British television appreciation thread

[Jonathan Macfarlane]

After the Kev Nee thread and a bit of Brit bashing, I thought this was in order. In NZ we get all the USA culture and with the Brit expats, we get alot of their TV shows. I thought some of you guys might like this stuff. Please realise alot of it is very Un-PC and rude, but it is funny.

I can't believe I'm posting this, mods feel free to get rid of this, but it is funny. My dad is really anti-swearing, but he loves this show. Not work safe.

Chopper Reid was a serial killer in Australia, on the Ronnie Johns show, this guy emulates him. Got a cult following down these parts.

Yeah, my local film store didn't have it, I'm gonna try another one. Apparently Eric Bana's actign was awesome.

Good clips had me in stitch's

[Stephen Calhoun]

I love British comedy. Dr. Who, Red Dwarf, Monty Python, I watched "life of Brian" last night. The Holy Grail is so irreverent and funny it just does not get any better. In the mid seventies when I first found Monty Python I had an old black and white tv that you had to adjust between channels to get to public broadcasting which was airing monty late at night. It was always worth the work.

[JoeCSnavely]

Hilarious! Hippy hating killed me!

[Paul Savage]

two pints of lager and a packet of crisp = world class comedy

[Mac Smith]

I'm not a big fan of British humor. I find it a bit dry!

[Andrew Joakim]

I grew up watching fawlty towers, keeping up apperances, and are you being serves. Now i love watching Little Britain, Bo Selecta( they would never show this in North America), only fools and horses, the office, and dirty sanchez( here they call it team sanchez).

That's a bunch of Chopper clips. The second one is hilarious, it's Chopper doing a game of Bingo and saying what each number looks like.

Oh yeah, what exactly is the story behind Chopper Reid? I saw that he was a serial killer, what's his story? Like what'd he do, etc.

[Rus Mandery]

SO how many pints do you have to drink before that stuff is funny? 6 Imperial Pints?

What a guy!

[MattxBurns]

I was surprised when I didn't find it on Wikipedia...that's because I spelt Read, "Reid".

[Jerame Linnell]

That is some good stuff! I love dry humor!

[Jonathan Macfarlane]

I don't know how you can find that dry. Better post some Kiwi stuff too.

I love red dwarf but here in Iowa it is never on at the same time. I also loved Ab Fab. There is somthing about cerebral humor and gross out humor in the same show,

[ColinStubbert]

hahahaha! I love all the Monty Python! But that Fawlty Towers skit is absolutely classic! Ha! Love it all!
