UK Comedy Cup 2014 - Round of 16 ROUNDUP

[Mellotron]

This round sorted the wheat from the chaff, the frontrunners from the also rans, the Ulloas from the Obikas, if you will.

I think we're down to the genuine contenders now:

Summary - As expected, a lot of fairly comfortable home wins. The closest tie saw Yes, Minister put up a brave fight but ultimately succumb to The Young Ones. Only Fools & Horses has now come to the party points-wise, with Blackadder and Fawlty Towers once again in the Top 3 points scorers. Black Books looked rather out of their depth in such esteemed company.

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

This is where the tournament will take off.

 

[Mowgli37]

Some potentially cracking ties in there, I fear for The Young Ones though

 

[Badger]

It's just the BIG BOYS in the pot now.

I'm very disappointed that Red Dwarf took quite such a trouncing from Fawlty Towers, I was expecting more of a fight, DAMN YOU series 7 and 8, DAMN YOU.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Not a single upset. Have to question the underdogs' team selections.

Magic of the cup...

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

I think the big boys will be hoping for TYOs, Porridge or Father Ted for an 'easy' route to the semi.

A Partridge v Office quarter final would be the first television pick you'd have to think. ITV would be rubbing their mits together at the thought of getting that tie.

 

[Badger]

Is the draw being screened live?

 

[Grombleton]

It's just the BIG BOYS in the pot now.

I'm very disappointed that Red Dwarf took quite such a trouncing from Fawlty Towers, I was expecting more of a fight, DAMN YOU series 7 and 8, DAMN YOU.

I'm still going to sleep each night hoping that, when i wake up, they won't have happened and it was all a dream.

 

[Mowgli37]

My pencil is poised over the wall chart in anticipation...

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

What about Psychoville?

 

[The Modfather]

I fear for The Young Ones though

Sadly, so do I. My personal favourite and would love to see it win, but expect Blackadder to come out on top.

This is where gets funny
