The Office or Phoenix Nights

[Bluesince1979]

One of the funniest scenes from PN was when the committe were watching the auditions and the lady laying on her back popping the ping pong balls out of her vagina and them landing on the committee.Very funny scene.

Those clips of the auditions were always comedy gold

i always got the feeling all the old uns in the ‘audience’ were unaware they were actually extras in a show and thought they were in an actual working mens club :))

I always find it amusing when people say comedians like Peter Kay and Mickey Flanagan aren't funny. If either of them announced a UK tour right now, the tickets would sell out within minutes and every person going would be in hysterics for much of the night.

It's much like the music bores who like to tell all and sundry how easy Oasis' songs were to make. Why don't you have a crack yourself then and see how you get on?

Beauty is within the eye of the beholder.

i went to see flanagan and was amused for about 10 mins.

different strokes for different folks and im not sure u can tell people what they should be finding funny

;)

Phoenix Nights for me. I tried watching the office but found myself have the strong feeling to punch Ricky Gervais lights out. Doesnt matter what part he plays I just see David Brent

Can't stand Peter Kay, it's the Office for me

I'm quite surprised that a northern based comedy aimed at mainly northern lads and lasses is more popular amongst the posters on a northern based football forum than its Southern based competition. Haha!

I’m not telling anyone. I’m simply saying that to call them shit when then have a huge following is daft.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Both brilliant imo.

I also loved Car Share by Peter Kay.

Sounds like I'm going to have to try and find early doors and give it a watch.
I only ever saw it once and didn't realize it was a comedy.

It was, along with the supporting act Gibson. Kay directed it n’all. In any outtakes you see of it you constantly see Kay telling the co-actors how to deliver the lines.

 

[oakiecokie]

Fuck off you.

So I take it I was correct then?

I think we need a bigger selection of comedies to chose from, but I do prefer phoenix over the office

Same as you but I would add Fawlty Towers also to the list.
