Anyone else here see "Little Britain" ???
Got the first Season on DVD and it is hilarious !!!! Lot's of AYBS? references too !!!

I too think it's hilarious. Kind of a League of Gentlemen with attitude. On this other forum I frequent there's a UK sub-forum. I posted a topic requesting feedback on the show. Not one was positive out of 12 or so responses.

Oh well, still a damn funny show.,

To hell with what others think B&M, as long as we think it's funny !!! :lol2:

This is another one of the shows I recently rented/watched. It's been a couple of weeks, but I've been busily debating with myself whether I like this show or not. The conclusion I've come to is that maybe I don't want to like it, but just can't help myself. Most of the time it did get a laugh out of me.

I loved the AYBS connection. (even though the silly b*tch stabbed our Mollie in the back :roll:)

But I did feel that the guys who made the show, who are obviously talented and funny people, could have showed a little more imagination than a constant barrage of gay jokes and fat jokes. :no: (Though after the first season, they did try to be "equal opportunity offenders"...by picking on almost everyone.) Maybe it's because it's like teenage boy "potty humor," and I'm not a teenage boy, :roll: or maybe I'm getting grumpy in my "old" age, but I guess that kind of humor doesn't amuse me quite as much as it would have, say, 5 years ago (though I still found most of it to be ranging from mildly amusing to LOL funny.)

I didn't find myself actually offended by the "jokes," but there were some times where I was like...um, dudes, that's just not that funny. And there were a couple of things I felt they should have kept from the first season, instead of characters from the second and third seasons who I could have done without (the projectile "barfing bigot" woman, for one.) Eew.

But, despite the stuff I pointed out that kept me from really loving the show, obviously it stuck in my head and I liked it well enough, since a) I watched it more than once and b) I have been telling my cats "Computer says no!" for like 2 weeks now. :roll:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I'm nuts for the show myself. It honestly is rude, offensive and childish and I love it for it. :emotlol:

[Diana Yarswick]

Yes. It's offensive in every way. But funny.

[CaptainGinger]

Absolutely. I adore Little Britain. Watched an episode from series 2 tonight... had me in stitches. "Oooh and he was GOR-JUS!"

[Dear_Sexy_Knickers]

Ok, I have to admit it, the more I tried not to like it, the more I couldn't help myself and it got stuck in my head. It has really grown on me…like a fungus :p

Since I watched the show I have been prone to uncontrollable outbursts of "Eh eh ehhh!", "Computer says no," "Yeah I know," "I want that one," and "I am a lay-dee...I don't have testi-clees." (which of course I don't have, but still! :roll:) It's like I have Little Britain Tourette's syndrome now or something. :roll:

yeah, but no, but yeah,but...don't be giving me evils! ;)

I loved the one skit from "Red Nose Day" where Daffyd interviews Elton John and Elton ends the interview by saying Daffyd couldn't come to his area because Elton "was the only gay in town." :lol:

[CaptainGinger]

You mean Daffyd - he is hilarious! I am... A GAY! :o

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Sorry about that. Call it getting up to f%#$ing early to be posting... :lol:

Over the weekend I rented/watched the bonus discs for series 2 and 3, and the "Little Britain Live" DVD. Now that I've admitted my LB "sickness" ;) , I can't get enough.
As for the Comic Relief 2005 that was included on the series 2 binus disc...I also agree that Elton John telling that daft boy Daffyd "...Because I'm the only gay in that village" was hilarious. But my fave moment from that had to be either when Emily and Florence give Robbie Williams a "laydee" makeover, or when Vicky Pollard goes on the talk show because her long-lost father wants to meet her, but after hearing her speak, he says "I want a DNA test." :lol:
OMG I so can't believe you just said that!

As for Little Britain Live, I think my favorite thing was that after getting projectile vomited on for the umpteenth time, Judy finally got to barf on Maggie. It's about time she got her payback! :roll:

Although, the Des K sketch was a little "embarassing" for me to watch (for the guy having his pants pulled down and then being recorded and put on a DVD for millions of people around the world to see. :o )
But I loved the Lou and Andy sketch at the beginning. I love them, I swear if it was the Lou and Andy show I'd still watch it all the time.

I don't usually dress up for halloween, since I don't have anywhere to go, but since I need a wheelchair to go out anyway (unfortunately, unlike Andy, I can't jump out of mine and run around and do amazing athletic feats :roll:) I am seriously thinking of dressing um...down, as Andy Pipkin this year. The only thing that will take some work is the hair...I'll have to get a lighter brown wig and wear a hat over it, cause I doubt I could find a half-bald wig like his hair. And I have to wear my own glasses to see, so I wont have the big coke bottle things like he wears. But I still think it would be funny. Nobody I know in real life has ever seen Little Britain, though, so the humor of the outfit will be lost on them.

I can't get enough of the "I'm a laaaaady" sketches and the "ehhh ehhh ehhh" girl. The one where she'd written MERY XMAS in, well, brown malodorous stuff, on the wall still has me in stitches when I think about it. I freely admit, at the age of 52, that my sense of humor stopped developing when I was 10.

My least favorite are the chav girl sketches, Vicky Pollard.
Too much chavglish, too fast.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I love the "ehhh-ehhh" lady myself. :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I finally got Season 3 of "Little Britain" and was horrified that they seemed to pull the brakes on most of the characters. Anyone know if there is a Season 4 out of coming out in the near future ???

[Bangers&MrMash]

Looks like they pulled the plug at 17 epis and 3 seasons. I could certainly do with more. The Brits don't like to run things into the ground I reckon. They did the same with another big fave of mine, The Royle Family.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Damned it !!!!!! :(

We do too LOL:confused:

ROTLMAO !!!! :emotlol:

[minki]

I hate to admit it, but I'm starting to get into Little Britain. It grows on you.

I agree with Captain Ginger: I love the sketches with Daffyd :D

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

The sketches with Sebastian and the Prime Minister are hilarious as well !!!
