I am so all over this thread! I think I could darn near list every British show ever made. LOL Here are my favourites:
- Red Dwarf: mmmeeeooowwrwrrwooowww!!!! Ow!
- The Office: Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are BRILLIANT!!
- Keeping Up Appearances: I swear I laugh *every* time Hyacinth falls into the bushes when confronted by Daisy's dog popping out of the car window
- The Young Ones: "Guys....dinner's on the floor if you want it." What's scary is that, when my boyfriend (who is English!) was much younger, he looked just like Rik Mayall!!! Creepy man!
- Mr. Bean: I just find his quirkiness to be very amusing.
- Blackadder: The snarkiness is what makes this show so endearing.
- Vicar of Dibley: Dawn French's sense of comedy timing is excellent....and that flaky Alice character can't be beat. I also adore that perverted farmer guy...too funny!
- Only Fools and Horses: Dell Boy and Rodney - You plonkers!
- The Kumars at No. 42: It's part "sitcom", part talk-show and 100% funny!
- Alan Partridge: Am I the only one who has seen this show?!?! Steve Coogan is hilarious! Knowing you, GreekChat - a ha; Knowing me, Navane - a ha.
- Fawlty Towers: The Rat episode is by far the funniest FT ever!!!! "It's a Siberian Hampster!" I regularly visit the forum for my favourite English soccer team - here is the avatar I use over there:
¿Que?
I only like certain sketches from Monty Python. Sorry, but I never thought AbFab was funny, nor do I care for Coupling. Benny Hill is....uhm....I'm not sure what Benny Hill is! I don't really go for that 1970's dirty humour.
I watch Britcoms everyday (if you couldn't tell!) and I think I would hyperventilate if my cable company took away BBC America. If that ever happened, I'd have to force Neil to send me tapes of stuff every week. Never fear, I have a worldwide VCR which plays and records in PAL! Booyahkasha!
Dude, RACooper, I don't get me started.
