1. the league of gentlemen
2. twin peaks
3. blackadder
4. monty pythons flying circus

Magnum PI was the bomb. Ferrari's, black helicopters, and hawian shirts.

My sister used to do gymnastics and she did her floor routine to the theme from Magnum PI.

The Late Show rocked, I got Bargearse on vid... so many good calls in that flick.

Fawlty Towers is genious, not a fan of Monty Python tho... too obvious and slap stick.

English humer is best when its smart, not stupid obvious slapstick, I hate that shit.

Agreed! The reason? Because there is no greater spectacle than that of human failure.

If you want to be happy it is not enough to succeed, others must fail!

Northern Exposure was the best show, wish that would come back.

Mr Bean still makes me laugh, not to mention Young Ones and Bottom was a classic

Screw slapstick, I want my comedy sutble or genious. I cringe at slapstick now... dunno why, I used to love it(when I was a kid, Goodies etc), then I grew out of it.

Disagree. Why does everything in life have to be so complicated ALL THE TIME. I hate it when I realise there is humour I am not understanding because I don't have a Masters in Quantum Mechanics or intimate knowledge of the breeding habits of Lithuanian hunting Turkeys.

Sometimes simple pleasures are the best, you don't have to think too much and everyone can share it.

"Barneys film had heart, but football in the groin had a football in the groin".

great_magnet · Post by **great_magnet** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 1:59 pm

I like my humour both ways, as much as I appreciate really subtle, clever humour (eg a lot of british comedy), I still vastly enjoy a bit of slapstick.

Movies like Dodgeball make me laugh no matter how many times I watch it, there's absolutely nothing wrong with getting in touch with your inner child and laughing when a wrench hits a guy in the face or a morbidly obese cheerleader vaginally swallows an unsuspecting male cheer squad member's head...

soooo true! i love both really, but i just can't go passed a good fart joke or something falling out of tree or getting accidentally wacked in the face with a cricket bat

makes me laugh just thinking about it!

Could never really get into Curb Your Enthusiasm... Always seemed like a more deadpan version of Seinfeld, with only one main character to focus your hatred upon. I am well aware that the guy used to write for Seinfeld.

Oh one more... Eat Carpet for whenever I'm home saturday nites. And At the Movies with Margeret and David.

Subtle humour at its best, and the story lines are enjoyeable... liked it the first time i watched it... loved it the second time through... gets funnier and funnier.
