or, by introducing an insular British people to flawed but lovable foreign stereotypes, did it give us a push towards a more cosmopolitan future? Aided by Francoise Pascal hinting that they have far better sex on the other side of The Channel than we do.
-
It was a typical comedy about race, with sex thrown in by the presence of Francoise Pascal. Perhaps race and sex are innocent subjects until you put 'ism' on the end of them.

BB
Aye. I never saw the problem with Jim Davidson doing his Chalkie White routine.
I'm sure this wasn't offensive until some pinko t**t started complaining about it.

And this? Perfectly acceptable until some busibody put an ism at the end of race.

-
BST, I'm confused here. neither of those clips is about the 'Mind Your Language' comedy.
-
No. They are about what was acceptable before the namby-pambies stuck their self-righteous two-pennorth in and invented -isms.

Francioise Pascal is not from the other side of the channel 😜

Bugger me. You learn summat every day.

Exactly! So what was unacceptable about 'Mind your Language'?
-
I think you need to read my original post again.
-
Yep, just re-read it and it asks, "Was MYL an appalling example of 1970s casual racism"?
I said it was a comedy about a class full of foreigners including a sexy foreign bird.
Why did you reply with two completely different comedies?
-
Because you made a daft conjecture.
If you want it spelling out, no, race and sex are not innocent subjects until someone puts an ism after them.
They are innocent subjects until someone starts using them to belittle and divide people.
As for my original post, I can see I need to spell that out too.
If you watch MYL and come away with the feeling that foreigners adhere to those stereotypes, then by definition it is racist. If you watch it and laugh at our labelling of all Italians as lecherous, Germans as robotic, French women as lascivious and foreigners generally as thick, then it's not racist.
It's about intent and interpretation.
I went to see Bernard Manning in Blackpool 30 years ago. He was actually quite good. Made some insightful and barbed social commentary jokes. Which raised barely a titter. Then he told a joke about a Pakistani claiming dole, which was a technically weaker joke, but which had the place in hysterics.
Do you think that would be innocent if no-one put an ism at the end of it?
-
No owd lad,'Mind Your Language' was an innocent comedy about various races including a couple of sexy foreign birds in a classroom learning English. It is YOU who is using it in this instance to belittle and divide people.
It is yet another typical example of a Namby Pamby self-righteous lefty's attempt to ruin a perfectly innocent thread with his puritanical high horse b*llocks.
-
Did you read the second half of my original post? Or did you ignore that because it doesn't fit with what you like to think I think?
-
Yes, I did read it and that was b*llocks too.
-
Aaaannnddd...step out.
-
She was well worth one though lol

Barry Evans who was the teacher in MYL died on his settee with a very high blood alcohol level it was reported at the time he could have been murdered but no one was ever convicted. He had been working as a taxi driver

I liked Barry Evans in Doctor In The House.

Alcohol becomes a serious subject when you put 'ism' on the end of it.

Oh GOD I had blanked that out of my memory
I was in Lanzarote and it was shown on Telly at Bar Steds (if I have the right Game). There was a Manure Game on and 3 Tellies had that on while I had a Telly to myself.
I had my Shirt on (muppet) - and I was so ashamed that half way through the Game I covered up my shirt BUT we were not bad enough for me to even glance at the other 23 Tellies
