Yeah man, I downloaded all the eps to my PC from lando's site. That is the funniest stuff ever. And Borak or whatever his name is, the arab dude, isn't that the Tetris theme song playing when it shows him on each ep? |

Ah, Channel 4 "comedys"?  actually they're not bad, Shameless is good but Teachers and Green Wing just don't do it for me. Im not into those sorts of comedys, I prefer my stand-up standing.
Billy Connelly's great. He definately went off the boil with those annoying Lotto adverts but damn is he funny! I only think that he spends too much time being 'serious' nowadays, like that episode of his recent New Zealand tour where he talks about a local man who died there and he visits their grave. Billy, if you're reading this, we watch you for your humour, not your anecdotes or acting ability (he's godawful as an actor, but even so its in a funny way).
Anyone here think Jimmy Carr has become too mainstream? He's everywhere now doing stupid quizes and "100 greatest"... stuff, he was much better as a simple comedian. And doesn't everyone love Rob Brydon?

I've seen Harry Hill live, he's really funny. A comic genius 
"D'ooooooh, Gary Lineker Badger, I knew you'd be behind this!"
I've also seen Eddie Izzard in "A Day in the Death of Joe Egg", a black comedy in the West End, London  Makes me the envy of more than a few people
I'd also like to see Jasper Carrot and Billy Connelly |

And then theres Harry Hill. His TV Burp is hit-and-miss but his earlier stand-up and completely weird shows involving badgers are great:
"My old mum told me that life is like a game of Monopoly... yes, you start at Go!, pass Old Kent Road, buy a property, go to jail, get a loan from the bank... and I said to her "Oh thats rubbish"...
"Two weeks later I won second prize in a beauty contest".
And he always points out the most obscure things. I think TV Burp, for all its chavness, should be immortalised for pointing out a scene in Holby City where a patient actually turns into a dog and no-one is the wiser. 
I didn't like Harry Enfield, though. Too basic for my liking. |

The only episode I've seen of Spaced is the one with the Resident Evil parody... My friend insisted I watch it, and I thought it was a bit of an oddball comedy, but funny nonetheless |

Vic and Bob! *Smacks Mr Zero with an oversized frying pan". They were class.... I've always wondered though... what happened to that old bloke with the frizzy hair on "Vic's Big Night out" ?
Johnny Vegas rocks. He stole the British Comedy awards
SPACED!!! Someone else out there likes Spaced! How cool is that....
"Ullo Brian...."
Simon Pegg is a genius. |

And don't forget Vic and Bob. OK, so sometimes they can be a little stale and predictable, but tell me you don't laugh when Vic plays the keyboard one-handed with a Hitler moustache and Bob stands on the spot moving his arms like a sprinter.
And I think I am probably the only person in Britain that doesn't like Little Britain. Same goes for Peter Kay, Johnny Vegas is much better than him. And can anyone remember Spaced? Not a comedy through-and-through but great all-the-same. |

Well If you want British funny, you should try Chris Morris's Brass Eye and The Day Today. The Day Today is a brilliant satirical comedy based around like a news programme but its so like a news programme in the way it takes the piss out of the nuances of it its sidesplitting. Another I like is "I'm Alan Partridge" by Steve Coogan. A lot of people dont really like him anymore, but his earlier characters- Paul and Paulette, and all the other characters from Coogans Run- are brilliant. You should also try Not Only But Also, Peter Cook was a master at comedy.

The Father Ted boxset was one of the first I got - all three series It definately is one of the best, and the most original |

I live near Staines Crap place 
He's hilarious, but I defy you to watch the other 11 O'clock show comedian - RICKY GERVAIS! Seriously, he's a genius and he's from my hometown of Reading as well |

I'm getting season one on dvd asap. I have yet to see any of his films though.
I thought Bruno was kind of dumb at first, but I watched a few, and saw how equally hilarious he is.
Respek yourself.
Edit: Does anybody know where I can procure any of his clothing? (I'm gonna dress up as him for costume day).
I was looking, and I only saw the dumb joke shop versions of his hat, and none of the actual clothing from Puma, Nike, Fubu, Tommy, etc.
I'm especially interested in the hat, because I basically have other wiggerwear |

One of my fave interviews is when he interviewed someone about the Welsh language.. it was brilliant... |
