Miranda is shockingly awful, the sort of TV that is best avoided and frankly a complete waste of license money.
We must be the negative of each other. I think Miranda is quite amusing. Not the best, but amusing. Assuming my theory is correct, you must hate Blackadder series 2-4, but quite like series 1.
The funniest thing on any tv channel is The Big Bang Theory
"Another mans poison..." and all that. I had to endure 2 episodes last Xmas. The 15 and 13yo nieces were all over the floor laughing, but I'd file this in the same drawer as "Friends" - the "Utter Cack" drawer.
I actually find "Warehouse 13" more humerous and it isn't comedy primarily.
There hasn't really been good comedy since "Boosh" finished, and the third season of that was its weakest. "The Office" was excellent. The last stand-out comedy series was "Spaced" a real triumph that one!
Red Dwarf X was alright but suffered from telegraphed punchlines and reworked jokes from earlier series that were less funny this time around.

Yeah i agree and also like W13 ,at first i thought the characters were too silly but i actually like the program a lot now,very similar to NCIS i could not take those characters seriously either but now i like that show .
I have tried to watch mrs browns boys, but, never got further than about 10 mins. The jokes are just pathetic, they are so obvious you can see them coming a mile off and the 'ooh I've messed up lets look at the camera' was done expertly by morcombe and wise ( even if it was scripted). The blonde woman seems to have no other purpose than to instruct the audience when they should laugh.
I actually find it so unfunny to the point that it really annoys me. How can so many people watch it?? I thought So Haunt me, oh Dr Beeching and Goodnight sweetheart were bad but mrs browns boys is foul. It scrapes the barrel of puerile humour and is simply pathetic.
You want to see something funny then watch 'it's always sunny in Philadelphia'. Now that's piss funny.
AAAAArrgh! NO! ,Ricky Gervais least funniest person since Victoria Wood.Laughs at his own jokes because nobody else does lol.
HehHeh! First season of "The Office" was pretty good, the second less so.
Ricky Gervais stand up though, as you already point out, complete garbage...laughs at his own jokes - which aren't particularly funny to begin with. I invested in the "Politics" and "Animals" double DVD (a mate convinced me to "give 'im a go") only watched "Politics" thinking "...this has to get better at some point...". Never watched "Animals". 'Nuff said!
...can't understand why he does so well. Then, I cannot work out how Michael McIntyre has a successful career as a comedian either...:confused:
The Office doesn't seem to get much love on here but both series are amazing IMO. 2nd one is possibly better because it's darker and more sadistic. cringe-inducing comedy at it's finest. didn;t like the US remake at all though. far too "wacky".
agree that Gervais being himself is pretty annoying though. I think he knows he is too tbh...

I can't stand him either! Far too full of himself. His "stand-up" isn't really stand-up either. It's just pre-written routenes(? I can't spell for toffee :lol: ) and he seems to have almost no spontaneous interaction with the audience from what I've seen which isn't much to be honest, because, as I say, I can't stand him!
Michael McIntyre is another one who I just don't really understand either. He always seems to be laughing at stuff when he doesn't seem to have said anything funny. How he's the countrys most successful stand-up is beyond me.

Surely it can't be worse than My Family, that was total arse :D

"Got a dirty phone call yesterday , man on the other end said to meet him on the corner and he will show you his willy"
"dirty bastard I was shocked"
"Fecker never turned up.....sigh"
I prefer 'Not going out' that has so many one liners that are genius.

...at least "My Family" had Daniella Denby-Ashe in it!
I'd rather watch that then what she was currently in, or was in. waterloo road.. I find myself watching things on bbc4 or 2 far more often now
8 out of 10 cat's made me laugh earlier.

Yeah quite enjoyed it,it still had kept some of the original feel.
Yep, i agree. He is simply not funny and he's also an arrogant bastard!:grin:
