I'm not a fan of Fawlty Towers actually, Cleese is pretty good but the show has entirely too much screechy yelling and isn't really tyte.

 

I love Blackadder, Monty Python and Black Books though.

You know, it certainly makes living in Wellington seem cooler to me.

Dropping the u is stupid. It's part of a general Americanisation to dumb the language down. Exempli gratia: 'thru'.

 

What?

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

Pooha. A good joke is a good joke, and a bad joke is a bad joke.

I've never seen the British version of "The Office." Maybe I'd like it better. I don't find the American one funny at all, even tho I do like Steve Carell.

 

I often like cynical/sarcastic satire/attitude & humor (the dad in that 70's show, George Carlin, Dr. House, Monty Python etc.) but something about The Office ... I've tried to watch it repeatedly but it never makes me even crack a smile. :/

Cable on-demand has some of the British version, and I tried to watch it. I still didn't like it. It's just not funny ... I guess the humor is far too subtle for me and is too much like watching people in a real office occasionally mutter to each other - it puts me to sleep. Hubby doesn't like it either. I guess we're not with it. :)

Hehe :sorcerer:

 

The point being - it's boring to listen to to unless you're somehow "in" on the joke. :)
