Worst Comedy or Sit-Com (UK)?

Question

After watching a steady stream of effluant pouring out of my TV describing itself as "comedy", I am losing all hope of ever watching anything remotely funny (except QI and Family Guy/The Simpsons.

To add insult to considerable injury, I was wondering how many people feel the same about UK comedy and situation comedies, and would like you to name the very worst ones that you have seen.

Cheers! (that means thank you. Not the US sit com)

I agree with you Bunny. I feel suicidal watching BBC3 on regular occassions, especially during tittybangbang!

I remember watching Benny Hill, Mind Your Langauge et al, and thinking: Can death be all that bad, when this is the alternative?.

Answer 1

I agree, BBC three is the worst (apart from two pints). Have you seen three non blondes, good grief!! Awful!!!

x x x

EDIT:- Oh god, Thats the worst! I cant cope!!!!

I mean, i dont understand who finds this funny!!?

I LOVE family guy! Pure Genius!!! I like QI too! You must have a wicked sense of humour, just like moi!! x

Answer 2

The I.T. Crowd was an embarrassment
and as for Benny Hill thats so old it's antique thats why it's so bad
the first few series of My Family was ok but now it's dreadful too
what ever happened to good comedy like Ab Fab, Alias Smith & Jones, Not the 9 O'Clock news etc. We need something new.
I enjoyed The Royle Family and Shameless but you can only take those series so far then they have to end.
I watch some US comedies like That 70's Show and channel hop for my favourite stand up comedians but yea you're right British Comedy seems to be at an all time low.

Answer 3

The worst UK sitcom ever was Whoops Mrs Rothchild Your Husband's An Unconvicted Paedophile.

The second series Oh Mrs Rothchild Your Brother Is A Lax Rastafarian wasn't commissioned because the script had little new to offer that Porridge and its sequel Going Straight hadn't already covered.

Answer 4

Well, I'm from the US, and I have to say that I've seen a lot of British comedies that I like. Of all of them, I guess the one I would say that I like the least is "The Benny Hill Show". There are some parts of it I find kind of funny, but just how many times can you watch a guy look up women's skirts and get kicked in the crotch?

Answer 5

Have found over the years that sit coms on telly generally consist of middle or upper middle class situations with a notable few exceptions.

Worst comedies are the ones written by Carla Lane. = Bless this House, Bread, Liver Birds to name a few

Answer 6

Yeah that's slightly demanding at instances it meant to be diffused so its suggestive to the objective audience, yet your ideal that's demanding. I keep in mind a comedian strip French & Saunders did with canned laughter so humorous, and thats yet one greater reason i enjoyed the Royale family contributors because it became into the only comedy to no longer be filmed infront of an objective audience or had canned laughter further.

Answer 7

Usually anything made for the BBC.

Can't remember what it was called had Amanda Holden & Jamie Theakston in it.
Yeah just any BBC apart from back in the day when it was Men Behaving Badly and 1 Foot In The Grave.

Answer 8

I loved Mind your Language, Love thy Neighbour and all the good ol uns, but some mothers do av em and the one with Mrs Bouquet pronounced Bucket did my head in even as a kid

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry reminiscing

Answer 9

I gave up TV about 12 months ago. I watch DVDs, i rent them from Tesco DVD, 3 at a time and watch them when i want.

Best thing i ever did, TV is dreadful at the moment.

Answer 10

Worst comedy drama I've ever seen is on Sky One, and I think its old. (I hope to God, its old.) Mile High? About air stewardesses. Stars one of the male twins from Hollyoaks: the one who is marrying Tina. Absolutely dreadful.
