myself and the other half are going to a little britain party soon.

not having seen it, we borrowed the dvd from a friend.

after watching the first one, we looked at each other and both asked "what do you think?".

basically, it's really hyped and people at work think it's hilarious, but we still fail to see why.

Anyone else think it's utter cr@p?

imho
funny: only fools and horses, fast show, blackadder 2 onwards, young ones, harry enfield, jack dee, lee evans, red dwarf 1-7, rah rah rah
unfunny: little britain, blackadder 1, erm, can't think of many others.

 

ps, we did watch another episode, but it didn;t get any better

 

I thought it was funny the first couple of times I saw it.

Then I thought it was the same gag week after week after week after....zzzzzzz

I can see the appeal to the same people who became addicted to Tellytubbies, which was basically the same thing - the same thing again and again to drum it into small minds...

The fact that its been as successful as it is would suggest that it does have lots of followers.

Personally, I think it's great, a made all the better by the silly voiceovers by Tom Baker

 

The very first time I saw it I didn't get it at all. The second time I saw it and it just happened to be the same episode again (about a month later but before all the hype started) and I laughed my socks off. Don't know why, but I think it takes a while to "get".

 

Appeals to some and not to others just like everything else.
I happen to find it funny, you dont. Thats the way things go.

 

It certainly helps chatting up girls easier. Most know exactly what bitty is and don't require an explanation when you ask.

 

Whats a Little Britain party? Is that what you kids of today are calling it?

 

Ditto

 

I find 50% of it really funny and the other 50% really ****e, favourite sketches are bitty and the bloke who lusts after old ladies

 

how can you not find slackbladder 1 funny !! it had peter cook in it ?? albeit for 1 episode i grant you , but jack large , the sheep , bishop of canterbury , fresh horse etc !!!

 

granted it's been a while, but blackadder 1 doesn't bring back fond memories, blackadder 2 had me in pieces tho

glad to see the fold is divided on the Little Britain thing.

 

its just not funny - nothing original in it - chav humour for brainless chavs

 

Never had the urge to watch a whole episode. Seen some clips and thought it looks ****e.

 

I don't find it funny and have always wondered how it's become so massive

 

U T T E R S H I T E

 

Nope, can't stand it either. Unfunny detritus for the brainless masses.

 

I liked it

OMG I've disagreed with you again Mark

F

 

Seem to remember that The Fast Show got by alright on repeating the same sketches week after week. Oh what short memories we have....

Different people like different things - simple as that. I like Little Britain - not everything works, but show me a series that didn't have some dud moments - Monty Python has its fair share.

I love League of Gentleman (off to see the live show in December) - I know a lot of people don't 'get' that either, but it makes me laugh and that's all that matters.

Warrenm2 - the only brainless thing around here is your daft comment!

 

thats a bit of a broad statement.

so if you dont like it, the ones that do are brainless yea right

 

I'm not a fan either. My boyfriend thinks it hilarious, so it gets very frustrating when he repeats all these jokes to me and I havent got a clue what he's on about!

Although I do know what 'bitty' means............

 

Im not a fan of LB either, some of the sketches are okay but not brilliant imo.

Each to their own tho.

 

So what does Bitty mean?

 

Some are good, others are more stupid than comedy. Why do people laugh at stupidity? I dont "get it" its very repetitive, tried to like it but just find it, well, sh!te....

Same with Bo Selecta. some great jokes in there but the majority of it is based on people laughing at stupidity???

 

anyone?

 

I'll convince you one day!

 

Bitty = When a grown man wants breast feeding from my understand of it.

Hilarious eh

 

"Bitty..."
