Is this the epitome of british humour?
I have literally never laughed at any other sitcom ever
>>63623075
Not really, it's the entry level kind of stuff done by some great writers at the very end of their careers, way past their glory years. It wouldn't get near the top 20 best british sitcoms ever.
>>63623133
Okay, then name anything funnier. If I don't laugh at it then your opinion is shit.
>>63623159
Father Ted being the most fucking obvious example. If you don't laugh at that, you are devoid of any value as a human being.

5-10% of Monty Python's output. The rest doesn't hold up or isn't memorable. All the movies are good
Red Dwarf
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Garth Marenghi's Dark Place
The Mighty Boosh
The Peter Serafinowicz Show
That's about all I can offer from experience. Not a britbong
>>63623159
spaced was pretty good
>>63623075
It's literally just an American sitcom with British accents. There's no difference between it and the kind of shit you would see on NBC or something. Go watch some real British humour.
>>63623159
Boosh
>>63623075
I don't know why people put this show on such a peddle stool.
This guy right here is the reason the show was that good

Stick to watching American comedy then, sounds like it's right up your alley.
>>63623386
why are you watching your grandma take a shit anon
>>63623357
Now that's funny!
>>63623159
No one can name anything because they are just contrarian dumbshit faggots, I.T. Crowd is 10/10. Peepshow is up there, Mighty Boosh is entertaining at times too.
Not even Linehan's best. Most of the actors have been in better things too.
>>63623159
Darkplace
>>63623159
>>63623362
Not even close retard, not even close.
>>63623405
Such a fucking amazing show. It would be nice to see it revived. They could even set it up that after Darkplace (in darkplaces universe)) became a cult hit and Garth was asked to write some new episodes in a modern setting or something.

The office isn't really "laugh out loud" funny but rather "ha, they did something awkward -smirk-" funny
>>63623759
I'd say more snorting laughter, still leagues better than the IT Crowd in its ambition and character development IMO (in my opinion)David Brent showing up every so often separate from it for skits can fuck off

Nope, he's my least liked character and I've watched the show several times. His best scene was his first. From there on, downwards.
>>63624242
It's pretty damn funny, more than that it is just brilliantly made character humour, you can't overstate how influential it has been, there's not really a single other comedy that has done character shit like it did. Honestly it's not one of my favourites, but objectively better than "The British Big Bang Theory" that OP likes.
>Years ago we used to have fun threads about IT Crowd

I like The IT Crowd, but Peep Show is far superior.

Retard.
>>63623609
This show got a lot right but what impresses me is that even with the over the top humor and craziness going on everywhere the show and tone still felt dark. I think a lot of that had to do with lighting and music.

Oh good, I was planning on watching Black's Books and it got me wanting to ask you guys what were some other good Britcoms to add to my playlist.

>>63623666
This is a pretty good list. I guess I should give Father Ted a look.
>>63623233

I watched the first episode, didn't think it was that great.

Hi anon, this is Clem FandangoCan you hear me?
>>63623159
anything written by Armando Iannucci is better, so that drops the IT crowd already out the top 10, then you have one off's like spaced, peep show, Bottom etc..and then Lineham's other shows are also all better than the IT crowd, which pushes it out of the top 20. Good enough answer?
The Thick of It is the objective peak
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJP4dr_mioA
Jam is the objective highest form of art and comedy.
>>63623075
She's so fucking sexy
>>63630959

It's not really funny, you may smile every no and then but that's it
I prefer the America version
>you can see how moss is dead in the eyes
>>63632166
IS THAT JOHNSON?
>>63630959
Not really. Even if you consider any of those "superior" to IT Crowd for any reason, the fact that none of those truly makes you Laugh Out Loud makes them worse that it. Or are you going to tell me that peep show consistently made you laugh until your mouth hurt? It didn't
>you'll never lift up Jen's skirt and bend her over the desk
>>63632166
I saw the pilot. Thought it had potential.
I always just figured this was the British version of The Big Bang Theory. Popular garbage.
It's dreadful.
>>63632272
>Or are you going to tell me that peep show consistently made you laugh until your mouth hurt?
Yeah
>It didn't
Yeah it did
>>63632299
Well you're wrong. The robbing the bank episode, the pretending to be disabled and ending up in manchester one, the fire in the aquarium, did you see that ludicrous display last night
It's the definition of hilarious.
Jen the Fredo was the best episode, fight me
>not a single one mentions Life's Too Short
Come on it's practically the same kind of humour as the office
As a Scot I recommend Still Game and Chewing the Fat.

After watching the red head on this show life is strange watching her play a serious role on the show "Being Human".
>>63629587
Watch the second episode and drop it if you don't like it after that. I accidentally skipped the first episode when I started watching Peep Show because Hulu fucked up the order, and that was the episode that hooked me.
>>63630981
Objectively true and underrated

Inbetweeners is brilliant, but only if you watched it when you were in secondary school or college. If you haven't watched it by 18 I don't think there is much to take from it.

Gavin and Stacy is pretty good at times, but Blackadder, Peep Show, Father Ted, Mighty Boosh, Fawlty Towers, Yes Minister, The Office, IT Crowd, Red Dwarf, The Thick Of It and Dad's Army are all pretty good. Countdown and Pointless are still the funniest and best shows on British TV, even though they're gameshows.
