Ironically a funnier joke than anything James Corden has ever said.

? Nothing random about it. Shows that were nominated and seconded qualified, and I did this in the order of people posting.

Like qualifying for major tournaments, it’s never going to be perfectly fair. Even with your idea, I would be hounded for missing out certain people’s favourites from the long list. Also, I don’t want too much voting to happen at this point, as this will give too clearly a final intention as...

Everybody!

Indeed - I suspect this will count against it and it will struggle. Shearsmith & Pemberton are seasoned comedy actors and most episodes will have some elements of comedy, so I'm ok with it qualifying.

I refuse to bow to any FIFA-esque calls for an expanded 48 show tournament. I will consider the nomination process for future tournaments. I did consider suggesting qualification would require 3 nominations per comedy, rather than 2, but the worry is either that could take a long time to get...

STOP NOMINATING! The 32 have qualified. They are as follows; Spaced Peep Show The League of Gentlemen Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights The Royle Family Early Doors The Office Fawlty Towers Father Ted The Young Ones Drop The Dead Donkey The Detectorists This Country The Fast Show Breeders Inside...

TBF Barley and Boosh have QUALIFIED.

Oi I can ruin your tournament if you ruin mine.

Part of the reason I wanted to rerun this. Already a lot different. Interesting to see which shows endure, and which fade from memory.

A Scotsman invented this rule, I fancy...

UK Comedy Cup, sorry. Might do a separate US one after this one wraps up. Please replace Curb and Seinfeld with 2 other nominations. I'm Alan Partridge has also already qualified so you may nominate 3 more UK comedies, if you wish.

16 qualified. 16 spots left. Some BIG hitters still not in there yet.

Detectorists has already gathered the requisite nominations, you may nominate one more.

I'll start Spaced Black Books Big Train Peep Show The League of Gentlemen (now wishing I'd gone for People Just Do Nothing and This Country, please someone get these in!)

UK Comedy Cup 2023 - Nominations Thread Attempted this back in 2014 but never finished it, and to stop it being a regret I take to my grave I am resurrecting this competition now (well, following completion of @stewart12 's wonderful Albion Fantasy World Cup anyway). 9 years on and with many...

This thread has inspired me to want more similar threads as we move into the long, dark winter month. I may resurrect the UK Comedy Cup tournament (which I abandoned at the Semi Final stage 9 years ago, in disgrace), or set up something new...

Maybe he'll be back with us to wind down the final years of his career at that point.

Glad it's not a minute's silence as no doubt some Tunnock ****s would ruin it by chanting about Caramel bars during.

Shame that we can't include NIreland - the World Cup deserves an unbelievable 5 minute Paddy McCourt cameo. Aaron Hughes also.
