Peep show was on Channel 4, a commercial channel in the UK, not on the BBC. That said, the BBC do turn out some great comedy, they can take risks that a commercial channel cannot.

>BBC has a ton of money to spend so can make some decent series at times.
Gee what a surprise.

Channel 4 is part TV licence funded

Apart from family guy

British comedy has sucked shit for at least 10 years. Execs know that putting on garbage panel shows is easier and cheaper than financing original content. The Avalon talent agency has a monopoly on British standup and ensures there is a glass ceiling.

Family Guy sucks ass dude

"Comedy" in this country is utter, vulgar trash. The only good thing I know that was broadcast on the BBC is Fawlty Towers. Even Monty Python was never funny.

It was, not anymore. I thought that too, but it's fully self funded now. Hence more channels E4, more 4, 4 seven, +1 and 4od, to maximize advertising revenue.

>Watching TV

peep show is channel 4, they do get some government funding but nothing like the BBC, channel 4 has advertisements

mr. bean and john cleese are funny

guess I should read first

Didn't channel 4 do the inbetweeners too?

British comedy is a MI5 jewnonce psyop to make the public neurotic and americans get wowed because they're fucking chowderheads

The BBC used to make great comedies right up until around the time Blair went out of government. Nowadays its all utter shite and remakes. Even Only Fools and Horses is getting remade and "brought into the 21st century" by replacing Del and Rodney with two nigger street traders.

>State sponsored (((comedy)))

Fuck off , mudslime

What are your favourite comedy programmes/performers? (Genuine question)

You don't like Blackadder, Peep Show, Black Books or the League of Gentlemen?

Because you're all horse faced pompus twits, with bad teeth, which is funny.

Most US TV shows are incredibly lewd and are basically giant advertisements, all while pushing degenerate cultural mores.

Government-funded, BBC programming is smart and funny and often subverts the dominant liberal-capitalist paradigms.

Dont forget every British show now has to have an obligatory dikey black chick as the supporting character or a Muslim man.

british humor is pretty good.

Mitchell and webb are funny as fuck, and monty python is great.

>Even Monty Python was never funny.
heresy

No worries brother!

Blackadder is badly and childishly written formulaic tripe which makes a mockery of history. Richard Curtis and Ben Elton are die-hard socialists, so that it is really no surprise they should portray and caricature everything about the Britain of the past as bad. The only good thing about it is Rowan Atkinson's acting and delivery of his lines.

I care for the last three even less. I don't see the appeal in Peep Show, for example. It's simply dreary, vulgar rubbish.

I liked Fawlty Towers, which has its roots in classic farce. I mostly get my comedy from old books. There is nothing today which can compare with Jonson, Goldsmith, Sheridan, Austen, Fielding, Wilde, and all the other classics of English literature. Unfortunately, people today simply do not know any better.

Yes, Channel 4 do some great comedy programmes.

Fuck off, British comedy has gone down the shitter. Its full of over-simplified, PC, multi-culti bullshit.

Yank TV shows are way way way better. HBO have routinely hit the ball out of the park with shit like Band of Brothers. Netflix are greenlighting 20% amazing shows, to offset the 80% of bullshit they churn out.

What do we do? Downtown fucking Abbey...posh people being posh. Horsecocks. Even modern comedies like IT Crowd was just made for people to feel uppity about normies.

>have you turned it off and on again?

LOL LAFFS.

> I don't see the appeal in Peep Show, for example. It's simply dreary, vulgar rubbish.

It is very dreary. I like the first-person camera shots where they show people making disgusted/annoyed/passive faces at the main characters, as well as the close up shots of all of the characters that make them look hideous. I could see how it'd rub someone the wrong way though.

Father Ted is a really good one, and for a show about three priests it's not really anti-catholic at all.

Spaced is great, I don't think Pegg ever did anything better. The way they portray the inner worlds/mental states of the characters is unparalleled afaik

There are so many good British comedies and so few good American ones.

what in the everliving fuck are those black disc things next to the sausages?

Don't confuse british TV of decades ago with shit.

If Monty Python tried to release this in 2017 they'd be banned and possibly prosecuted: youtube.com/watch?v=sFBOQzSk14c

Ok, I see you have more of a classical taste.

Never liked black books. But peep show is a favorite.

black pudding, it's congealed pig's blood and totally haram

Black pudding bud. Awaiting hiiiighlarious references to blood.

Its really nice, sort of like a sweeter tangier sausage, but you can only eat a few bits. I mean in like a year, I've probably had 8 slices of black pudding total, you just get a hankering for it now and again.

Why are you always on about women, Stan?

>The only good thing about it is Rowan Atkinson's acting and delivery of his lines.

Monty python is fucking great.

Based.

youtube.com/watch?v=uvPbj9NX0zc

holy shit that's the most haram thing i've ever heard...

well done, lads.

You're going to love this my American brother..... That is called Black pudding....it's made from pigs blood, spices and bread. Sounds gross, but it tastes great! Puts hairs on yr chest!!

Firing squad now

>T.V.
go kys nigger

Never thought about it like that. The most haram part of a pig, and we make food out of it. Legendary.

A breakfast without pig products just isn't right..its basically vegetables on toast. Pointless as fuck.

You should have a look at how its made. We take the blood from a freshly slaughtered pig, while its still body temperature warm and then you add barley and oats plus spices to it until it all congeals and can be stuffed into the pigs intestines which make the casings.

Rik!!! My Sis met him once, lovely guy, and total legend! Sad that he died too soon.

I'm still wondering why the UK is a useless puppet state of the US desu. But focus on a tree in a forest of them cuck

LMAO WHAT A FUCKING UGLY FAGGOT HAHA KILL IT WITH FIRE

It's shown on TV here often. Not banned, far from it. It was banned briefly when it was first released, in some towns and cities as it was thought to break anti blasphemy laws.
