Going to start watching a new comedy series this week, im mulling over Workaholics and Brooklyn Nine Nine, anyone got any opinions on these?

I hear Brooklyn Nine Nine did well at the Globes and that Andy Samberg did well but I feel like Im a bit sick of him at the minute.

Also open to other suggestions.

I saw the first two episodes of Brooklin Nine Nine on RTE 2 and thought that it was OK. I suspect that it's a grower and happy to keep watching it. I think that E4 are picking it up too.

Ive seen Archer pop up on Netficks a few times? Whats it like?

Angron · 15-01-2014 12:34PM

I think it's great. The Irish netflix has only 3 seasons, though they just started the fifth. I'd recommend it anyway, most of my friends love it.

I liked it, it figuratively got me so excited about the rest of the season I went crazy. :cool:

And me 4.

Archer is brilliant. Laugh out lud funny consistently.

I really love how they over use a joke as well. They overuse the joke so much it becomes funny again. best example being "idiom", "Litera..figuratively" and "ants".

Plus Pam. She ia so magnificently weird.

Brooklyn Nine Nine is ok best part is Andre Braugher as Capt Holt, he is great

I love Raising Hope

Angron · 15-01-2014 02:11PM

Raising Hope is good, it's like the spiritual successor to My Name Is Earl.

Its very "My name is Earl" alright, Hope is like Earls cute little sister.

Just finished catching up on the American Office and Arrested Development (hence why Im looking into new shows).

Angron · 15-01-2014 02:20PM

Arrested Development is great too, first 3 seasons at any rate. Fourth wasn't bad, it just wasn't as good either. Favourite moment in the show was when Tobias was pretending to be Mrs. Featherbottom, tries to make a Mary Poppins-esque entrance, and crashes straight through the table.

Arrested Development is one of the most cleverly written shows ever IMO. The last season suffered from the cast beinging very successful and hard to get them all togther for the entire shooting. The 1st 3 seasons are comedy gold. All the characters are excellent and well cast, and the subtle jokes and preferences are laugh out loud funny.

Tobias saying he just Blue himself to Michael was the line of the show though

:pac:

Deadlie · 15-01-2014 02:36PM

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is my current fix. It's brilliant. Slow burning first series, but comedy gold after that. I got to this episode last night and nearly died laughing.

And if you haven't watch Bob's Burgers yet lads, do yourselves a favour. It's the best animated comedy since season 8 of the Simpsons.

Burt Chance is one of best characters on tv

Community is also very good

gimmick · 15-01-2014 02:36PM

I never "got" AD. Always seemed too forced or soemthing. Tried vainly for series 1 but have long since abandoned it.

jaykhunter · 15-01-2014 10:02PM

I couldn't recommend Arrested Development highly enough. It's 'flaw' is that the characters are very unique (besides Michael) and are unrelatable. I can't relate GOB or Tobias to other TV characters. I think the comedy is absolutely amazing, a really intelligent, fast-paced show. Tons of call backs and call-forwards. I get the point of forced as it's a lot of highly-scripted comedy to pack as much into 22 minutes. The new season on Netflix errs far too much into smart puzzle over being funny. (It only gets really funny halfway through the season)

This season of Always Sunny has been excellent, their best in years. Loved Lethal Weapon 6! Took me a bit to realise that was Mac as the black cop, died when it started coming off in the shower scene and Dennis incredulously sees it!

It's always sunny just gets better and better, absolutely unbelievable.

Seinfeld is always worth a rematch.

Louis cks show louie is a bit odd, but very funny as well.

I enjoy his stand up and his comedy but it was extremely heavy melodramatic in S2, far too serious for the bulk of the episodes. Struck me as a comedian trying to show his acting range instead of telling jokes.

I think I gave up when everyone else did - season 3, I think?
Worth going back, yeah? I was really only watching it for Troy & Abed and the Dean towards the end. The main guy and girl annoyed the hell outta me.

jaykhunter · 16-01-2014 01:47PM

If you don't like the comedy style then you probably won't 180 on it. Like over the years the crew get more unruly and break out into arguments a lot. But especially with the McPoyles and this season in particular, there's some genius episodes.

16-01-2014 05:53PM

did anyone else know/realise that Chrome puts a little speaker on a tab thats playing any audio. I just found it today, I thought it was mental.

Reganio 2 · 16-01-2014 06:16PM

Never really peeked in here but good to see people talking about always sunny in Philadelphia and arrested development. Took me a while to get into AR but when I did it was hilarious. Tobias must one of the strangest and greatest series in a series like this. Him sneaking around the house from the "blind" lawyer cracks me up.

Anyway just wondering if anyone has any good games or apps for the iPad only picked one up the other day so I'd trust your lads opinion than lads I don't know in the iPad forum. Willing to try most things have like 40 quid on my App Store account.

Plants Vs Zombies 2 is seriously addictive. You kinda have to use your brain in it now since they got rid of the garlic plant! Other than that I'd use Fotmob for the football scores, Football Live Stream for watching games (and wwe) and Spotify and TuneIn Radio for musics!

Deadlie · 16-01-2014 07:01PM

Oh, and there's this WWE app, I've heard mentioned once or twice. I'd tell you if it was any use, but I don't know how to download the damn thing.

Thanks very much. I need something for the scores and I only just downloaded spotify this morning it's awesome. Thanks again

Yeah I'd agree to a point. It has an unusual tone. But I like it it's different. I find it equal parts funny and sad. The tonight show episodes at the end of season 3 really get that balance right I feel.
