Little Britain Usa Episode 6 (Specifically)
November 8, 2008 at 6:54 pm
I love Little Britain. I've just watched episode 6 on BBC I player, as I missed it last night. I was surprised to see a guest appearance of someone on this forum. I'm not naming any names but suffice to say they've lost a few stone since appearing. (Clue: he appears in the astronaut scene).

I like A Bit Of Fry and Laurie when it comes to sketch shows. Its by far my favourite sketch show. I also Like Alexei Sayle's Stuff. That Mitchell and Webb Look and Monty Python (I think the best parts of Monty Python are with John Cleese).
Some of my favourite Sitcoms are: Bottom, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, The Young Ones, Fawlty Towers, Mr Bean (not the cartoon) and Peep Show.
Favourite Cartoon Sitcoms are: South Park, Family guy, Futurama and The Simpsons.
EDIT: Oh and I think Men Behaving Badly is a brilliant sitcom.

Yes its awesome. Me and my bro have got the first series on DVD and watched it all and the extras. And we've seen like 2 or 3 episodes from the 2nd series on TV too.

I loved League of Gentlemen. Did we ever find out what was the source of that 'meat'?

Little Britain can be funny. But I think when you compare it to something like 'A Bit of Fry and Laurie', not only is Little Britain (in my opinion) no where near as funny as ABOFAL, its not as witty, intelligent, interesting, and not as damn repetitive! ABOFOL only has a few regular characters even! And its a sketch show! Most of the characters in every single episode are totally new! And there are four serious of it.
Very creative, very witty, very intelligent, not simplistic or repetitive, and most of all very funny
Not to mention the fact that Hugh Laurie performs brilliant comical and musical songs across the series' and he can play the Piano, the guitar, the drums, the saxophone and the harmonica! And of course he's an amazing actor and stars as House in the TV Drama series 'House'. He's a very talented genius. And he's very funny!
And Stephen Fry of course is an amazingly witty and funny intellectual genius and writer with amazingly knowledge of proper grammar. He's brilliant with words. And he's brilliant on QI as well.
'A Bit of Fry and Laurie' is definitely by far my sketch show ever by a huge margin and I'm starting to think its my favourite comedy show ever. But if not its at least on par with the sitcoms: 'Bottom', 'Blackadder' and 'Red Dwarf' - for me.
I've said enough about 'A Bit of Fry and Laurie' I think!!!
Anyway, thats what I think. I have a passion for British comedy shows. A lot of my favourite comedy movies and comedy cartoon sitcoms are American though, rather than British.
And with stand up comedy it totally varies for me. But I'd say Ross noble is tops for me. Probably along side George Carlin, Lewis Black, Lee Evans and Bill Hicks. But there are others.
