Surely you can't be serious?

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

Ah Airplane.

Comedy Gold!

Have you ever noticed how many modern comedies have ripped off little tidbits from Airplane? Jesus H. Christ... STOP ALREADY!

Arrested Development, motherfuckers.

This, along with Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

Munch's Master 07-10-2009 03:20 AM

Ah yes, Airplane and the Naked Gun films. Possibly the best American comedy movies I've ever seen.

I almost forgot about that. Tomkinson's Schooldays had me in stitches, but my favorite was the Eric Oathwaite one. The bit where they're on about the Spear and Jackson shovel breaking was excellent.

YAY! Someone else who has actually seen Ripping Yarns! Those 2 are 2 of my favs too, but I'm also partial to Golden Gordon (possibly cause I can relate to it) and Murder at Moorstones Manor. Escape From Stalagluft 112B is good too.

I have them on the DVD set. It's a shame really that there's only 5 that are good. There were 10 in total I think- 5 good, 1 average, 4 crap.

Gato Fedorento > All that.

Yeah, I'm a crazy fan. As well as 80% of my country. =P They're a Portuguese group of comediants, and I must say, they're REALLY good. The older generations don't usually like them.

Problem is, it's 100% Portuguese, else I'd show you guys. =P

Wings of Fire 07-10-2009 06:45 AM

Subtitles?

I liked all of them apart from the Crossing the Andes by Frog one. That one was terrible.

MeechMunchie 07-10-2009 09:16 AM

I'm adding Peep Show, The Day Today, The IT Crowd, Flight of the Conchords and Father Ted. I am also going to specify 'quizcoms' to QI, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Have I Got News for You, Mock the Week, Shooting Stars and Would I Lie to You?, but not 8 Out of 10 Cats.

OddjobAbe 07-10-2009 09:17 AM

I really like Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

I really like Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

That's something I could never get into. I always preferred Have I Got News for You or Mock the Week.

Jonathan Ross is one of my favourites. I met him last night! Then I woke up =(

Anonyman! 07-10-2009 11:21 AM

I like black comedy, dry comedy, and surreal comedy.

I still have Monty Python's Flying Circus somewhere around here.

MeechMunchie 07-10-2009 12:22 PM


Classic. My hovercraft is full of eels! And I love:

Fucker you best be joking.

Wings of Fire 07-10-2009 02:19 PM

The middle guy is how I imagine Anonyman at his computer screen.

Anonyman! 07-10-2009 02:21 PM

Facial expression? Yeah.

Appearance? No.

Wings of Fire 07-10-2009 02:22 PM

Well you're half something.

/Racially insensitive.

Anonyman! 07-10-2009 02:28 PM

My maternal grandparents are both from Central America.

Wings of Fire 07-10-2009 02:37 PM

And so the mystery of Anonyman the Faceless begins to unravel.

Also apologies if I've offended you in any way.

Anonyman! 07-10-2009 03:03 PM

Nope, you insecure white person.

Omg, my paternal grandparents are form South America! Hurray for us Mullatos! I still look caucasian as ever.

Anonyman! 07-10-2009 07:06 PM

I know right? Nothing shows at all, and being raised in the Midwest I might as well just be a white guy albeit with ridiculously curly hair.


edit:

Apparently, three-fourths European and one-fourth Amerindian is a Castizo.

Anonyman! 07-15-2009 01:04 PM

I hate that. I can't fucking stand it.

It's a love or hate it kind of show. AND I FUCKING HATE

Well, you're wrong.

Anonyman! 07-15-2009 02:17 PM

I just can't enjoy it. I've tried. Well, maybe I can? I don't know. I don't know if I enjoy it or not. I don't even think I CAN form an opinion. Huh.

Facsimile 07-15-2009 08:19 PM

I can see how people hate it, but I love it.


Tim And Eric: Cops & Robbers - Watch more Funny Videos

Daxter King 07-15-2009 09:35 PM

I hate that Tim and Eric shit, but love Tom Goes To Mayor or what ever the fuck its called.

Mitchell and Webb are among my favorites. I especially liked Peep Show.

Blackadder's great, as is Only Fools, Fawlty Towers, Monty Python, anything with Vic Reeves, Armstrong and Miller, Flight of the Conchords, Rab C Nesbitt, Father Ted, Have I Got News For You, Live at the Apollo, and many other shows which I believe I may as well not name, as this list is shaping up to be pretty long.

And My Family is an unfunny piece of shit. At least one of the actors has stepped up from that and entered adverts instead. That's much better than acting for My Family.

EDIT: I also forgot QI and the recent Kingdom. Stephen Fry is always good for a laugh, as is Jack Dee who acted in an episode of Kingdom with Fry.

Basically this.

I like both, but TGTTM can really, really grate on your nerves if you're not in the right frame of mind.

I didn't much like TGTTM. I didn't hate it.

THEY'RE THE SAME SHOW

Anonyman is the only one making any sense here!

Also, why does it seem that everyone, except me, finds Squidbillies just annoying and unfunny?

Mac Sirloin 07-22-2009 01:06 AM

BEcause Squibillies is annoying and unfunny


...most of the time. I can admit to being moderately entertained by it, usually the narration.

Nemo 07-22-2009 02:17 AM

Adult Swim had this terrible run where they just took whatever shittily made show they could find to try to get "It's-So-Bad-It's-Funny" laughs.

OANST 07-22-2009 07:33 AM

Home Movies was the best television program ever made. Ever.

Anonyman! 07-22-2009 09:30 AM

Agreed. The first two seasons especially, back when it was still squiggly and shit and all the humor came from the improv.
