Daily reminder : Monty Python is not that funny.

>>83355899
There's a joke every 20 seconds, regardless of the quality of the joke if you are bombarded you are helpless.

The Inbetweeners might be formulaic and predictable but it still never fails to make me smile. The movies are especially great, even though the whole arc where Will gets that super hot girlfriend is incredibly far-fetched.

Someone name a better commedy movie than
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, I'll wait.

Nah what Little Britain suffered from, was every single sketch with a character being literally the same joke. Andy gets out of his wheelchair and appears far smarter than Lou thinks. Anne I think her name was starts off well behaved and then descends into autistic screeching. The computer says no woman is unhelpful and relies deadpan "computer says no". Daffyth is in a village entirely populated by homosexuals, but he's in over the top denial about it. The transvestite goes to great pains to let everyone know she's a lady despite no-one ever calling him out on it. Fat fighters should eat dust, Tom fucking Baker! he was Doctor Who remember! muddles his lines as narrator.

Some of them are mildly amusing the first time, but its literally the same punchline repeated for however many series it got in the end. 5 maybe?

If you want true British dark comedy, you just have to look at British politics. Corrupt morons who manage to swindle the retarded population constantly and without fail.

The darkness is that the general population gets screwed heavily. "Haha, looks like everyone's starving next year!"

I like it. America would do better to stop trying so hard to not be cheesy garbage.

See the thing of MPFC is that it was silly. The whole Ministry of Funny Walks worked on the subversion of expectation. You take something strict and serious and not at all compatible with levity, like a fussy upper class British gentleman working for a branch of her Majesty's government, and juxtapose it with them walking around
Iike twats, taking it all very seriously. While you burger eaters have the acting like twats thing down pat, but you're a country that elected 2 bushes and a trump. You don't have anything serious or worth while to contrast with the mongolism present in your society. You see so!one doing a silly walk, and you think "What's funny about that? We all act like retards, why is this unexpected?"

It got old when every comedy was over the top non-sequitur british wank, even the american ones. Then tastes changed and that style of comedy was not only overplayed, but also stopped being culturally relevant. There also hasn't been a team of comics that can pull it off in years because that kind of comedy skips a generation.
