Gaccha Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 It hasn't got a mention, yet it must be the greatest analysis in comedy format of the British people in the last 15 years: 'Monkey Dust'. It was on BBC3 for several seasons until the creator died. It won vast numbers of awards and gained a cult following for the way it dissected in a cartoon aniamtion format the msot pressing and awkward issues of the day. There was for example the inept paedophile sketch, the always failing Muslim bomber with the Brummy accent, the boring accountant reciting movie plots to his wife to escape his drab (i.e. British) life, the middle class post modernist lefties... and so on. Astonishing. Goes well with 'Brass Eye'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel2003 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Happened to see 2 seasons of the series Gavin & Stacy. Really liked it. Very funny. Too bad, as far as I understand, they will only make a 3rd season and then stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geekfreaklover Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 You can you tube a show called 'Pefect World' with Paul Kaye aka Dennis Pennis working in an advertising agency. That was funny' Also check out his Mike Strutt show on MTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Absolutely Fabulous If anyone is interested in an exchange of DVD's I'm very interested, some of the series mentioned here are superb - although not comedy I'm keen to get my hands on Spooks.
