Sergio Garcia Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Having been off all week and housebound since a week on friday, ive been watching a lot more tv than normal and this has increased my advert observation tenfold. Now 2 programmes that i just dont get and have never ever laughed at are Katy Brand's Big Ass show and E4s School of Comedy Is there anything else out there as bad as these two shows and does anyone actually find them amusing?

jamboinglasgow Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 [quote=dave243; 1288418]I was gonna write a list until i saw this post. Catchphrase comedy in general i find totally cack totally agreed. I was wondering recently why there are never anything close to monty python on tv in terms of brillant sketch comedy. Then watching it again realised it is the catchphrase. Yes monty python is endlessly quotable with stuff that could be seen as catchphrases "this is an ex-parrot" "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok." But the difference between MP and today's **** shows is that monty python rarely have a reoccuring character (the only one I can think of is gumby) and even then it is more a genre of charcter rather then the same. And they dont sprout out effectively the same joke each time only in a different situation. 45 episodes were made of it. The fourth season is not as good as the first three (but even then John Cleese left the show after the third series as he thought they were going to head towards the same kinds of jokes, can you imagine Matt Lucas and David Williams thinking that, can you imagine Catherine Tate thinking that.) I can only put it down to laziness on either the part of the comedians writing it or the producers who want "what works." Yes MP did effectivly have 6 writers but they worked hard at it. Even look at Spike Milligans Q time, he wrote that himself and it is as unique and as non-repeative as Monty python. I think the key think with sketch comedy that unless you are very lucky there will be a few misses in it as much as hits. But the important thing is a hit doesn't continue to be a hit if its just repeated again and again and again and again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the important thing is a hit doesn't continue to be a hit if its just repeated again and again and again and again and again. the main problem with sitcom's and such like, is that the first series or two may be funny or at least watchable, but the main idea runs out of steam, but we get subjected to more series which destroys the good vibe of the original idea. thinking back to some sitcoms i have watched in the past, red dwarf, two pints are ones that i did enjoy to start of with but after the first few the idea ran out of steam, watching some of the repeats on tv they have lost the original fun when i did watch them. the same can be said about Frankie Boyle, how soon is it going to be that folk will start finding him repeatative and not funny anymore. over exposure is the main problem with the programme makers, they get one good hit and then stay with it, if they could try to bring fresh ideas coming along. even non sitcoms, things like the long way round, where charlie braodman and ewan mcgregor was watchable, its now just charlie broadman and it is boring, same thing repeated over again. tv producers must start to take a gamble on the stuff they produce, if you look at the current tv schedule you can almost predict what is going to be on over the weekends. soap some mindless viewers voting programme ( dancing, xfactor, im a celb, biug brother,etc) somethng with ant and dec in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally they have a quality rating that is maybe a curve. The same can be said with popularity for tv figures. Over-exposure is the worst thing you can do with a talented star yet tc execs bank on what is succesful so only like putting on what worked regardless of what the viewers will think. In a way I admire BBC three for at least trying new comedy shows, however the problem is that most are the same and the ones that they claim are "new" and "unique" are acutally the same but with a slight novelty part. E.G. one they used computer graphics (was funny for first show then cringeworthy.) Is there no one at the BBC with a decent sense of humour? At least listen to the people writing the shows to guess if they could actually make people laugh. I was astonished when hearing an interview with Catherine Tate 5 years ago where she said that right after she did her first ever stand up (her first leap into comedy) the BBC approached her to do a sketch show. I mean come on, that is far too quickly to give someone a show and it almost feels like the BBC wanted a female comedian so the producer picked the first one he found regardless of if they were good or not.

neave Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Most of my nominations have been said: Little Miss Jocelyn, The Kevin Bishop Show and Two and a Half Men (in descending order). The only reason Bishop doesn't come in first is because there was once one sketch of his that made me nearly laugh in one of the first shows. The only one I haven't seen mentioned is the most recent French and Saunders effort (I've forgotten the name). Set in a farming community, the fat one plays the most stereotypical, unfunny, 'random' character ever, and that's just for starters. I watched it with the bird and her parents a while back and, unfortunately, I was the only one in the room who didn't find it funny. Utter garbage.
