Friends?!? Friends?!!?


For me, the UK office. I know it's supposed to be the best comedy ever made, but the only time I LOL hysterically was when Brent said: "there's a rape upstairs."

For me it would be Ren and Stimpy, and shows like that. Though it was made for adults, so of course I wouldn't be into it back when I was a kid. Also shows like Bobobo Bobobobo, which were just too silly to watch.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

The Fast Show

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I have very little patience for TV now. But I will say I felt that The Simpsons just dragged on and on.

Not hate, so much as not particularly funny. In my opinion, of course.

I thought the episode where they parodied Isaac Hayes' conversion to Scientology and sudden departure from the show was pretty hilarious.

And the one where they parodied the 2004 elections as being between a douche and a shit sandwich. My parents voted for Mickey Mouse that year. In my school's mock election, they just had a ballot with a checkbox next to Kerry and Bush's name. I physically wrote in "Wonder Woman" and made my own checkbox and checked it.

The Big Bang Theory, I know it's popular but I hate it.

If there was a section on shows that were supposed to be serious but turned out to be funny I'd have to put down The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
