You will probably love 'Father Ted' and 'ThermoMan' too then. One of the characters from Father Ted is 'Dougal', who also plays 'Thermo-man'- which is a bit of a cross between a spoof on superheroes and 'Becker'. Both Brilliant programmes. Drop the Dead Donkey is good too. (Based on a newspaper team).

If you can abide campy 1970's humor, the classic Monty Python's Flying Circus can't be beat. My daughter is probably more inclined to Mr. Bean, so she's a Rowan Atkinson fan already.

The Cast (in order of appearance.) M= Man looking for an argument R= Receptionist Q= Abuser A= Arguer (John Cleese) C= Complainer (Eric Idle) H= Head Hitter M: Ah. I'd like to have an argument, please. R: Certainly sir. Have you been here before? M: No, I haven't, this is my first time. R: I see. Well, do you want to have just one argument, or were you thinking of taking a course? M: Well, what is the cost? R: Well, It's one pound for a five minute argument, but only eight pounds for a course of ten. M: Well, I think it would be best if I perhaps started off with just the one and then see how it goes. R: Fine. Well, I'll see who's free at the moment. Pause R: Mr. DeBakey's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory. Ahh yes, Try Mr. Barnard; room 12. M: Thank you. (Walks down the hall. Opens door.) Q: WHAT DO YOU WANT? M: Well, I was told outside that... Q: Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings! M: What? Q: Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert!!! M: Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I'm not going to just stand...!! Q: OH, oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse. M: Oh, I see, well, that explains it. Q: Ah yes, you want room 12A, Just along the corridor. M: Oh, Thank you very much. Sorry. Q: Not at all. M: Thank You. (Under his breath) Stupid git!! (Walk down the corridor) M: (Knock) A: Come in. M: Ah, Is this the right room for an argument? A: I told you once. M: No you haven't. A: Yes I have. M: When? A: Just now. M: No you didn't. A: Yes I did. M: You didn't A: I did! M: You didn't! A: I'm telling you I did! M: You did not!! A: Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour? M: Oh, just the five minutes. A: Ah, thank you. Anyway, I did. M: You most certainly did not. A: Look, let's get this thing clear; I quite definitely told you. M: No you did not. A: Yes I did. M: No you didn't. A: Yes I did. M: No you didn't. A: Yes I did. M: No you didn't. A: Yes I did. M: You didn't. A: Did. M: Oh look, this isn't an argument. A: Yes it is. M: No it isn't. It's just contradiction. A: No it isn't. M: It is! A: It is not. M: Look, you just contradicted me. A: I did not. M: Oh you did!! A: No, no, no. M: You did just then. A: Nonsense! M: Oh, this is futile! A: No it isn't. M: I came here for a good argument. A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument. M: An argument isn't just contradiction. A: It can be. M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition. A: No it isn't. M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction. A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position. M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.' A: Yes it is! M: No it isn't! A: Yes it is! M: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes. (short pause) A: No it isn't. M: It is. A: Not at all. M: Now look. A: (Rings bell) Good Morning. M: What? A: That's it. Good morning. M: I was just getting interested. A: Sorry, the five minutes is up. M: That was never five minutes! A: I'm afraid it was. M: It wasn't. Pause A: I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue anymore. M: What?! A: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes. M: Yes, but that was never five minutes, just now. Oh come on! A: (Hums) M: Look, this is ridiculous. A: I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid! M: Oh, all right. (pays money) A: Thank you. short pause M: Well? A: Well what? M: That wasn't really five minutes, just now. A: I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid. M: I just paid! A: No you didn't. M: I DID! A: No you didn't. M: Look, I don't want to argue about that. A: Well, you didn't pay. M: Aha. If I didn't pay, why are you arguing? I Got you! A: No you haven't. M: Yes I have. If you're arguing, I must have paid. A: Not necessarily. I could be arguing in my spare time. M: Oh I've had enough of this. A: No you haven't. M: Oh Shut up. (Walks down the stairs. Opens door.) M: I want to complain. C: You want to complain! Look at these shoes. I've only had them three weeks and the heels are worn right through. M: No, I want to complain about... C: If you complain nothing happens, you might as well not bother. M: Oh! C: Oh my back hurts, it's not a very fine day and I'm sick and tired of this office. (Slams door. walks down corridor, opens next door.) M: Hello, I want to... Ooooh! H: No, no, no. Hold your head like this, then go Waaah. Try it again. M: uuuwwhh!! H: Better, Better, but Waah, Waah! Put your hand there. M: No. H: Now.. M: Waaaaah!!! H: Good, Good! That's it. M: Stop hitting me!! H: What? M: Stop hitting me!! H: Stop hitting you? M: Yes! H: Why did you come in here then? M: I wanted to complain. H: Oh no, that's next door. It's being-hit-on-the-head lessons in here. M: What a stupid concept.

Great stuff and it was an episode with Hugh Laurie playing the King (I forget which one). I'll have to keep an eye out for it from now on. Monty Python- Parrot Sketch is their most famous but there's a similar one called "Bookshop" which is really funny as well. Then there's "Nudge, Nudge"...etc.! And of course a true Python fan knows a lot of "MP & the Holy Grail" and "Life of Brian"- Classic stuff. Benny Hill is still funny after all these years...  Last edited on 06:26 pm by |

The Bookstore Sketch (and the whole idea of deviously mistranslating a Hungarian/English dictionary) was one of the best. The Philosopher's Football Match Sketch was funny, but a bit more obscure.

2 members of the monty python team. (John Cleese and Michael Palin) later starred in a movie called 'A Fish called Wanda' and then the sort of sequel with Kevin Cline called 'Fierce Creatures'. Excellent viewing!

At first yes, but over the years I have found it boring. Now I do enjoy a good British mystery such as Midsummer.

It is on the Biography channel. As far as british humor what is not to like about Monty Python and Absolutely Fabulous! I have a lot of the DVD's. Benny Hill is also up there on my favorites.

One I started to like a few years ago is a show called " One Foot In The Grave " with Victor Meldrew ( played by Richard Wilson ) and wife Margret ( played by Annette Crosbie ) . Another people don`t seem to know or remember anymore is one that ran on British TV from 1982 to 1984. It`s called " The Young Ones ". It`s a show about 4 college age lads that have nothing in common with each other but, stuck sharing a flat with each other. Revolutionary for it`s time, it made Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson, and Ben Elton household names in England. It set the stage and tone for alternative comedy in England.

I like all the above and Borat and Ali G can't believe the balls that guy has. I like the Black Adder goes forth series one where hes in the first world war. Scene: Blackadder goes to see the genearal for mission briefing. Blackadder: So whats the plan walk as slowly as possible towads the enemy while they gun us down? officer: How do you know? this is top secret information. In another scene one of Blackadders men asks '' what do I do If I step on a mine''. Blackadder says '' leap 20 feet into the air and spread yourself over a wide area''.

You already know I love British comedy... all it takes is Rowan Atkinson saying "Bob" and I can't help giggling.
