im watching keeping mum its the 3rd time ive seen it and it still makes me laugh :D :D :D
what is your fave comedy movie or tv series ? ? ?
-
too many favourites to name all, but can watch father ted over and over again. have to mention the obligatory Good Life. lets be honest it made a lot of teenage boys hanker for a veg plot with felicity kendall in scruffy gear and mud on her face.though I definitely have a Margo at home( puts on rubber gloves to help do her once a year egg collection).
-
I caught the first episode of "Yes, Minister" a couple of nights ago - brilliant comedy and hasn't aged (apart from the fashions).
Films - if you haven't seen "Kung Foo Panda", get it now. It's really funny.
-
Hiya Gem - Keeping Mum - We watched that too - brilliant. Love it at the end when they come to drain the pond - then they show you underwater - brilliant!
My favourite comedys are:-
Only Fools and Horses - (Classic)
The Good Life
Father Ted
To the Manor Born
Favourite Movies - Close Encounters - ET - Snatch - Briget Jones Diarys -
Notting Hill & Love Actually (Nice Escapism + Got a crush on Hugh Grant)

Absolutely Fabulous and Will and Grace the funniest ever!
-
Yes Minister is absolutely top drawer, in light of recent MP scandals i've been watching it again - and it still works brilliantly. I just downloaded Yes Prime Minister last night, fantastic stuff.
I can watch Father Ted all night long
But regular viewing on my wee ipod is
Scrubs
I'm Alan Partridge
King Of The Hill
QI
The Office (US version is actually better than the original!!)
Still Game
Big Train
Little Britain
(yeah, i pretty much just have these on whilst i'm pottering about. get a few funny stares at work when someone walks by and the see i've got the Simpsons on my ipod at my desk!)
-
Not seen many films but I love Father Ted, I have a few on DVD and find them funny all the time. I laughed a lot at Kevin and Perry go Large also enjoyed the music. Austin Powers films were funny but not sure I would laugh at them again!!!! Pirates of the Carbean had a lot of funny bits and I am a bit keen on Johnny Depp!!!! Sit coms I used to enjoy are My Family, Good life, Rising Damp, Steptoe and Son, I foot in the grave and the childens show Worzel GUmmage...bring back Worzel!!!!! :farmer:
-
Oh yes...Little Britain.....very funny ;D ;D ;D
-
Last of the summer wine,
it reminds of rural living as it once was, with a certain "innocence".
-
OMG No-one's mentioned Blackadder! :o
Best comedy film,for me anyway........ Cyrano de Bergerac
-
I know I'm way too old for this, but I love The Mighty Boosh, esp. series 1 and 2. What are you all now thinking about me , lol? :&>
-
What is it about ?
Julie ;D
-
oh dear...2 guys living in a zoo , series 2 in a shop, with a lot of other weird characters (like a shaman and a talking gorilla) and more weird storylines, my kids call it "random". In between they sing songs from different aeras of popular music. A lot of innuendo I believe my youngest doesn't quite get, lol. I find the guys seriously funny...:&>
-
" The young ones!" I always watched that with Neil the hippy being so picked on and depressed, all being medical students and I sometimes found Bottom funny (not mine) Blackadders Castle is about 3 miles from us!!! It is now police training college but very well looked after, we stumbled upon some graves stones on a walk nearby and they were from the Blackadder family, it appears they were rouges and the series was based on them, particularly how Mary Queen of Scots lived in Stirling Castle, Edinburgh and in nearby in Lochgelly I think!!!!!!
-
Why has no one mentioned the SIMPSONS or SOUTH PARK they are brilliant as they get away with doing and saying stuff we would all love to say and do !!
Kind regards
Joe :)
-
I don't watch either the Simpson's or south park , but I do tend say stuff that pops into my head anyway.... :o ;D
The young ones , Married with children , Soap , Mr Ed , I dream of Jeannie , Steptoe and Son , Father 'Fekkin' Ted , Dads Army and One Foot in the Grave...all great and in no particular order.
But the one program that shaped my whole life really (not a comedy though ) was Out Of Town , with Jack Hargreaves lovely program and a lovely man .....
cheers

Don't know that one , What is it about?.
Kind regards

I love Father Ted but only to watch the housekeeper fall off the window sill.otherwise its Mock the week, QI and Everybody loves Raymond.
-
I agree it's a fond memory of my childhood .Such a pity that so much of what he showed us has probably gone forever!
-
QI, Mock the week, 8 out of 10 cats, Family Guy, American Dad, The big bang theory, The IT crowd, The F Word as for films to many to mention. Oh Band of Brothers i have watched it so many times and never get bored of it.
-
I have benidorm on my i pod, which makes me laugh out loud, mainly because we go back to the same holiday resort every year and meet the same people there.
i love the old classics, porridge,open all hours, rising damp,dads army, steptoe & son, the likely lads, only fools, etc. have got a bit tired of last of the summer wine, its a bit like a mockumentary of village life round here except with southeners putting on patronising yorkshire accents. wally batty was a hero.
-
sorry Joe , I forgot to answer... hope you were asking about Out of Town ? Anyway , it was presented by Jack Hargreaves , and he would carry out all sorts of country pursuits , he would go fishing all over the country . He would show how all sorts of country ways of life used to be carried out , some were still being done , others were long gone . The whole program was like from another time really , he had such a laid back way of presenting , and everything seemed to be at an easy comfortable pace. He would reminisce about days gone by with lovely old stories about the old blacksmith or the wheelmaker . Just about everything 'country' was covered. Out of Town morfed into Country Boy later , but it still covered mainly the same sort of topics . O of T is available on DVD , it can be rented from lovefilm for one !!, and I would recommend getting some of them if you can . I was always out camping in the woods for days on end , as a kid . Catching fish and rabbits etc , and growing veg on my allotments , and this program cemented an interest in old ways and simple living , that has stayed with me till this day . Jack Hargreaves was such an influence on my life,that when he died ,it was like losing a granddad , I actually shed more than a tear or two ...
cheers

I love the oldies, like Dads Army, Are you being served, the Good Life, Only Fools and Horses, Steptoe, Father Ted, and Fawlty Towers, and definitely Little Britain and The Royle Family.
-
I vaguely remeber a tiny chap called jimmy clitheroe, who, when he visited sheffield, stayed in a tatty caravan in the yard of a stables owned by friends of ours. i think he died in the mid sixties. he was supposed to be some famous radio? tv ? comic actor? but i just recall him being small and grumpy when i used to go round and see the ponies and pigs.

-
Shaun of the Dead's much better, lol! :&>
