"Shaun of The Dead?"

In my OPINION the GREATEST comedy MOVIE 2 come out of Britain eva. Not funny if urr not British though i guess.

I enjoyed it more the 2nd time I saw it, which was strange.
But good, yesverymuchso.

Simon Pegg was on that new year's eve Jools Holland shin-dig, and he said they're making a 'cop movie' next. Although he obviously wasn't supposed to say that just yet.

I thought Shaun of the Dead was hugely entertaining, it's the only DVD I've ever pre-ordered.

But if it’s not your thing - I wouldn’t worry about it

Good but doesn't do Spaced justice.

I also enjoyed Shaun of the Dead.

s O dead isi genius. funniest thing last year

Personally I loved Shaun of The Dead, but then I'm a movie geek.
*shrugs*

And The Office ranks up there with Fawlty Towers.

Just out of interest, what does make you smile?

I like the outtakes where you see Bill Nighy (sp?) actually get hit by the cricket bat and shovel. Simon Pegg's face is fantastic as he realises what he's just done...

Exactly - and I'm not even a great fan of slapstick.

Political correctness has killed comedy. Bring back political incorrectness.

Yet you found the only funny bit to be the slapstick "oh he walked into a lampost" moment?

Oh and the dance scene in the Office?

I suppose it figures really.

The Office and Shawn of the Dead were both excellent. I'd actually say The Office has breathed new life into British sitcoms, which were otherwise dull as hell of late.
