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!)

Right, right...
And the fact that it's transferred over to BBC1, and suddenly one can't move for people outdoing each other to say how they hate it and always have...?

Hate Peter Kay too. "Went to the doctor, said 'Doctor I've got steering stuck to crotch, it's driving me nuts'"...retard. It's like we live in Bizarro World, and 'Uncle-in-law jokes' are funny.
So you want 'cult' comedy, eh? Because of course only 'cult' comedy could possibly appeal to todays individual yoof.
Spaced, Big Train, Jam, The Day Today, I'm Alan Partridge, KMKYWAP, Brass Eye, Rock Profile - all genius because they are ACTUALLY FUNNY, not a series of recurring punchlines designed to cater to the same audience as My Hero, or My Family. It was only on BBC3, the 'cult' channel, so we are told, because it was so lame.

Wow...that was awesomely bigoted.
Do you mean you don't like 90% of the black youths you've met, or you just don't like 90% of black youths. Cos I'm afraid that, if it's the latter, then you and Bernard Manning have just become soulmates.

Absolutely. Jesus, why else would I have laughed quite so hard at Goaty's description of "Mong Sex 2" in the video store?

That comes across as extraordinarily racist.

Now you see, I could watch something like that all day long. Anyone who says otherwise, you're lying.

The fact is, most of Britain is racist.
I'll admit, I don't like 90% of black youths. But am I racist? I don't think so. I hate them because of their attitude and the fact they simply think they're better than you, rather than the colour of their skin. If they were white, I'd hate them just the same, if not more.
A slight tangent, yes. Damn mini-rant.

The comedy awards was brilliant especially when Ricky yelled "It's not a globe though is it" when little Britain got their viewers choice award.
It was all a farce, after all Shaun of the Dead beaten by School of Rock. Sure it was a solid effort but better than Shaun of the Dead??? Whatever.

Little Britain is by no means brilliant.
Despite what happened at the awards, The Office was clearly more deserving to be crowned No.1.
Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy watching the show and find it hard not to switch on as the current episode's about to start, but so much of it is so cheap, immature and stale.
There are a few sketches and ideas that do deserve merit, yet they're only few and very far in between.
If it's not about being gay, or laughing at another person's unfortunate expense, it's an old joke we've seen one-hundred-and-one times already today.
I don't know how they get away with half the things they do now...
You certainly wouldn't get off so easily if it were you or I!
Is this really a sign of what this country has become now?
I've always feared the worst, that we would become a "Second America"; has the day finally come? Is that why it won? Because it reflects the general thoughts of the average Englishman in this generation?
Sit through the two series' of The Office and the Christmas Specials after that - instantly, you'll see a clarified difference, where brilliance, bright ideas and unpredictable humour flow all throughout.

Hmmm, maybe I should go live in Wales....

Near enough every 'cult' comedy that Britain has is predictable. Trigger Happy, Ali G, Bo Selecta - all featured similar situations throughout, all sold to millions.
People find humour in familiarity. They want something they can quote down the pub or repeat in playground. That's why Peter Kay is the figure that he is today.
