I love it,but like most Telly comedy it doesnt actually make me laugh.
Do people really sit watching things killing themselves laughing?
Id be suprised if anyone said yes..

True. Even the best programmes only have one or two "laugh out loud" moments per episode for me. Doesn't mean the rest isn't funny though! |

Well I think it is brilliant.
Looking forward to seeing the new series, can anyone remind me what happened in Series 5?

Comedy is no longer about instant laughs, what makes a show great now is when you can steal a line from it and repeat it down the pub at the right time for hilarious effect. That might sound like a dig at modern comedy, it's not. It's brilliant. You could put out any old shit on nowadays and somebody somewhere will do enough internal giggling to tune in next week, but if you manage to write stuff which will give some boring cunt the opportunity to amuse his mates down the pub by repeating it - either through a shared experience laugh or by claiming it for himself, then you've achieved much more. This is where the "ahead of their time" comedies like Fawlty Towers and Blackadder get their popularity from. Who hasn't had a laugh running through the coffee joke (or something similar) from Blackeadder4 with some mates? |

The best comedy since The Office.
Personally I probably prefer Peep Show.

If "Practice makes perfect" and "nobody is perfect" why bother waste time practicing when there is beer to be drank.

Michael Mcintyre is starting to make me chuckle lately, hated him to begin with.
