MDE and Sam Hyde makes stuff that makes this seem like amateur trash. USA is the only comedy I will watch because it is the ONLY funny comedy. Everything else is garbage and I would be embarrased to admit to even sniggering to Brit humor

The BBC used to be a lot more adventurous and brave when it came to comedy

The Office was created by two literally who comedians and the League of Gentlemen was a show made by fringe comedians

When they split the comedy budget between BBC2 and BBC3 it all went to shit with garbage like Two Packets of Lager and Crisps being commissioned and just a fuckton of really cheap shitty comedies coming along

I could never get into League of Gentlemen. I liked the atmosphere but I only found a few scenes funny.
Everything Chris Morris did is hilarious though.

>boycott because Hillary Briss makes "special stuff" that truggers some cannibal survivor

Yeah, League of Gentlemen would be off the air in fucking nanoseconds.

>>82487593

>>82487651
It's coming back for a special. I really think people would only have a problem with the cab driver, but even then it's barely offensive.

Keith Lemon is actual comedy kino

You should try Psychoville. Its the same dudes and is still a comedy with the same atmosphere but its more storyline focused.

I honestly can't wait to see how many retweets the outrage machine gets.

Sherlock is pretty solid evidence that Mark Gatiss is a rampaging SJW, and he was presumably fine with the League of Gentlemen's content.

The BBC still puts out things like:

I'm still not sure if Keith Lemon is intended to be a kind of subtle Tim and Eric-style anti-humour practical joke making fun of the intellect of the kinds of people who watch it, or if it really is the quintessential bottom-of-the-barrel inane shit.

I could see people getting offended by this but everyone treats her nicely except for jeff the gun guy
>boycott because Papalazarou kidnapping women for his new wives
I think they'd be more upset by the fact he's wearing black face and is a gypsy stereotype (he sells pegs)
>boycott because Tubbs is subservient to her husband/brother
That wouldn't bother anyone

Because Brits are naturally funny. Its their accent, teeth, general looks, funny small cars, driving cars on the wrong side and all those little things that makes them funny.

The UK hasn't produced a good comedy in close to a decade.

It's all shitty comedians saying how they'd piss on Thatcher's grave on panel shows (despite them not even out of nappies when she was kicked out) or safe box ticking comedy like Citizen Khan or Mrs Brown

>>82487993
US comedy is written by panels of normies who sterilise everything until it fits their lowest common denominator writing formulas.

UK comedy is written by individuals or very small teams of weirdos, so most of it is either genius or incomprehensible shit.
>>
>>82488060
This. /tv/ used to be full of individuals and weirdos and now it's flooded with capeshit loving normies
>>
>>82488060
You're thinking of UK comedy of the past though. It's pretty cookie cutter now
>>
Let's look at two different approaches to what is basically the same joke:
Limmy (broadcast originally in late 2012):

what planet are you on

how delusional are you "weirdos", nothing is made by you, you're too thick to realise you aren't smart enough to create

Gotta love progressive British comedy and chat shows like All round to Mrs Browns

>psycho woman throws appliances at her husband
>kills his pets
>throws a knife at him, hitting the wall
>clip of the husband "I haven't repaired the wall, it reminds me not to get her angry"
>*audience laughs*
>Mrs Brown awards the wife her 'Mammy of the week' award
>>
>>82488002
Is this like Shooting Stars, if Shooting Stars wasn't funny?
>>
>>82488160
Why would you even watch that? I can't even stomach the adverts.
>>
>>82488190

shooting stars wasnt funny though
>>
>>82488204

Fuck knows but it's the most popular comedy on British TV.

They're just recycling the formula they used for all the Dame Edna shows in the 90s.

>remember watching Dame Edna's Neighborhood watch
>the format of the show is that she'll visit a random persons house and tour their house making jokes on live TV
>one time she goes to inspect their toilet
>camera peers into the toilet
>it has an unflushed turd in it

I keked hard. Apparently Barry Humphries said he feels insanely guilty about this, even decades later.

Times where America improved on the original?

Shooting Stars was hilarious when I was 11.

It was also before Ulrika Johnson basically became known as a professional slut.
>>
>>82485642
It's about the budget
>>
>>82488152
His point is basically true though, British comedy tends to be written by individuals or duos and has short runs. There is tendency towards a certain level of inspired eccentricity if you think of people like Spike. American comedy is written by a committee and everyone wants syndication with 100 shows.

"My Family" was an experiment in doing American style comedy writing and the cast spent most of the run complaining about the quality of it.
>>
>>82487392
There was one show, set in a sort of club house thing with A level students. It was filmed in my town, in my college and they even did a shot in my house. I got paid £400 for like 2 hours work, which was for a 30 second clip. I just sat and played WoW (this was like 2008) and ate the left over catering food they gave us.
>>
>>82487921
Americans are as well. They have worse teeth health than Brits, 2/3rd of them are overweight, they drive big cars when they're small and they get buttmad over little things like French Fries.

And W1A had an episode where they were talking about a weathercaster they wanted to tout as a symbol of diversity shaving his beard, because it would make him seem less ethnic.
>>
>>82485642
because you watch only english language shit and american "humor" is beyond retarded so it's not very difficult to top it?

I think they both flew under the radar a bit. They got the whole non committal agreeing during meetings down to a T. All the 'Yeah, no exactly'', so if things went right the people present could claim part credit, but if it went wrong they could distance themselves.
