Little Britain is not funny
Posted on: Thursday, December 15th, 2005 at 10:32 PMWell, I don’t find it to be funny apart from Tom Baker’s voice-overs.
Perhaps my funny bone is riddled with cancer and no longer works, but to watch a guy in a wheelchair who isn’t disabled, a man dressed as a woman going ‘ nih neah’( cant spell the noise exactly.. ) or the fantastically unfunny ‘ Computer says no! ‘ and the nadir of ‘ I’m the only gay in the village ‘ sketches are just not funny.
I cant be the only one who thinks that Little Britain is complete nonsense, unfunny and no classic. Its one of those things where the media hypes it up, and suddenly everyone is talking about it.. apparently
Compare the show’s writing with the best of Ronnie Barker’s sketches for The Two Ronnies, the manic humour of Monty Python or the delicious dark comedy of The League Of Gentlemen.
Does this show merit all the awards?
Computer says no!
I watched Little Britian this evening and my funny bone decided not to work. Should I go and see a Doctor?
But then again Tom Baker is funny.

Wow! I thought I was the only one who thought that Little Britain is unfunny. Its awful and it infuriates me when it is hyped as a classic. The sad thing is it is even popular across the pond now.
The good news is that series 3 has been losing viewers by the millions. So hopefully the only channel you will be able to see this show in the future is on Uk Mould in the early hours of the morning.
Its disturbing to think that shows like this and My Family and Three Pints Of Lager continue to get the greenlight when something like Sean Lock’s excellent 15 Storeys High gets axed after series 2.
What is going on with the British public at the moment? has the water been poisoned or something?

Most things these days are labeled ‘ classic ‘ when they dont merit it. It will be interesting to hear retrospectives in the years to come.
