As usual, Fafnir has a good point. Or alternatively,
I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumours,
But I think that God’s got a lame sense of humour,
And if he saw Two Pints of Lager And a Packet of Crisps,
I’d expect to find him laughing.
While on that subject, I recommend that anyone with a Europe vs America intellectual superiority complex watches at least five minutes of Two Pints of Lager And a Packet of Crisps. This will provide unequivocal evidence that they are hopelessly, tragically wrong. Genuinely the worst comedy ever made, anywhere.
Rubbish! It’s only the second worst comedy ever made, anywhere. <A href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/h/housethatjackbui_66601810.shtml>"The House that Jack Built" is the worst comedy ever.
(I have to say that I was remarkably impressed that despite the fact that it was a BBC sitcom, even the BBC’s page on it slates it from beginning to end. Which is no less than it deserves)
TPLAPC was truly, truly dreaful. However, could one not still maintain a superiority complex by maintaining that more Americans would find it funny than Europeans?
Oops. I am an HTML imbecile. Can you tidy it up John?
I should point you towards the original joke: Arizona Bay. The CD also contains hilarious and spookily prescient Iraq jokes…
No. ‘So Haunt Me’ was the worst.
What was that sit-com about a single mother called? I can’t remember, but it was crap.
Brighton Belles was probably the worst ever. Why does Carla Lane insist on describing herself as a writer of comedy, rather than gloomy undramatic drama? When even the thoroughly warmed-up studio audience don’t laugh more than twice an episode, you know something’s gone wrong.
just because there’s a terrible british comedy doesn’t mean american comedies are better – there are some truly awful american sitcoms that won’t ever make it over here, just as presumably, american audiences won’t have to endure the whiny idiots from 2 pints.
