Or feel it is overrated award winning crap that people talk about because there is nothing else on tv?

I also hate that on freeview channels they are always showing re-runs of this crap episode after episode. Why don't they put 'Allo 'Allo, Red Dwarf, or freaking Bottom repeats on instead?

And does anyone else agree that David Williams has a face you could punch all day?
I can't believe the publicity this fugly, talentless, tosser gets these days.

yea I know. Dont like it. I can forgive a first series seeming a little formatted but they must have been so desperate to cling to mainstream status, and lucrative dvd sales they never evolved the show much. End result is it falls flat for everyone now. Can they really expect people to laugh at the same joke 100 times over? Or is it just plain laziness? No Character development or anything. They should have noticed what the league of gentlemen and even the fast show did with their shows. Come on guys were all still waiting for you to do something REALLY good with little Britain.................................... Untill then buy Boxsets of stuff that is still funny after first viewing instead.

Completely agree. I'd rather watch paint dry. And "The Office" - it's a mystery to me why anyone would watch that. I sat through the whole of the Comic Relief episode a couple of years back (at my brother's house) and it didn't raise so much as the glimmer of a smile. Why? : It isn't funny. Catherine Tate could be funny but isn't. Her humour just seems to consist of effing this and effing that, and any moron could do that. Actually plenty of morons DO do that!
Bring back Allo Allo, Vicar of Dibley and in the meantime get the writers working on some comedies worth watching.

It was completely, woefully unfunny on every single level. Making funny faces and putting on funny voices to make jokes that go on forever with no sense of purpose or comic timing is not funny on any level whatsoever. It was really going for it, though, and thought it was hilarious, which made it even worse. It was a programme aimed directly at viewers with no sense of wit. It was like the annoying kid at school who thought he could use humour to get poplularity and then he saw people not responding to his crap impressions and crap jokes, decided to prolong them till Doomsday, as if it was a case of no-one initially getting his humour, in a desperate bid to make people laugh.

If you think the same gags over and over and over is funny then its hilarious. Its funny the first time you see it, but the gags wear off so quickly its untrue. The only truly funny thing is them getting Tom Baker to swear so much.
Its just like the fast show, Catherine Tate, Bo Selecta, a few characters and the same tired old gag - every time.
Thats award winning comedy apparently - funny I always thoguth it was a load of old shite.

Subjective humour. Some very funny parts (not many) , but also some unfunny bits. It has turned into a catchphrase show and ran of of ideas after the first series. Should have quit while they were slightly ahead.

I don't think that its funny and I really don't know why so many people like it. I've tried to watch it but after about 5 minutes if that I have to turn over and watch something else, I agree with you it is NOT funny

HERE HERE!
I saw the first one and thought O.K.....Lets see where this is going.
But the rest are the same jokes repeated over and over
It's an Embarrasment to british comedy I think we should bury it next to Bob Monkhouse and never speak of it ever again

I`m Canadian and we get it here sometimes. The first episode was amusing because it was so odd, but from then on it was just repetitive.

I don't find it that funny either but so many things come into play when liking it. For example where your from? What sense of humor you have ? etc etc! i do sometimes find it funny but yes i think over rated big time.
