How **** funny is it?

Not very IMO

I can see what you mean Cynical-al- thats why I say its 'sublime' I guess.

I just laughed out loud- I've not done that for a while with comedy.

Great series. Can't think of a single bad episode.

just rewatched the whole lot with my kids (1st viewing for them)

They love it too - always a mark of a classic comedy IMO

ludicrous

the football ep is good

I imagine theres a fair few in-jokes for some STW'ers

Yep. There are a lot of very geeky references in the background props in the office. Stickers, books, bit of old hardware etc

The IT Crowd

The Inbetweeners

I have only ever managed to catch the odd episode here and there of either and I really must watch them properly as they are superbly funny.

Excellent show. The Countdown episode.... I was in tears of laughter first time I saw it.

Unfortunately it's spawned a generation of computer nerds who believe pretending to be Moss is somehow funny.

The one where the boss falls in love with a women who used to be a man had me in stitches.

Channel 4 produces some great comedy, Black Books being another favourite.

Oh, finally listened to me then?

it basically is a mirror for my working life about 3 years ago. working for a strange company ran by a complete idiot, sat in a grimy room with no windows (not quite the basement but near enough) right next to the server room, and a woman manager who had no idea about "computors".
and yes, i'm pretty socially inept.

It can be hit and miss, it veers a little to close to embarrassment comedy for my liking sometimes. You know, the Terry and June "whoops, my trousers have fallen down and the vicar's at the door!" sort of schtick. But yeah, on the whole it's very good.

Can I also recommend The Big Bang Theory?

Can I also recommend The Big Bang Theory?

Certainly not.

I thought the IT crowd was great but the christmas special was total junk imo.

Can I also recommend The Big Bang Theory?

Big Bang is ok - got the boxset but they can still have moments of genius.

Oh no not the flesh eating Morlocks!

Talking Spock/mint in box - darn two suns and I didn't bring my sunscreen

Sublime genius 😀

Great series. Think my favourite episode is the one where Jen has a new boyfirend who takes her to the Theatre to watch Gay, the musical.

Street Countdown was one of the best things ever in the history of the world.

Like a woman, I only listen when someone else tells me to watch/do something/recommends 😉

Yeah I'm a fan though I don't really find the internet box thing as funny as others seem to - mainly as even my Mum wouldn't think it was in a box....

Countdown ep is good but maybe the dinner party is my fave.

I vote against here (boooo) 🙁

i really wanted to like it, it even had chris morris in but it seemed to be written and set-designed by arty types who have never been near a real office, ever. It seems really broad brush and misses loads of material about the subtlties and absurdities of office life.

Except the internet in a box thing, that was good. 🙂

IT crowd is pretty decent, BBT has it's moments.

The only 2 series that are ALWAYS funny are The Inbetweeners and the cult classic that is Trailer Park Boys.

I'd go as far as saying that Trailer Park Boys is one of the funniest things ever made.

I love it.

I think my favourite is where Roy is asked to photograph a calendar of the girls from the seventh floor.

My favourite bit is the fist-bump between Roy and Moss as the conference room descends into chaos as someone smashes the Internet box.
Laughed outloud, loudly on a flight back from China at that. Then had fit of giggles.
That whole episode is brilliant.

This gets a hearty chuckle from me every time

Yep all big fans in our household

Amongst others mentioned, the bank robbery episode is another we all loved

Moss's 'Lonely Faces' video 😆

Wacko - Trailer Park Boys is indeed one of the funniest things ever made, it's perfect in every way.

It's Always Sunny in Philadephia is great too, especially when Danny DeVito turns up.

IT crowd is ok, but my God, Big Bang Theory is proper atrocious US comedy, for those who like Friends and need to be told when to laugh.

Watched the fire one the other night...at the end 'we got an email to come out' made me laugh.

The one where the boss falls in love with a women who used to be a man had me in stitches.

There's so much in that episode... Brilliant stuff.

Great show, always funny. Street Countdown my fave episode, with Negative One.

it's no 'Mrs. Brown's Boys'

Frickin love Jen

I'm seeing a girl who has the exact same voice. And hair. Looks a bit like her too.

Comes in very handy.

Comes in very handy.

Too much information, dude.

sing it with me....

No one mentioned Spaced yet?

Sheesh....

Bit less mainstream laughs but I've always liked Garth Marenghi's Dark Place

Graham lineham is a comedy genius. I still think Father Ted is his bells though.

I think I fancy Jen

Not into it. It's funny tho how, Richard Ayodae who is irritatingly terrible in this has blossomed into a talented film writer & director. Yet Chris Odowd who is quite funny in this has become an annoying ubiquitous sell out unfunny ****.

Richard Ayodae who is irritatingly terrible in this

Eh?? Moss is brilliant, a classic comedy character.

Love the 'I'm not a window cleaner' episode.
Big Bang theory is ok but lacks the occasional dark humour moments in farther ted/ it crowd etc.

I'm Peter File, I'm Peter File!

Spaced? The series?

Is there another one?

Spaced is ace, Simon Pegg's finest hour.

edited, bit of a spoiler

Must agree- a real gem. Love all the hidden geek references

Just googled- hang on its not that one. Its the series in out of space with Nick Frost. Whats it called?

That was Hyperdrive - bloody awful.

I liked that!!!

Silicon Valley is well worth watching don't think it's had an official UK release yet.

I'm Peter File, I'm Peter File!

No, I'm Peter File 🙂

One of my favourite scenes in the IT Crowd (if you hadn't guessed)

So I've just started series 2 disc.

I'm still laughin out loud over the scene from one episode- disabled toilet at Gay!

'I'm disabled' (said in wee voice). 😆 class.

The Goth.

On the last series now.

The Countdown episode- subtle and funny reference/nod. Same episode - Roy trying to tell an old friend hes not a window cleaner. Do you do Macs? No I specialize in windows.

Jen's died- When shes banging on his window saying 'stop saying you slept with me'

Can Peter File come to the desk, Peter File

Moss throws sandwich to Roy, then cup of coffee. Sooooooo simple and slapstick but just soo funny 😀

Jen- I can't figure out if I love her but she does an ace Thatchereque accent.

All sooooo basic stuff yet so bloody funny!

Doesn't do it for me. Worst thing Chris Morris has been involved in IMO.

Having had to spend every Thursday night in a call center for the last two years I have been revisiting old and new favourites . I loved the it crowd and big bang and green wing but discovered spaced and bluestone 42.

But the slow burn cringefest of genius was "Friday night dinners"

I have been loving "Better off Ted" for a geekier(ish) Sitcom. Only two series though 🙁

it is good but as said, there were a few stinker episodes but on the whole it was good.

one of the best hidden gems i saw recently that i missed was 'nighty night'.... i was still laughing going to bed.

i think certain people like certain comedy, i loved the recent vic and bob 'house of fools' the wife just wanted to smash the tv in.

This has me in stitches every time I see it

Reynholm is an inspiration. Damn that sorcerer! 20 gold pieces and I'm ****ered on rohypnol

SPACEOLOGY!

The Phoneshop.. Anyone?

My next boxset?

Have your tried 'Curb your enthusiasm' ?

If you're ok with 40somethings talking like South London teenagers, The Phoneshop is definitely worth checking out

I won't lie.... Wearing slacks made me a man.

a owl ..........................

Ok phoneshop it is

it's no 'Mrs. Brown's Boys'

That's the biggest pile of shite on TV!
