UK Comedy Cup - Group A

[Mellotron]

Right, let's get stuck in. Will give everyone a few days to vote. One vote per group, choose wisely.

TWO comedies go through from each group, so think before you vote.

Group A


The Young Ones

A pre-match friendly vs Men Behaving Badly showed TYO's strength of fanbase. Could go far.


Spaced

A cult favourite, and the catapult for Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's careers. Very rewatchable. Would hope to make it through the group.


The Thick Of It

Political comedy with a FAIR bit of swearing. Has helped bring certain phrases into common parlance. Can't repeat them.


Ever Decreasing Circles

A late push for a few "oldies" saw this sneak in. Unfancied? Hard to tell...
​

Please feel free to post quotes/videos to support your chosen comedy.

 

[Braders]

Easily the young ones from this lot not even close.

 

[Mellotron]

The Young Ones should walk it, with Spaced edging out The Thick Of It, would be my prediction, but EDC is an unknown quantity...

 

[The Modfather]

The Young Ones should walk, not just this group, but the whole competition

 

[Stoo82]

The Thick of It for me!

 

[Mellotron]

The Young Ones should walk, not just this group, but the whole competition

I think Fawlty Towers, Only Fools & Horses, The Office and Blackadder might have something to say about that...

 

[Mowgli37]

TYO for me

 

[Trelford Mills Guide Dog]

'Ever Decreasing Circles' - despite being filmed in the mighty Billingshurst - was an absolute pile of horse Shi*e.

 

[Beach Hut]

Thick Of It will win by a tsunami of piss, Malcolm Tucker is the greatest ******* ever.

The Young Ones should walk, not just this group, but the whole competition

When the Young Ones was first on I thought it was the funniest thing ever. Watch it now and it's embarrassing. Spaced is for wankers who did film studies at some fourth-rate university. Never seen EDC.

If the Thick of It isn't pure genius it will do as a placeholder until pure genius can get here.

It's a shame some people lose their sense of humour with age
Why is the Young Ones now embarrassing?

 

[brakespear]

Spaced, out of a poor group.

 

[Mellotron]

Cracking race for second, but most EDC fans are probably tucked up in bed now to be fair. Watch it storm up in votes around 6am tomorrow. Perhaps.
