Move over Monte Python!
« on: November 22, 2011, 03:44:01 PM »
I finally found a Brit show that beats Monte Python. My Mom wouldn't let me watch Benny Hill, so can't say on that one. And 'Are you being served?' is funny but not as good.

I've been sick as a dog, school's out for Thanksgiving so today was the day to spend in bed watching TV with my 6-year old. She loves this kids, claymation show "Shaun of the Sheep." Maybe its the cold medicine but the show is just funny! Right up there with Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry.

To my Limey friends, now I understand your love affair with the sheep. It's all making sense to me now.

That show is Hilarious.  On par or funnier than Wallace and Gromit.

Shaun the Sheep is pretty good. The no dialogue makes it easier to watch with talkative kids too.

Never liked Monty Python. Just stare at the screen when the wife puts it on, embarrassed that this is seen as a highlight of British Humour. Aside from one or two funny moments it's just plain idiocy for the most part.

Fawlty Towers though, now there was a show!

What was that British comedian on late night, kinda like a talk show. He was always poking fun at the Scottish, Catholics, and like to say "... in ...Shire, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting Vicar". Dave something...?

"Dad's Army" was always one of my favorites as well as Black Adder and Mr.Bean.

I doubt it was him, but look up the Late Late show with Craig Ferguson. The man is hilarious!

Red Dwarf, Mr. Bean, Father Ted, Black Adder are all awesome.  Python was kind of like SNL a lot of the time.  The best of Python is some of the best humor ever.  The other 90% of their stuff could be painful to watch.

Red Dwarf was funnier early on, then kind of started to get lame.  The last season or two were pretty bad.
