The Radio Times Comedy of the Century

[Buzzer]

...is Mrs Brown's Boys. It beat Black Books, Green Wing, IT Crowd, The Office, Peep Show, Inbetweeners et al to get top spot.

And Miranda was 8th. I don't want to sound snobby but I've never met a single person who thinks Mrs Brown's Boys funny. Mind you, I don't think I know anyone who gets the Radio Times still either.

 

[Scampi]

I think that tells you all you need to know about the sort of people who still buy the radio times

 

[studio150]

No Faulty Towers Porridge Dads Army only Fools and Horses to name just a few that are far better than any in the Radio Times list. Thats probably why they limited it to 21st century only


Miranda should have been disqualified given thats it not a comedy given that its devoid of a e en a single funny joke.

Well the 21st Century has been a bit short on laughs to be fair.

This is what's wrong with "democracy" .....people are stupid!

I despair of people that vote for this utter shite.

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis; you can't trust people.

Phoenix Nights only 16th?! They're having a laugh.

No Alan Patridge, No Ali G, No Borat either.

 

[Easy 10]

I don't think anyone under the age of 75 buys the Radio Times. Elderly people struggle with comedy, they probably didn't really understand the question.

.

I don't think they did - that's why it's only 16th (mind you, I didn't rate Phoenix Nights either)

The only person I know who gets the RT is my mum ... and she's 86

 

[halbpro]

Given it's 21st century only, I would probably say Black Books. Maybe Green Wing.

My step-dad loves Mrs. Brown's Boys. I've watched it a few times and it's alright I guess? Never great, and the more slapstick stuff tends to be a big miss for me, but the scenes where they're just talking in the kitchen do work sometimes.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Royle Family? I believe that was still going post 2000? Early Doors?

That's true about The Radio Times I suppose. I don't know anyone who gets it anymore. As for Phoenix nights though....................:bow down:

There's some utter turd in that list but the worst seems to have risen to the top.

Mind you, if the public were allowed to vote on everything we'd have ended up with Harry Redknapp as England manager and an unelected witch as PM.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I have never seen Mrs Brown's boys so I can't really comment.
I have naturally assumed that it is utter turd based purely on hearsay and the general look of the programme.

My step-mum likes it though.

Surely even old people don't find Mrs Brown's Boys funny?

 

[Easy 10]

Old people do seem to find "old people" being funny, funny. If you get what I mean.

My old nan used to piss herself laughing at Last of the Summer Wine for goodness sake. Mind you, she was incontinent so maybe that's not saying much.

Mrs. P loves it. Concept is a bit odd, Mrs. Brown is played by a man, the wife of said man appears in it as well - as his sister I believe.

Green Wing for me!
