During this summer break I am watching a lot more British comedy, so far I have watched Look Around You and am in the middle of re-watching my Spaced DVD's and some Mighty Boosh, any suggestions for more good British comedies?
The IT crowd, of course. (Geek Humour.)
The Inbetweeners. (There's this one scene where this kid gets upset that they accidentally caught a fish which can never live a normal life afterwards, so he punches it to death against the floor of their boat.)
Teachers. (Insane mundane)
Mumbai calling (Brand new, but i like it.)
Absolute Power (Stephen fry proving how clever he is.)
No Heroics (Superheroes off duty getting pissed at the pub.)
Goodnight Sweetheart (TV repair man in the early 90s finds a magic time portal back to 1942. He quickly becomes a crosstime bigamist.)
the fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (70s ridiculuosness, Martin Clunes made a remake a few months ago, not impressed).
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (The 80s version.)
Coupling (dating is just hilarious.)
Moving Wallpaper.(They're making a soap. Funny thing is is that ITV actually made the soap too and aired them back to back.)
Extras (Ricki Gervas from the office and that the Drunk (redundant much?) Scott from Ugly Betty as extras on movies with reasonable sized actors, some of whom are even American. Ben Stiller Wigs out. Daniel Radcliff walking around with a slightly used "rubber Johnny" claiming that he's going to use it soon when he gets the opportunity... in Proximity to a sex goddess like Diana Rig no less who is suitably unimpressed.)
Green Room (Doctors in Love despite one obstacle after another cocking everything up..)
Skins (A visceral dissection several underaged gaggles of cigarette toting doped up pisshags.)
And it goes without saying
Black adder
Young Ones
Red Dwarf
Blackbooks
Father Ted
The Goodies
Stuff. more stuff, Even more stuff.
it's just unfortunate that these people consider 6 episodes to be a years worth of television.
Just heard a great interview with the producer of I'm Alan Partridge Armando Iannucci on The Sound of Young America, he also has a cool looking movie called In the Loop.
