UK Comedy Cup - Group A

[poidy]

The Young Ones

 

[Albion_Dave]

Another Young Ones vote here. Will be interesting to see who gets second. Hard to call.

 

[Nathan]

Spaced for me. if i had two votes would vote spaced and TYO.

 

[Badger]

The Thick of it, watched them all again recently, absolutely cracking satirical comedy.

I always thought this group would be a fight for second place behind The Young Ones and that seems to be the case.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

The Thick of It is brilliant.

But I voted for Ever Decreasing Circles. A master class of acting from Richard Briers.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Wow. If we lose SPACED I will be shocked. I honestly thought this would be a REAL FAVE.

 

[Mellotron]

Wow. If we lose SPACED I will be shocked. I honestly thought this would be a REAL FAVE.

I thought it would be second, but comfortably second.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

You know mellotron this was way to easy:

Fawlty Towers
Blackadder
Young Ones - they are all clearly way out in front. Think you shouldve given them byes into the enxt round to make it more interesting.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I don't think Spaced appeals to the over 40's - and most of NSC is over 40.

Shame though, it's a cult classic!

I'm over 40 and it's probably my favourite comedy of all time. Shame it's not as well known as others.

Just helps the slow build to the big clashes in the Quarter Finals onwards. All about the 2nd placed battles in each of these groups.

Final 4 groups will be added tonight, all finishing before the weekend's football.

Are you serious on the other thread that no one nominated or 2nded the IT Crowd!?

Yup. There was about 3-4 days where I did a load of comedy wars threads, plenty of talk about which shows should go into a comedy world cup, then a nominations thread that ran for a couple of days. IT Crowd was barely mentioned once.

Wow, too late for a wild card, special late entry?

Definitely. Always next year. And let's be realistic, it wouldn't stand any real chance of winning?...

Also missing out this year: Dad's Army, Allo Allo, Open All Hours, Rising Damp.

And yet Miranda got in.

Young Ones hasn't really stood the test of time

Loved Spaced, but do know what you mean by film study wankers, plus I recently tried to watch 'World's End' and find it hard to forgive anything that launched the careers that led to that pile of smelly stuff

Don't know EDC at all

Thick of it IS genius. wins by a mile for me.

I would have thought most spaced fans would be around the 40 mark now.

Where is the group with The Office and Garth Marenghi's Dark Place? Can't seem to find it.

 

[Mellotron]

Groups E to H will begin tonight.

Where is the group with The Office and Garth Marenghi's Dark Place? Can't seem to find it.

strange that you pair the two, as i have often thought mathew holness's brief appearance in the office was far funnier than the entire garth marenghis dark place.
