to think TV does not make us LAUGH anymore

[hamsterloverlover]

can you think of the last show that actually made you laugh out loud?

We're laughing at Parks and Recreation right now 😁

Frasier, and Bullseye on Challenge TV.

Alan Partridge used to make me howl with laughter. I still quote it on an almost daily basis, Alan's Big Plate, Monkey Tennis?, Stop getting Bond wrong, a cup of beans...

Orange is the new black

Still need to watch the new series

Impractical jokers, last man standing, sitcoms mostly

Catastrophe is great, also her last programme, 3 girls sharing a flat .. what's the name of it.
Heavy drinking teacher would wake up in a lunatics bed in Sheffield and drag herself down for double maths with 4b.
(All values approximate)
Her brother is/ was an Irish rugby international

Car Share made me laugh out loud. Can't remember before that.

Drifters, Bad Education, Peter Kay's Car Share, White Gold, Quacks, Witless. All very funny and entertaining.

Phil Glenister as Gene Hunt was funny. Drama are repeating Life on Mars again from Monday.

Funny things I've watched recently:
The Agency
The Windsors
House of Fools
Toast of London
Inside number 9
Raised by wolves
Catastrophe

It's always sunny in Philadelphia also it's got many different levels but I have to admit at first I wasn't keen. There's dark humour, random humour but also as it's grown it has tackled things in a comical and smart way

Like others, the IT crowd and Father Ted, oh and 3rd Rock from the Sun...all oldies!

The Windsors is great only because it has to be so accurate.

New series of prep show soon

The Ronnie Barker Lecture given by Ben Elton threw some light on this tonight.

Forgot - the other one on recently that I was howling at, was Peter Kay's Comedy Shuffle.... although I suppose it is made up of clips of old shows, it is currently on 'ordinary' TV

Anyone catch the new Crystal Maze?

'I physically cannot do riddles'

... that did make me laugh

Green Wing. V, v funny. I'm fact, that's probably the last time I watched television...

The Lego masters on channel four yesterday when the kid was showing off his lego poo.

Catastrophe
Friday night dinner
Grandma's house
The last leg

They've all made me laugh out loud.

Some old comedies were excruciating - My Family, for instance - cringe-making Duty Free, Terry and June. If you're too young to have seen them, see if they're on YouTube and feel grateful.

leccybill alan partridge has weaved his way into our everyday life. So much so, that I don't think there's a day that goes by without me, dh, or our family group on whatsapp, where we don't quote something from it

BikeRunSki couldn't agree more. Oh and when Victor Meldrew picked up the Dachshund when he answered the phone.

Catastrophe - yes!
The Daily Show
Baskets (funny and sad at the same time)

Father Ted always makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it.
I just watched the new BBC comedy Quacks and found myself laughing out loud a couple of times (a bit embarrassing as I was watching it with headphones on in a tent on a very quiet campsite)

Terry + June and Duty Free............agreed Terrible.

There is one that is even worse Your"e Only Young Twice. I hadnt even heard of it until ITV3 started showing it last year. Bloody pile of toot.
