Comedy

[Hanso]

I forgot Nighty Night. Anyone else watch this show ?

 

[Winmar]

I watched it a few times. That lead woman is evil!!

Bugger me, how could I forget I'm Alan Partridge?! I agree, it is possibly the funniest comedy series ever made.

I'm watching the first series of Arrested Development at the moment. Picked it up for about $20 at HMV a couple of years back but never got around to watching it. It's quite funny.

Shannow beat me to my joke except I was going to use two other people instead. I used to use the same joke as our young Shannow for a long time till people got sick of it.

Best comedy line I've seen in ages

"prices of some goods will go down"

fuck that's funny.

Thanks Dan.

The Goodies, Monthy Pythons Ripping Yarns. Believe Nothing , We can Be Heros, Kath & Kim, Chaser, The Late Show, The D-Generation are few of mine that havent been mentioned

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Am I the only person in Australia who can't fucking stand Kath & Kim?

Curb Your Enthusiasm is really good. I have the first four series on DVD but I've only watched the first two so far. It can be very stressful to watch sometimes - not nearly as stressful as Fawlty Towers though.

Best episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm (that I've seen) is Beloved Aunt.

Curb is awesome.
Beloved Aunt is a good episode, but really, Seasons 3 and 4 are on a whole new level. The first 2 seasons were good, but 3 and 4 are fucking hilarious. The final episode of Season 3 is soo funny. And likewise the whole Mel Brooks/Ben Stiller/David Schwimmer/Producers and Larry David plot of season 4

Season 5 I still liked, but probably the worst season.

I like Susie Green. "Where's the fucking doll you fat shit, and you four eyed fuck!"

TODD: Preach it brother.

I cannot stand Kath and Kim. Really, I absolutely hate that shit

 

[Sydo]

Cannot stand Kath and Kim - and only know of one person who enjoys them. (my sis)

 

[Bucko]

Am I the only person in Australia who can't fucking stand Kath & Kim?

I guess not

 

[Spiff]

I too hate Kath & Kim.

 

[mattt]

Is it still on?

 

[Winmar]

I've never seen it! I don't think I'd like it anyway.

Oh yeah, Ripping Yarns! I haven't seen that in maybe 15 years. Great show!

Who else watched The League of Gentlemen? Wrathy did, right? The first series was the best. They tried to too hard to shock after that.

 

[Spiff]

Kath & Kim will be on Seven soon, Matt. Not sure when. Can't say I care.

League of Gentlemen is awesome! First two series were great, third was just plain weird.

 

[Southy]

First series of Kath & Kim was good, since then the joke has stretched out way to long now

 

[phlogiston]

First series of Kath & Kim was good, since then the joke has stretched out way to long now

That's what I reckon, too.

 

[Winmar]

How about films - what are some funny ones? I find it harder to find funny films than tv shows.

 

[Spiff]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang w/ Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer. It is excellent.

 

[mattt]

Well obviously Anchorman. That movie is too funny.

Jackass 2 if it counts...

Cobra always makes me laugh as well. Hard.

Oh, and Tango & Cash.

Anchorman was meh in my opinion. Im still waiting for Will Ferrell to make a really good comedy. He was so good on Saturday Night Live but has not yet transfered it over to film.

It's hard to go past the classics like King Of Comedy with De Niro, Animal House, Caddyshack, Airplane!, Revenge Of The Nerds 1 and 2, Tommy Boy, Black Sheep (not that new Kiwi movie), Office Space, National Lampoon's Chevy Chase stuff, Sixteen Candles etc etc

Anchorman was meh in my opinion

First time I saw Anchorman, I couldn't stand it.

I watched it the other night again and realised I was starting to quote lines from the movie

"Go fuck yourself, San Diego"
