Miranda - i just don't get it

[jennymac]

Is it just me, or is it really just not funny? I feel almost embarrassed watching it - it is so cringy!

I just absolutely 'what I call' LOVE her. I wish she was my best friend. She's one of those few people who make me feel giggly even before they have actually done anything funny. Her show is beautifully written, warm and so silly and it never fails to make me weak with laughter. She deserves to be a national treasure I reckon.

So there.

Oh yes john bishop is the ultimate one trick pony Awful.

I don't love it or hate it. It doesn't make me laugh out loud and don't go out of my way to watch it. The falling over gets a bit predictable.

What's up with John Bishop? He's ok

I'm I the only one that likes The Middle then?

Do agree on John Bishop though - found him faintly amusing the first time I saw him but now find him quite irritating.

The Middle? The American one with the funny little boy? Who's really 12? No we like that too.

I find JB very misogynistic

Think that's the one 2old...
£ kids Axel, Susan and Brick.

The dad is very tall.

Clearly talking in code £= 3

Yes that's the one.

I don't really like sit coms in general - too staged and predictable - but I do think it's nice to see a female comic in a prime time slot.

Outnumbered rules!

Who else would you rather had her own show?

well I love and so does my daughter an gives us chance for some girly telly watching time.
I even went online to watch the old episodes which we had not seen as we new to Miranda.
Clean comedy

am i missing something about stevie? isnt the whole idea of her that she is meant to be really annoying, i think she is funny too...agree about her in horrible histories too

Awful IMO, simply not funny, three jokes (being fugly, single and clumsy) can't really be stretched into a series.

Can't believe she won so many comedy awards.

However I like The Mighty Boosh, Grandma's House and Klang which many other people don't, humour is a personal thing.

Some people like Allo Allo

YANBU I don't get her either, I just turn it over when I see her.

I think Miranda is supposed to be staged and predictable. A farce if you like. It's not meant to be witty or edgy. That's what I like about it anyway.

However, I can understand why people don't like/get it.

Outnumbered has some classic episodes. The little girl Karen is just scarily evil and so funny because of it. My two favourite that really stand out as painfully funny were the airport episode and the one which starts with Ben and the dad at the hospital.
A few of them were only marginally funny and they definitely were not my inlaws cup of tea but I love them anyway.
Miranda is amusing from time to time but I would not go out of my way to watch it.
It must be hard to write comedy for TV because you have to appeal to a large audience who's sense of humor will be quite varied.

Oh dear not Outnumbered either! Those precocious children and drippy parents make me want to set fire to the tv.

Big Fat Gipsy Wedding is the best laugh for me!

I like Miranda, but I can see why some people find it cringy. "Gabby"

Let me light the match

Miranda is a national treasure.

Lol noddy - we seem to share the same feelings on what's not funny.

I saw Charlie Brooker last night. There was a clip fron a past rude comedy show which I thought was hilarious.

I had never seen it before and cant remember the name.
