Worst TV "comedy" ever?

[Westdene Seagull]

I am amazed that so many of NSC's finest failed to 'get' Miranda... it was comedy genius.

There was something to 'get' with a fat ugly bird constantly falling over ? Blimey.

Miranda, which if this goes to a poll will actually win a deserved comedy award.

I always wonder with these non funny comedies if anyone would actually laugh if the laughing soundtrack was not played, or the studio audience hadn't been told and made to laugh.

Also another vote for citizen Khan
Vicious
Bad Education
Mrs Browns boys

 

[Brighton Ark]

Tried to get into 'Car Share' with Peter Kay. Didn't laugh once so stopped watching.

 

[Normal Rob]

May I also nominate Allo Allo

Mooost certainly nit!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Going back a bit, but The Liver Birds was complete non-comedy tosh rescued only by the norks of Nerys Hughes.

Comedian-wise, how the hell has Lenny Henry managed to get by for forty years on his one "I'm from Dood-lay" routine? And Jimmy Cricket can do one!

 

[Withdean11]

I thought Friends was fantastic..

 

[Man of Harveys]

I have never met a single person who likes Mrs Browns Boys, so who are these braindead c*nts keep watching it to the point it churns out series after series and has its own movie ffs?

Old people. I think the main attraction for them is that it features a man who's not really a woman dressed up as a woman.

Without wishing to derail the thread I think that's a tad harsh. A couple of recent ones, albeit not on BBC1, Touchstone 42 and Cradle to the Grave I thought were very good.

Agreed that Touchstone 42 has been entertaining - but for every one of those there's a 'Some Girls'...their attempt at an all-girl Inbetweeners that is about as funny as a terminal illness.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Schindlers list. I didn't laugh once.

You nicked that off Ricky Gervais

 

[BigGully]

The Goodies

 

[pastafarian]

On The Buses
Mrs Brown Boys
Cuffs

Throwing my hat in the ring .... chalk up another for Miranda and also The green green grass

Spin-offs from successful comedies generally are. The only one which springs to mind to buck that trend is Frasier.

I'm sure there must be others.

I'm afraid I found Frasier to be unspeakably awful too, but then I didn't like the orginal either. I'm not saying that the series was bad per se, more a case of me not appreciating the American sense of humour I guess. I had similar problems with Cheers, and Friends, both phemomenal successes, but just not for me.

I feel that I have to stick up for Mirana Hart too, who I find an absolute delight, and a very funny lady.

I don't think there's a cultural (rather than a political or football) post I could feel more opposed to (with the exception of agreeing Friends is excrutiating).

Frasier was class. Miranda is as funny as... Miranda (I can't think of another cultural nadir).

Don't get narked just because I haven't given you back your dresses yet. They're mine now I tell you!!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Really suprised when people put the mainstream ones like Friends, Fraser etc as their worst EVER.

Sure, it may be that everyone else LOVED them and you weren't keen meaning your defiance was a statement against the masses, but I'd be amazed if you actually though they were the WORST comedy EVER.

Or maybe I'm overthinking it

I remember my friend making me watch Two and Half men and not even a smirk arriving at any point but again, there must be something I've seen which actually offended me with it's crapness.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Ah! It's come to me.

Last of the Summer Wine. I think the fact it was on a Sunday at dinner time was kind of the ultimate "Yes, that's right, your weekend is over and it's Monday tomorrow".

But then, there may have been one time I smirked at someone falling into a cow pat or something.....

 

[Thimble Keegan]

Not a sitcom but surprised that nobody has mentioned Celebrity Juice yet. Shite tv made for braindead bellends.

I am with you on this as everything Leigh Francis does is complete toilet...The bloke is a total bell-end.

The same goes for James Corden too as he is an absolute tool...He never has been and never will be funny.

Albion & England forever.
