Manic Webb Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Does anybody else here like these british comedies? Red Dwarf The Black Adder Monty Python Come on, I know somebody in here at least likes Monty Python. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 [color=royalblue] Actually, I was gonna make a thread on this :p But Red Dwarf is alright. I used to watch Black Adder, and I wanna see Monty Python (yes, tons of people in here like Monty Python). My favorite would probably be Chef! though.

Guest Matt Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 [color=red][b]I love Monty Python. And Mr. Bean. O god, I love Mr. Bean!! The movie sucked, but the TV show was so frickin funny![/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 [color=royalblue] Mr.Bean!!! Haha! That was so hillarious. I wish it still came on, it used to be my all time favorite. Remember when he got the chicken stuck on his head? :laugh: haha, good times. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 [color=red][b]Remember the time he couldn't sleep and he tried to stop the cats from making noise by dressing up like a dog and barking out the window?? lol. good times.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 [color=royalblue] And the time he bought a new chair or something, and he didn't have enough rope to tie it down to his car, so he sat on the chair on top, and put a brick on the accelerator, then used what little rope he had to steer, and he went outta control. Heh, I love that guy. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 [color=red][b]Yep. Good 'ol classic Bean. Or when he went on vacation and wanted to take a picture of one of the British Guards(u know, the guys with the big black furry hats). So he decorated him with flowers and such then stuck Mr. Bear on his bayonet. And right as the picture was about to be taken, the guards shift ended and he moved. lol[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]When I go to my nanna's they are always watching some British comedy because my Nanna was born and raised in Scotland, so that's what she prefers. I like Monty Python and the Holy Grail and I think Mr. Bean is funny, too. There is another show that's I've watched that's hilarious where there's this woman named Mrs. Bucket and she doesn't want anyone to know her family is poor. I forget what it's called.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 [I]Hah, the one area that America will never be able to beat us at! I'm sorry, and no offense to the Americans, but you cannot make comedy like us. Such things as Bottom (Flashy will agree with me here), Black Adder, Faulty Towers, The Young Ones, Monty Python... all classics, unbeatable classics.[/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]The reason why British comedy is so funny is because it's unique and CRAZY and not the same stuff over and over. I believe that here in America they think the only way to make something funny is to have some sort of reference to sex or something of the sort, and you don't ALWAYS have to have that to be funny. Although Disney makes funny movies, and they are "supposedly" good clean fun. (Although I remember that thread not too long ago where they were talking about Dirty Disney secrets and stuff...) But yeah. Of course, I'd have to say Mr Bean and Monty Python are probably the most popular. At least everyone's heard of them, I think. I just love to be sitting there and pop out a quote from the movie and someone else respond and know exactly what I'm talking about. And then there are the clueless people that are like "What the heck are the talking about..." So yeah... But UGH, did you have to get all cocky about it? :rolleyes:[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted June 26, 2002 Author Share Posted June 26, 2002 Then it's agreed. Mr. Bean and Monty Python are the best comedy shows [i]ever![/i] Queen Asuka has a good point. American comedy seems to be the exact same stuff over and over. Meanwhile, British comedies are unpredictable and completely insane. Has anybody here seen the Black Adder movie where he goes back in time to all of the other Black Adder series? That has hilarious when he punched out Shakespeare and the Black Adder series with The Queen has always been my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 [color=royalblue] Ah, yes, Fawlty Towers, that's my other favorite :p I love how everything SO simple always goes wrong hehe. -Chibi [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 Fawlty Towers... I think I might've seen that one once or twice. What was it about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Chicken Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Anything with John Cleese is funny. But my favuorite would have to be anything by Monty Python, especially the Holy Grail and scene when the king gets crap fomr the peasants, hell yeah!

Kinetic Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Endymion [/i] [B]Fawlty Towers... I think I might've seen that one once or twice. What was it about? [/B][/QUOTE] [color=darkblue] I'm pretty sure John Cleese is the main character (thanks to Jesus Chicken for reminding me), but he runs a hotel, and everything SO simple always goes wrong, hehe. In one episode, there is this guest that pretends he's a hotel inspector, and Basil (the hotel manager) finds out, and throws a pie in his face in front of the real inspector, and then freaks out :laugh: I love it.

Yes, British comedy really is the king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Warrior Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 British comedy owns. Especially Mr.Bean. Hilarious. I thought the movie was good. There was this one show I remember watching. It was so funny. But I don't remember the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
