Partridge

[Big Swifty]

Dull and ridiculously overhyped.

Just not funny

Each to their own mate. I know you enjoy Mrs Browns Boys. Not for me but that's what tickles you. Fair play.

It makes Carry On films seem funny. I have seen funnier party political broadcasts.

It stopped being funny around the series he had the east European girlfriend.

That's spot on. The Office was more subtle as you could genuinely believe in David Brent as someone who you'd come across in a real office. But Partridge is just too OTT to be genuine funny. You cringe for the wrong reasons.

The office is only funny if you have worked in an office and know all the characters in the show but in real-life form.

I never really found it that funny tbh

I never liked Phoenix nights either, runs away quickly :)

Mrs Browns Boys was funny for two series then that is when it should have been culled, apparently it was a good live show experience.

Seem funny?

Next, you'll be saying that the bigus dickus sketch from Monty Python wasn't funny :)

No idea what he's saying, but the Partridge reference made me smile (and the music)

 

[Blue Til Death]

Each to their own but I’m not a fan, he’s the type that people laugh at because they think they should, not because he’s funny ...
As someone has already said, over hyped and under funny..

The English, especially BBC radio, have long specialised in unfunny comedy.
Professor Jimmy Edwards, Harry Worth, Terry and June, Sid James, Lenny Henry, Jimmy Clitheroe, and the greatest of them all Peter Brough, a ventrilloquism act on radio ffs.
Feel free to add your own comedy bete noire.
