"Little britain- How depressing"

I see it dominated the british comedy awards, how depressing, a program which is about as fun as finding out you have TB, cancer and AIDS and running your own personal sweepstake on which will kill you first.No offence but this programme is moronic. I am not sensitive to this kind of thing, but they get away with a lot, I wouldn't mind if it was actually relatively funny. Hahahahahaha we will try and take the pisss out of disabled people in the least funny way possible whilst spawning the most stupid and annoying catchphrases ever. If you want to make humour of of the situations at least make it vaguely funny, Timargh in south park is pretty amusing and is related to the same subject matter, thats because they try to actually be funny and slapstick rather than constantly see how much they can get away with.

At what point did screaming "i'm the only gay in the village" make for hilarious viewing? pure bull.

the only thing in little britain i ever at anypoint found amusing was the pikey girl. It was related well to real life and was done pretty well and was amusing the first time you saw it, maybe even the second time. But after that its limited comical value was worn out.

I appreciate that the BBC feels obliged to waste as much of the licence fee as it humanly can, and that bigging up little britain in some way seems to justify the existence of BBC 3, but lets be honest it is bullcrap of the highest order.

I am more than happy to watch mindless crap, low budget productions, hardly any subject is taboo with me, I am a pisshead student for godsake! but this has to be the most over rated programme in the history of television, not clever, not witty, and shitte. those awards better not have been voted for, otherwise this country is in a worse state than i thought (and i am an optimist!)

Devon Mills at the Policmans ball is utter genius.

It was all brilliant, then they made a third episode.

I think your in the minority as some who dislikes little britain.

It was brilliant yeah it's cheap laughs and silly as hell but some mindless funny tv-shows are just what the bbc needed. So many people love this show. I think theres someone in the bbc building looking very smug at the moment and rightly so.

I quote jonny woss (although he was talking about Bo Selecta at the time);

'He's locked in a room working on that hard to find second joke'

I don't understand the joke behind 'I'm the only gay in the village'.

Is there actually one or is it just meant to be taken at face value?

Little Britain is as amusing as herpes.

Face value. He's not gay, that's plainly obvious. He just wants to be different. Every opportunity he gets of meeting someone who is actually gay, he backs off.

For all it's predictibility, I think Little Britian is absolutely genius satire.

It's alright. It's not genius, but it's not all total crap.

I've actually been re-watching The Office series 1. Now that is funny.

People are taking Little Britain too seriously.

It's just light hearted comedy, nothing more, nothing less.
