I'm sure everyone in the UK knows it well it was on from 1997 to 2002, "I'm Alan Partridge"!! Oh my god I'm literally laughing so hard I have tears running down my face!!

I thought the UK "The Office" was funny but this is even better!!


Literally ROTFL!!!

No one else has seen or likes "I'm Alan Partridge"? Sensi you live in Scotland I'm sure you have seen it.

What sucks is in 5 years time they only made 12, 30 min episodes. Now aperintly they are going to do an Alan Partridge movie.

I thought US Office was much bettr than I had expected...The christmas episode was jokes! Uk Office was the buisness also!

Aint to sure about Little Britain though...I think Matt Lucas is one of the best actors out there...but some of their material is a lame.....Basically George Walliams ain't funny....and milks the gay thing too much... Planet Rock Profiles was the best stuff they did IMO!

You Yanks should check out Only Fools and Horses ...But matbe you won't get the jokes...Having said that you guys seemed to get Office and we get most of your jokes so it will probably be just as funny!!

Most Brittish Commedians are shit though. American commedy is much better [well at least their sit-coms] IMO

Malcom in't Middle
Curb'
Seinfeld
Simpsons[was funny]
South Park

To name but a few...
And what do we have "My Family" and "Men behaving Badly"


And the US programes are much better too
Oz
Lost
Sopranos
24
The Sheild
..................even the Office is pretty good [ I wouldn't say better]

What do we have at the moment..."Dr. Who" with Billy Piper!

Ahaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Got both seasons one DVD. I also recomend Pheonix Nights and Spaced to anyone who hasn't seen them.

Yeah I love the American Office too. The first season was a little weak but it has gotten much, much better. Steve Carell is one of my favorite comedians anywhere right now. "The 40 Year Old Virgin" was SOOOOO funny! And yeah the American Office xmas episode was great. I loved the tree lighting "3, 2, 1, not very good!" LOL it was like one single very dim string of lights lol!

Partridge and Pheonix Nights are quallity aswell..
US office is surprisingly hilarious ..what about when the woman gets her kit off in his office at the christmas party....And the episode when they play basket ball and he's picking the team! Oh man ...good stuff!

monty python takes a while to get into, and life of brian is probbably the worst place to start. My grandmother used to watch the show, now thats where the best python is, the series. the meaning of life is kind of a greatest hits of skits. very very funny.

anyone watch M.X.C., i get stoned and litteraly laugh myself stupid.

Good observation ...Matbe Top Gear has had a few tweeks since I last saw it!

But I do rember a race between a Suzuki Hyabusa,a Porche 911 and a Fast Jet Fighter! I think the bike was winning for the first 100 metres...and jet the Jet kinda pushed infront!

Have you ever seen an old rust bucket get pimped up ont Top Gear? lol

Watch "And Now For Something Completely Different..." by Monty Python - it's all the best sketches from the Flying Circus series', but remade to flow in the film.

British stand up comedy is the best (Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey, Eddie Izzard, Jack Dee, Alan Davies, Joe Brand, Phil Jupitus...), but we have some great sitcoms too (Black Books, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Men Behaving Badly, Steptoe And Son, Only Fools And Horses...).

Where we try too hard is the comedy quiz show - they are funny, but there are so many of them (Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Have I Got News For You, 8/10 Cats...) QI is brilliant, though.
