Which TV programmes make you laugh out loud?

Mala591 · Post by **Mala591** » Fri Feb 10, 2017 11:50 pm

Family Guy (obviously)
Rising Damp
On The Buses
Mrs Brown's Boys
Most of the Carry on films

Quite like 'Have I got news for you' when it goes off script.

The wedding speech forfeit on Impractical Jokers was absolutely hilarious.

Mrs Browns Boys is about as funny as toothache.

Indeed. Have you noticed that the audience only seems to laugh when the main character uses the f word?

Donald Glover's 'Atlanta' is a work of genius. I'd highly recommend it. It's not laugh out loud comedy, but it's far more subtle and far smarter than most comedy out there. It's the best comedy series I've watched in years. IIRC, his producers have given him a HBO-style 'do what you want' contract on the back of just one season of Atlanta.

mrs browns boys and impractical jokers ? Mmmmm, let me just allow those titles to sink in.

Vaccuous ****, the impractical jokers would die instantly if I had any say in the matter. Tiresome , irritating bores.

Browns boys is a programme for half wits.... in my opinion .

Spiral · Post by **Spiral** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 12:26 am

You overuse the word vacuous. Find another adjective.

Come to think, is there anything in life which brings you joy? You come across as the sort of person who would benefit greatly from jumping off the planet. I utterly detest Mrs.BB, but I'm able to refrain from belittling those who enjoy watching it.

idiot, well...i like the word. anyway, i make no excuses for slating fans of mrs browns boys, it is a series for imbeciles.

you dont overuse your brain spiral, always seeking in vain some witty riposte that never arrives.

Peep Show.
Phoenix Nights
Panel shows always depend on who's on - anything with Ross Noble, Tony Law, Bob Mortimer works for me - but would I Lie to You works well because Mack and Mitchell work so well together.

once saw max bygraves hosting family fortunes, some berk answered "Turkey" to virtually all the jackpot questions, ...now that made me laugh.

You have me all wrong. I never try to be witty, I always try to be condescending.

You one of those 'I crave the last word' folks? I'm happy to cede the final word in this **** argument on the proviso that you accept that you have the fervour and zeal of a fascist.

You literally said people should die for making a comedy show you dislike. You can f.uck right off and reconsider what you're actually doing when you submit a post on this forum because it seems to me like you're using your perceived 'enlightenment' on UpTheClarets as an emotional crutch. That ain't even a projection, pal, because I'm self-aware enough to know that I act like a knob on here from time to time, but I also know that I'm above nobody, and nobody is beneath me.

. can only remember laughing out loud at The Invetweeners, Only Fools and Horses and The Simpsons.

Edit - he remembers laughing out loud at Jackass (though it might have been part of one of the films they brought out - when someone released a giant hand that hit someone carrying a tray of drinks).

I've been known to laugh out loud on numerous occasions over the years, starting with Charlie Drake on black and white TV when I was about 9.
At the mo I'm laughing out loud at Tom Wrigglesworth on Radio 4 (that's not TV). Very, very funny.

Would I Lie to you is brilliant because the format is perfect.

It can't not work.

Peep Show was lol crude on numerous occasions.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 4:07 pm

I've been watching Impractical Jokers for a few years now. Pretty much since it first started airing on Comedy Central. There's been 2 UK versions, but both just didn't seem to do it for me. The main American one though can be hilarious in parts, it just depends on the scene.

One of the funniest is when Murr had his tongue anaesthetised. So funny.

Yeah I like 'Would I Lie to you' as well. You can't beat a bit of slapstick humour now and again!

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 4:34 pm

I'm Alan Partridge - comedy gold.

The Inbetweeners - schoolboy humour but still funny.

There are plenty comedy programmes that provide the a odd bit of humour, but not many that really make you laugh out loud.

Mrs Brown's boys is one hat I just find irritating and don't get. I have to turn it off.

50 shades of Grey · Post by **50 shades of Grey** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 4:44 pm

Call me a bit predicable, but nothing is as funny as Fawlty Towers. Just hilarious, it never ages.

''Well may I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain..."

oh, and any interview with wenger, Karanker or coyle.

with hindsight, it was wrong of me to criticise other peoples favourites. It is all subjective and I was unecessarily rude. I apologise.
