The WORST TV Comedy

[Donnywolf]

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)

[Bentley Bullet]

Men Behaving Badly was rubbish.

[tommy toes]

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.

[darren61]

Still Open All Hours is my current worst, but my classic worst is On The Buses after Reg Varney left the programme.

[mushRTID]

Mrs Browns Boys.

Close the thread.

[Crowle Rover]

Another vote for Mrs Browns Boys - utter,utter shite

[Herbert Anchovy]

Bottle Boys
Last of the Summer Wine
As Time Goes By
Bread
Also Allo
Mrs Brown

[phllvslc]

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

Another vote for Mrs Browns Boys - utter,utter shite

Ditto from me.

[The Red Baron]

Mrs Browns Boys.

Close the thread.

I suppose you can have betting without the favourite. I presume Miranda isn't supposed to be funny, because it certainly isn't.

[Boomstick]

Mighty boosh . Utter pile of steaming dogshit.

[Draytonian III]

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.

[BillyStubbsTears]

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.

[roversdude]

Another vote for Mrs Browns Boys followed closely by The Office and the whole Are You Being Served stable

[Donnywolf]

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)

[BillyStubbsTears]

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.

[Donnywolf]

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.

[Bentley Bullet]

Terry and flaming June

[Pancho Regan]

Last of the Summer Wine;
The Liver Birds;
It ain’t ‘alf hot Mum;
Mrs Brown’s Boys;
Bread

[Donnywolf]

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 !

[darren61]

Selwyn froggit, magic our Morris! Garbage.

[darren61]

Butterflies, what was that all about?

[Not Now Kato]

Selwyn froggit, magic our Morris! Garbage.

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.

[Donny Dub]

It already made this list but I do not know one person in Ireland that watches or likes Mrs Brown’s Boys, not one.

[Herbert Anchovy]

Selwyn froggit, magic our Morris! Garbage.

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

[NickDRFC]

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
