UK Comedy Cup - Group G

[Mellotron]

Group G Strong group in my opinion. Remember TWO go through, vote tactically if needed.

The Office

No real intro needed - surely everyone knows what this is about by now? The Christmas Special transcended pure comedy and delivered one of the best dramatic TV episodes of the past 15 years.


One Foot In The Grave

Very popular with certain NSCers, be interesting to see how far it gets. Old fella has bad things happen to him, then says his catchphrase.


Bottom

Again will have it's fans, probably a fair bit of support from The Young Ones followers.


Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

A relative minnow in this competition, but a very clever, funny comedy series - a spoof 80s horror series wrapped up within a mockumentary about it's creation.

I nominated OFITG but voting Bottom, miles better than The Young Ones for me. Never heard of the Garth Marenghi one.

Close call here between The Office and One Foot In The Grave. One Foot In The Grave was a very clever comedy with some great moments of surrealism, whereas The Office was the forerunner to a lot of the modern 'cringe' comedies, some of which are better than others. By a short head, I'll give it to The Office.

 

[Mellotron]

My word. One Foot In The Grave is LAST.

My word. One Foot In The Grave is LAST.

I don't believe it.........

No disrespect to the others, But The Office should win this group without to much problem. In fact I don't think any of the other sitcoms would fancy a head to head with The Office in the next round. Should be one of the favourites for the final and rightly so.

Saying that, also love Bottom, so in this group Bottom gets my vote, but if it was a head to head, The Office would get my vote.

 

[surrey jim]

Voted the office,

Never even heard of ''Garth Marenghi's Darkplace''

 

[Jesus Gul]

Voted Bottom seeing as Mr Jolly Lives Next Door not on the list nor Filthy Rich & Catflap.

 

[Badger]

The Office by MILES in this group.

 

[Mellotron]

...and to think I had people telling me One Foot...had to be in the competition because it was one of the favourites to win it! Not looking too clever at the moment, that...

 

[Brighton Breezy]

The Office is wonderfully directed - every detail is superb. Almost perfect.

It is obviously going through.

So I voted for Dark Place.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Had to vote for Dark Place.

Not a chance of it going through though.

 

[The Modfather]

Another vote for The Office. No surprise to see it strolling this one.

 

[Mellotron]

Any last votes?

I went to school with Garth Marenghi! We wrote sketches together in drama. Suffice is to say he is far funnier, more intelligent and successful than me.

One Foot...is about to be Both Feet Out Of The Competition.

One Foot...is about to be Both Feet Out Of The Competition.

By one vote....I feel a bit guilty now.
