IMO one of the best series EVER...I've always been a huge Rowan Atkinson fan...He's fucking brilliant...Don't forget about Tony Robinson as his bitch, Baldrick....If you have Netflix, the series is now on there....Warning: It's British humor
Some might not like or even understand it.

Oh yes smartest comedy around.
You ever watched Faulty towers?
Or Father ted?
-
Yes. :D

Faulty Towers yes, Because I'm a huge fan of Monty Python series...I've never heard of Father Ted...
My love of British TV came from me living overseas...I hated it at first because I was brainwashed by the crappy sarcasm of American comedy...I grew to love British Comedy and still watch it any chance I can...I like Keeping up Appearances and Are you being Served?....The only American comedies I watch are Seinfeld and Frasier.
-
Father Ted is up there as the best of all time..... its a shame that dude died. PIP.
Blackadder goes fourth was good.... wasn't so much a fan of the rest of them.

I'll have to check out this Father Ted...no homo.
-
yes :)
-
Haven't seen either for years but liked him in both Blackadder and Mr. Bean (not the movie). I remember 'Merry Xmas, Mr. Bean' had me in tears.

Oh man. Can't sign off on these tho. Seen one episode, you've seen 'em all.

Damn Wiggs, i'm surprised by you rknowledge of british comedy.
Big Blackadder fan, not too much of the first series though. i found 2 and 3 more enjoyable.
-
Blackadder 2 series was the best of the 4,and Wiggs you want to go on youtube and look for any episiodes of Only fools and horses,and a series called One foot in the grave.You`ll soon be a fan of Delboy and Victor Meldrew.
-
Classic christmas episode in 6 parts.
-
FAther ted was so cynical of the church it was banned in ireland for ages... its probably the funniest thing around
3 Priests on a fecking island - Father Ted (the brain of the operation without much of a brain himself) Father Jack (full time alcoholic, violent, cruel, foul mouthed and pretty much drunk all the time)
Father Dougal (complete fucking moron)
There are many other priests in that series some of them hate each other, its a complet piss take of the church of Ireland, for excample Bishop Brennan who hates Ted so much he would love to kill him
you see him sometime taking a bath in a golden bathtube with a naked girl :D
Its hysterical most of the time and total cult here.
Go to the below youtube link and go to 03:00 min :D

Classic scene.
-
Wiggs, have you seen IT Crowd? And the British Office is excellent too.
-
Wiggs you are without a doubt the whitest black man in the world. I mean that as a compliment though-- so please don't be offended. ;D
-
black adder is my all time favourite series, loved it since i was a toddler, weve made some great sitcoms over the years... IT crowd, mighty boosh, peep show and plenty more i cant remember off the top of me head
the US always makes the best drama tho, soppranonos, 24, etc etc fucking excellent
-
Yep, Blackadder was good, but my favourite was the final series set in World War I. Had one of the best and most poignant endings in British TV history IMO.
Only Fools And Horses was excellent too as well as The Royle Family.
-
Never even heard of this...is it a European show ???

IT Crowd is brilliant.
Absolutely. Glad to hear they are back with another season and plans for another one too.
-

DeNiro is good in all mafia related stuff.....but I prefer Goodfella's the pistol whipping scene.... 8)
-
Fr Ted is enjoyable. It is worth watching a few episodes but I think it has been made a cult moreson because the actor who played Ted died. I regularly see it on but flick past it
The Office, Peep Show and Summer Heights High are much better IMO

A few years ago after seeing the british Office i quoted Brent constantly.....even his way of saying "Yeah..." after almost every sentence... no homo ;D
-
His series of free podcasts are also hilarious. More so due to Karl Pilkington (a radio producer from his old show)
The bit where he was dressed as an emu was hilarious. Sometimes you feel for him and other times you want to violently beat him.
It was oringinallya podcast made into an animated series with Gervais, Steven Merchant and Karl Pilkington.
-

Totally agree.....it was that uncomfortable factor that really made the show so funny....go from feeling bad for him to just waiting to see the car wreck that you knew was coming...
-
Yes. British humor (humour?) is at times, "dry" but then so is a good martini.
-
Thanks fellas...I'll check out all your suggestions...
Thanks George ;D 8)

Hey Ursus,did you see the Karl Pilkington series called an idiot abroad,it was hilarious.
-
I think i'm blacker than wiggs
face it Wiggs, if GB was "The Jamie Foxx Show" I would be "Jamie" and you would be "Braxton"
a) that reference might not work
2)it doesn't help that i compared myself to Jamie Foxx
