Classic example today of people trying to run our lives - Smack The Pony gets a 'recommended' star in the Daily Mail. But why? It's hardly ground-breaking comedy. In fact, I'd go as far as saying it's not even funny. I think it may once have been funny. I remember something once that made me chuckle. But it's gone the way of Big Train and run out of steam. The Daily Mail telling me it is funny and I have to watch it is almost wartime public deception. It's not edgy, satirical, funny, all the things that make comedy worth watching. I might put on my old copies of The Day Today - I'd buy that for a dollar!

I dont really watch it but what Ive seen it seems quite funny enough!!
Personally, I think Smack The Pony is great.
However, it's not unmissable. Comedies such as Red Dwarf, the Fast Show and Father Ted are unmissable, in my view.
Just watched the Office, classique stuff. :D

I can't beleive that you think it isn't funny!
I agree some sketches just go too far and that it isn't on the top of my list for things to watch, but if its on I will watch it.
Also Big Train is one of the funniest shows on the TV at the moment aswell as 'the office' and 'chewing the fat'. These shows are all about stupid comedy, not about people telling jokes i've heard 100 times before and people wearing funny little hats.
I agree some sketches and scenes don't make any sense at all but thats whats funny about it, and what makes people laugh. Maybe different things make different people laugh but Smack the Pony is definately hilarious and always will be to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
