Seinfield.

The stupid barrage of crappy OTT American comedy we've bombarded with for the past 10 years(not all, but most big block busters)...it's all the fecking same and it reeks of trying way too hard. The Hangover and

Slapstick.

The stupid, "Woooooo get your wazzers out for the lads!!!" kind of ****e.

Des ****ing Bishop

Stupid jokes about women making sandwiches and all that stupid, simplistic sexist humour...I don't find it offensive, I find it thick.

Same goes for racist jokes of that^^ ilk.

Jokes. I fecking hate jokes. ALL of them.

Southpark.

Him being a cock bag is what makes them so funny.

I don't think the American office is remotely amusing. I don't directly compare it to the original because they are completely different styles of comedy, but I absolutely love the UK office and most of what Gervais does. He is hilarious and far from smug or "sneery" in my opinion.

I think the rubberbandits are excruciatingly unfunny in the way only the Irish seem to be able to achieve.

Hardy Bucks to me is agony. In fact any Irish tv where the humour is based on ignorant country folk.

But it's satire. The fakeness IS the joke.

Agree on Zippy though. My boyfriend told me last week that he didn't know what Rainbow is. I'm still disgusted with him!

Not one bit. I'm actually irritated right now. Thanks a bunch.

flutterflye · 13-12-2011 8:23am

Agree about the slapstick comedy - I just don't get it.
Also toilet humour - I am not a 5 year old boy, so it just is not funny.
The average 'comedy' movie these days is a mixture of the above, so of course this means they are not even mildly entertaining.

I don't like slapstick, which with the exception of American Dad is what tends to characterise mainstream American comedy.

I hate Des Bishop. So hard to listen to.

I find it hard to watch comedy shows that have preset audience laughter.

I love British comedy, especially the sort of surreal Monty Python stuff.

Chuck Stone · 13-12-2011 11:54am

I like a bit of well timed slap-stick but I don't like toilet humour.

How about this for the slap-stick dislikers?

I don't find it particularly funny. It's too mild for me.

Russell Howard ... BBC golden boy- totally unfunny.

He's the sort of guy you'd find funny when you were 12. Mmmm... is that his appeal?

yupyup7up · 13-12-2011 12:28pm

Lee Evans and Russell Howard.

I reckon Rubberbandits and The Viper from Hardy Bucks are hilarious!

Stand up wise - I don't know of any female comedians that are funny.

I think Rhod Gilbert, Frankie Boyle, Bernie Mac (R.I.P.

) are class.

Jimmy Carr is brilliant!

I wish Bo Selecta (pre season 3) came back

Ah but isn't this kind of taking the piss out of slapstick? The thing that's supposedly so funny about slapstick is that the person who's victim to the wallop with the frying pan or kick up the arse is that they get up and leave unscathed (grrrr.....stupid....makes me angry even thinking about it). The bottom fellas have essentially murdered someone with exaggerated slapstick violence showing what would actually happen if we all carried on in crrrrazy zany slapstick way in real life.

That wasn't an example of slapstick. Next please?
