british comedy- male or female?
Crash:
Yeah!
Not the 9 oclock news, young ones, blackadder, new statesman, fawlty towers, open all hours, spitting image, alas smith&jones, fry&laurie, harry enfield, fast show, league of gents, fathr ted (irish), eddie izzard, the office, god i could go on.
Why is brit comedy so different? I guess they're not just chasing the snappy one-liners and many of them try to inject a sense of irony & parody in the comedy, perhaps moreso than their US counterparts? I know it's a bad example, but just watching Friends for even 5 minutes makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, pull itself out and run away.
Any one else? In defence of the states; the simpsons and the family guy are both hilarious
Luke C:
The British do comedy better than anyone else.
The Americans do it pretty well and The Simpsopns is porbably my favourite TV show of all time but overalll British Comdey> American Comedy.
For a start American comedies often don't get Irony right, part of the reason why I thought Jeph might be non-American since he does it pretty well.
Tomservo:
Anyone ever heard of Coupling?
I saw it on PBS one night and it was just hillarious and British as hell. I also like Monty Python and the British version of Trigger Happy TV. I think it seems like Britian just makes better shows since Americans like me will never see the Britian's crap tv that isn't sent to America.
