DH watching the film and guffawing. I tried 10 minutes and couldn't take any more.

Never met a woman who finds it funny.

Or Monty Python.

AIBU?

@JackieWeaverHandforthCouncil

My favourite episode Grin

@daisiesonmydress ooh I absolutely love Curb - never met another UK person (other than DH) who watches it though. You’ve definitely redeemed yourself Grin but AP and Larry David are rather similar characters though?

Love the English ( original ) The Office , but mrs Browns boys really needs to be put out to grass
Detectorists is very funny and poignant
I also loved ' lead balloon' but then I am a Jack Dee fan!

My company rented the real life bomb disposal robot to the film company.

PurpleDaisies · 15/01/2022 17:53

Mrs Brown’s Boys is awful.
I like both of the Offices but the US one is better in my opinion.

He is very funny.

I loved the Sonia series Grin

AP fans what’s everyone’s thoughts on This Country

@secreteatingteen

Curb your enthusiasm actually

Also love Curb. I think there are loads of similarities between Alan and Larry.

I think Larry David is much more edgy and challenging and subversive.

Alan Partridge just seems juvenile and puerile.

Maybe I've missed the point of it entirely

I wasn’t that keen. I’ve only seen an odd episode or two though.

I find it hilarious. There are some posters on here with Partridge inspired user names so I'm guessing they do too.

"They're sex people Lynn!" Grin

I don't really like monty python, however life of Brian is fucking hilarious.
But YADBU for not liking Alan partridge, he cracks me up every time I see him playing 'air' instruments, his timing is brilliant.

the80sweregreat · 15/01/2022 17:56

I really do not understand American humour , I'm not sure why or if it's just preference but I find it forced. People rave about ' will and Grace ' and Fraiser , 'friends ' etc but I can't get on with it !

@PurpleDaisies

Anyone seen the accidental partridge account on twitter?
I love this account. DH sends me stuff from it on a daily basis
Crabwoman · 15/01/2022 17:57

YABVVU.

the80sweregreat · 15/01/2022 17:57

This country was inspired!
I like a spoof comedy , but that seemed like a documentary!! 😂

DobbyTheHouseElk · 15/01/2022 17:57

It’s of it’s time. I find it funny, but it has dated.

The series when he lived in the Travel Lodge is very funny.

At its best, I loved Brooklyn 99. The Halloween episodes etc were sublime
