I am dissapointed that I live in a nation of such dumb fuckwits. I now officially hate Little Britain. I don't know how people can find it funny, it's fucking awful.
I understand that Peep Show wasn't even nominated, which is unbelievable (Gervais couldn't believe it either) and Extras should have done a clean sweep.
What has this nation come to?

It's good enough that the non-mainstream comedies are being made and aired, they don't need British Comedy Awards. What we do need is for Garth Marenghi to be released on DVD.

I don't really watch comedy TV any more, aside from Don't Watch That, Watch This every now and then. Little Britain is fucking dreadful.

All classic fucking lines. Pure comedy gold. I love catchphrase comedy. It means that I don't have to think while i am watching it. Just wait for the catchphrase and laugh.

We need more stand up on telly. I've really been enjoying Jack Dee at the Apollo.
My mum in-law loves Little Britain. She loves all of the sick stuff too, yet... I bet if I farted in her living room, I would never be allowed back. She's nearly 60.
She MUST only like it because she wants to be fasionable. It makes me sick.
'Shame because George Doors from Shooting Stars was funny.

I like smart humour like The Thick of It and Brasseye, (not Rory smug bastard Bremner and his two ageing commie mates) but I also like "dumb" humour like Little Britain. What I would really like though, is for Bernard Manning to get his own show. Now that's what I call funn-neeee!

i don't know about extras, it felt really flat and showy. and while i can just about handle david brent putting his foot in his mouth with the black guy in the office (the black man's cock joke), seeing him do it again with minority after minority in extras makes me feel a bit sick. partly because his character in extras is really hard to read... he's not as much of a loser as brent, and something doesn't quite work with his character.... and his sidekick is the definition of annoying.
gervais's blatant careerism and dvd-pushing irks me too.
his peep show big up was welcome.. even though robert webb doing the mcdonalds ads earlier this year was a horrible shock. i can just about forgive him though, as it fits nicely into his peep show alter-ego.
oh yeah! look at this
The Mitchell and Webb Situation
last peep show tonight :(

I've watched three episodes of Peep Show and found it extremely dull and unfunny.

i probably like it a bit *too* much, so to make up for this imbalance you're the poor sod who doesn't like it all.

But where can he go now? I liked Extras. He has to work around the fact that he's massive now. Comedy doesn't exist in a bubble, and playing a loser wannabe actor is a nice touch for somone so famous. Leave him alone, he's taken us out of the surreal, PC comedy of the 90's.

yeah i suppose i'm being a bit hyper-critical, but only because the office was so ruddy brilliant.
it's peter kay that i should be verbally abusing.. max and paddy was the most shockingly bad thing i've ever seen. and i really liked his stuff a few years ago

Yeah, Max and Paddy was dissapointing to say the least. Bernard Manning will always be the best Northern comedian ever anyway. lol

it's just an awards show, it doesn't mean anything. I enjoy watching them to see what an arse the presenter makes of him.herself. In this case, Jonathon Ross.. so even more incentive. It's just a bit of entertainment. Jonathon Ross was a bit off with his jokes though. They were a bit shitter than usual.
