[I'm With Stupid]

Bottom

I still laugh at it, slapstick doesn't age too much

Red Dwarf I would agree on though

Yeah, bottom never gets old . Alaways cracks me up .

Yeah, I could watch Rik Mayall all day. His scenes in Blackadder are amazing. And Bottom, obviously.

...but is crap when you watch repeats years later.

I'll start with:

Morecambe and Wise
90% of Monty Pythons flying circus (TV programmes not films)

Nijinsky's Fetlocks.

You're right Billy - I have lost my cutting edge of late.
I'll try harder in future, I really will.
Back on topic, I watched some Spike Milligan programmes the other day and they were shockingly unfunny, and I loved Spike Milligan as a kid.

Rarely disagree with you, but you are wrong sir. Wrong.

On the Buses.

To think that programme had 20 million viewers in it's day beggars belief.

I disagree.

When I watched it 40 years ago as a child it left me cold.

Now I see the comedy genius of the programme is in its slapstick predictability and the facial expressions.

That's why I like Sykes.

Each episode is the same. some daft antics from Eric and Hattie and then the policeman, Derek Guyler, comes round to offer inane advice.

Erm,........are you getting a little confused here?

I agree with the comedy genius of Eric Sykes, but Reg Varney?

Only caught a bit of this the other night. The guys were moaning how they'd missed the BBC's Watchdog and that it had included a special report on defective bikini's!

Always funny.

Wrong about losing my cutting edge, or Spike Milligan?
Or both?
Maybe it's an age thing mate, or maybe it's the mood I was in when I watched them, because this was prior to Stevie Paedo's one-man tribute to Falling Down, and my mood has lightened since.
I'll give him another try, as I'd probably find the test card hilarious at the moment.
