Oxigen_Waste Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Okay, I've always been a huge fan of your brand of humour, and am quite well versed in it up 'till the late 90's. But could you please point out to me good recent (post 2000) shows? I am aware of (and love) Spaced, Black Books, The Office and Extras, but I want to know about all the rest I might be missing! : peace:
The Bard Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 (edited) Peeeeeeep Shooooooow. Also, I don't like the office. Ricky Gervais' smarmy cunt face probably has somethign to do with it. Edited December 3, 2010 by The Bard
Charlie Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 The Inbetweeners? Great programme with a film in the making.
The Bard Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Charlie said: The Inbetweeners. Yeah. I've only seen a few episodes of this, but it totally succeeds where Skins failed to give an accurate portrayal of the awkwardness of teenage school life.
ReZourceman Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Peep Show, Roman's Empire, The Inbetweeners, Green Wing and The IT Crowd. [/Thread]

Diageo Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 There was a program I absolutely loved, called Coupling. Not sure if it's British, I'm pretty sure it is, but I thought it was incredibly funny.
Diageo Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 ReZourceman said: Yes Coupling is very brilliant. I love you more than ever ReZ!
mcj metroid Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 I wouldn't recommend It crowd to be honest. It has it's moments but isn't quite as good as black books or father ted before it I think. But it's enjoyable enough.
MoogleViper Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Peep Show is shit. However I will echo Green Wing, Inbetweeners and surprised ReZ hasn't mentioned How Not to Live Your Life.

It is excellent though.

Retro_Link Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Really!? I could understand thinking that now if you rewatched it, but Ricky Gervais annoyed you back then at the time?

He always has, I'm pretty sure that's his whole purpose in life is just to annoy me, the commercial success is just a coincidence.

I don't know anybody who's like that either.
Dog-amoto Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 My Family. But that may be late 90s, not sure
ReZourceman Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Dog-amoto said: My Family. But that may be late 90s, not sure It doesn't matter when it was....this is a "good" British sitcoms thread. :p (Its entertaining enough, but horribly predictable in a bad way)

Not sure if it's British, I'm pretty sure it is, but I thought it was incredibly funny. I remember Coupling from years ago and I definitely enjoyed it back then! I think one of the funnier people in it was called Geoff but he wasn't in one of the following series (I'm not sure how many there were ) In a way, it reminded me a little of a British Friends due to the three male and three female characters, but it was pretty different! I can remember finiding one episode particularly funny, but I can't think what it was about now Anyway, I'd suggest Peep Show aswell and, though I didn't watch it all that much, I think Green Wing was probably pretty decent aswell

[/Thread] By the way O_W, this list was pretty much in order, starting from "Watch or you're less than nothing to me" all the way to "very good".
