What's with the hate? Not getting Little Britain, the best comedy series in ages, to US? I suggest getting a copy and seeing the Andy jokes.

I highly recommend the DVD:

Smells faintly of rancid stilton.
Going by GAF Logic and TOS article 15 section 5. If I have never heard of it, it must suck.


I have never Heard of this show........

I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
I couldnt stop laughing whilst I wantched Little Britain, its so funny and much better than most American comedies. Lou and Andy, Vicy and Davyth Thomas are the best characters. Have you watched the comic relief episonde Chittagong?

little britan is over-rated, its just a sketch show which does have some good parts to it. The office and Monkey dust is where its at, theyre taking comedy places...

Just seen the first season on DVD and one episode from the second onboard BA. It's just so full of AMAZING and memorable characters:

The Fat Fighers lady, the stage hypnotist, Daffyd the only gay in the village, the small guy with the theme song, Andy and Lou, Vicky "yah but no but yeah but" Pollard, the bad transvestite Emily Howard, the teenager with the crush on the 90 year old lady, the former olympic athlete, the chap who used to have the kids TV show but now works in the hardware store, the former actor who lives with his (almost) dead sister, the Scottish hotel keeper, "eh eh eeeeh" Annie, the young boy whose mom forces him to be an actor, the innovative chap who tries to sell crap ideas to Cereal companies and show agencies - just to mention a few.

Office is fantastic! The UK version that is. Haven't seen the US version but I can imagine that it's horribly lame.

What's Monkey Dust?

"Monkey Dust is a cutting-edge comedy animation created by an award-winning team of writers and visualised by some of London's finest young animators.

The series is set in a permanent urban nightmare - a nocturnal world inhabited by the sad, the lonely and the emotionally crippled. Its satirical targets range across the whole spectrum of British society, from dysfunctional families to heartless government departments.

This is a world of mass murderers and divorced dads, of illegal aliens and wannabe terrorists, of perverts, tramps, hookers and liars. Monkey Dust is a show that brings out the loser in everybody."

Series 3 wasn't really up to the first 2, but the dvd of series 1 is well worth picking up. Some classic stuff on it.

The US version of The Office was surpisingly good. Not as good as original of course. Skip the pilot episode though, it was a remake of the original first episode.

I love Monkey Dust.

Little Britian is shit. Only saving grace is the Tom Baker VO and Giles from Buffy as the PM.

Seriously overrated. First few shows were neat but the gags were just repeated for the rest of the series.

I don't know how many times they've ripped the "I want that one!" joke.

The repitition is one of the main reasons that joke is funny! The way that guy always tells an elaborate backstory and seems to mention some great insight the retard in the wheelchair apparently had is classic.

Can't you just change your avatar back? Little Britain is an awesome show. The announcer is the best character as well.

"In Britian, Children are notoriously stupid and have to go to schools"

"The british justice system is the best in the world! Anyone who disagrees is either a gay, a woman or a mental"

"Following the success of video libraries, Book libraries are taking off!"
 
Little Britain was good when it first appeared, something fresh (well sorta a lot of the character including lou and andy originated in Rock Profile) but now every1 quotes it including ni's chav population loving it has resulted in me not liking it anymore. It seems like after 2 series its already run its course. It's going to end up like the fast show imo.

and yeah monkey dust is brilliant

Translation: it was cool when only I liked it, now that everyone quotes it, it sucks...You are the worst kind of elitist.

uhh no, when every1 around u keeps quoting it constantly things get old very quickly, jokes don't have the same impact when u hear them about 5 times a day you know? If u live in the uk (which u may well do) you know what its like, its just gotten bleh. I still watch it from time to time have series1 on dvd but I think it's a victim of its own success again just like the Fast Show was, sketch shows with repeting characters all go that way.

and ps I cannot look at your avatar without laughing. Love that film

I wasn't all that impressed by Monkey Dust, it seemed like the pseudo-dark kind of social satire that trenchcoat kids dig.

Little Brittain is pretty great though, and I really liked Chittagong's avatar.

Sorry to see it go.
