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?

The date to an owl sanctuary.

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.

@secreteatingteen

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 !

Would you like me to lap dance for you?

@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
