Its Fergal the hostess with the mostess, cracks me up.

I feel I am twenty years too old for it but, I prefer it to Little Britain.

oh so you're the person that likes this then? watched it last night and it was hard work

fatsatsuma · 16/01/2011 15:14

I can't stand it, it just makes me cringe and it's just not funny. But each to their own I guess.

Ooopsadaisy · 16/01/2011 15:17

I also feel I should be too old for this.

Little Britain didn't work for me either.

Loving Precious on the coffee stand - I know someone who I am sure is the same person. "Praise the Lord for the 99p breakfast!"

Ian the immigration man!!!!!!!!!

The pilot couple!!!!!! Just like my neighbours!!!!!!!!!!

The bloke with his "pussy wagon"!!!!!!

Reality - yes all of what you say but they discriminate against everyone!

I expect to see myself on there one day!

There will be a character glued to her pc, drinking excessively and neglecting her dcs whilst on MN day and night telling people she doesn't know how to get pregnant

(Or am I just stereotyping myself?)

compo · 16/01/2011 15:38

It's like little Britain

some of it I loathe
some of it is hysterical

I've just finished watching gavin and stacey on boxset and loved it. Don't get the Corden backlash , I think he's a comedy genius Grin

strandednomore · 16/01/2011 15:43

I think it's very funny but then I recognise so many of the characters. I am sure I know the immigration guy and, having lived in the Caribbean, the coffee woman is very funny (although her accent wanders between the islands a bit).

LilBB · 16/01/2011 21:43

I love it too. I liked little Britain at first but only so many times you can watch the same joke. Unfortunately think this will end up the same.

GandalfyCarawak · 16/01/2011 21:47

Really? I think it's utter turd.

Darnsarfupnorf · 16/01/2011 22:20

its waaay to much like airport!!

some bits i can go without but the pilot couple, the 'holiday from hell' couple and a couple of others have me in tears!

'shes a slut! a slut of the skies!!......do you want cream or ice cream with your apple pie tonight' LOVE IT!!! Grin

cant stand little britain tho oddly as its fairly similar...

porcamiseria · 16/01/2011 22:29

it makes me chuckle a bit

I dont get why it's racist, don't they take the piss out of EVERONE, male, female, straight, gay, white, etc?

I like the budget airline slating !!

kittya · 17/01/2011 11:16

David Walliams is so in touch with his feminine side, he's camper than Matt!!

Dp works at heathrow and loves it, says he recognises most of the people Grin. I'm a bit meh, it's not awful.

MackerelOfFact · 17/01/2011 11:31

It should be massively offensive, but somehow it's not. I find the costumes and impersonations as funny as the jokes, Matt Lucas can convincingly be anything.

strandednomore · 17/01/2011 13:10

I actually really like Matt Lucas as the pilot as he actually plays it straight! He is very good, I wonder if he will eventually go on to do serious drama (unless he already has?)

anonacfr · 17/01/2011 14:46

I think it's a lot funnier than Little Britain.

Ryoko · 17/01/2011 15:15

Loved the customs drug check Grin

mumto2andnomore · 17/01/2011 19:45

I love it, really makes me laugh ! The married couple pilots crack me up. And that board game the customs guy designed !

CeliaFate · 18/01/2011 12:12

I can't stand either of them. David Walliams makes my skin crawl, he's such a creepy guy. Ugh!

maighdlin · 18/01/2011 12:34

i love it! first time i watched thought "thats a bit racist" but i don't think they are portraying a race they are portraying a character who just happens to be of a different race/origin. don't like the photographers but love the other characters.

flyingcloud · 20/01/2011 16:17

The customs drug check had me in hysterics.

As did the inflight duty free perfumes:

"Pat Smell"

"Love Rat"

mosschops30 · 20/01/2011 16:24

I like it too, although I know theres been a bit of a hoo-ha about it on MN.

I think its just like Airport was, with all the characters overdone by about 100%

My faves are the married pilots Grin

5Foot5 · 20/01/2011 19:39

I am enjoying this too, but I was never a "Little Britain" fan.

Bue · 20/01/2011 19:52

I know I'm supposed to be offended, but I think it's hysterical. Much better than Little Britain.

kittya · 20/01/2011 23:41

Its so much better.
