Can't sleep? Try new proven method.
« on: March 21, 2008, 02:07:20 AM »
Ever had trouble sleeping? I have tell me about it, it sucks. Well I have been looking for the ultimate cure in not-being-able-to-sleep and I stumbled upon the perfect remedy, British Comedies! That's right, if you're ever having trouble falling asleep, just tune your Satelite to BBCA and after 20 minutes of British Comedy, you'll be sleeping like a baby. But don't take my word for it, listen to these amazing Testimonials.

Random Internet dude had this to say:
"Man I used to stay up all night trolling internet forums, just because I couldn't sleep. I tried everything, sleeping pills, counting sheep, the whole nine yards man, well one day I was wathcing this flipping through the channels and I happened to stop on BBCA and let me tell you, just 15 minutes of that dry British humor and I was fast asleep, thanks Great Britain, you saved me from endless nights of needlessly trolling internet forums"


Young Teenage Girl had this to say:
"Let me tell you, I used to like stay up all night texting, like everybody I knew for hours on end, all because I was having trouble sleeping. See I couldn't sleep because I, like, had so much, you know like pressure on me to like do drugs and smoke weed and like oh yeah homework and stuff liek that. Well my sisters, brothers, cousins, baby's daddy's aunt's nephew told me about these British comedies that helped them sleep, and I like, gave it a try and like wow it totally worked. I was like all fresh for skipping school the next day and like totally full of energy, thanks British Comedies your the best!" *winks*


*announcer*

So if you're having trouble sleeping and don't want to risk becoming dependent on prescription sleep aides, then you have to try new and improved British Comedies.

*fast talking deep voiced commercial guy*

I like Doctor Who, but that's the limit of my British tolerance. Oh and 28 days/weeks latter. And the Hole, I like that movie also. But their comedies, ugh.

British Comedies are definitely an acquired taste. For me some work tremendously, others fail. For example, I LOVE Red Dwarf. I got hooked on it back when capamerica and S_B introduced the series to me.

But then I saw an episode of Coupling because everyone in the group couldn't stop raving about it. I admit I was both somewhat drunk and tired, but all I know is that by the end I was "Huh???"

Oh yeah, last summer I saw "Blackadder" (Rowan Atkinson's main comedy series), but I was on and off  so I can't say anything about it. I do remember that S_B had to explain some of the jokes to me...

BBCA is awesome. Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is better than the American version, and The Office is just as funny as the US version, regardless of if you get "British" humor or not. Also, the news on there isn't as filtered and self-serving as it is here in the US. Shame on you for talking down on BBCA, shame on you.

Coupling is pure trash and an insult to the entire nation of the United Kingdom.
League of Gentlemen
Blackadder
Black Books
Monty Python
Fawlty Towers

The Office

these shows are all unstoppable and off the hook.

First time I hear this. In my group of friends the show is a hit and consider it to be a great take on the "Friends" formula. Like I said, I only saw one episode and I wasn't in the right mood so I can't exactly agree or disagree.

Oh yeah, I forgot to comment on Monty Python. I've only seen two of their movies (Holy Grail and Meaning of Life) and missed the TV show completely, but the movies were BRILLIANT in their lunacy.

Ask S_B and he'll tell you how I kept quoting the Fishy fish scene from Meaning of Life. That scene was so messed up, but so funny!

"Fishy, Fishy, Fishy OH!!!" XD

I'm a huge Monty Python fan, I watch the show whenever I see it on and I have all the movies on DVD, but I still have yet to watch Meaning of Life. I've had it on DVD for over 3 years but I just haven't gotten around to it.

The Office is the greatest thing to ever hit television screens ever. Extras while brilliant can't hold its own when faced with The Office juggernaut. I'm just hoping Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant collaborate again soon.

You need to see The Life of Brian (oh, and the TV series, I'm working my way through that at the moment). Awesome stuff.

I've never fully watched any of the Monty Python work, but this has always cracked me up.
Extras is ok, but I think it is funnier when watching the bloopers and to see how much Ricky Gervais laughs at the little things.

First off notice the AMERICAN INFOMERCIAL tone of my first post, hence the reason, again, why it is here in the Fun house and not in General Chat. I was tired and making my own Americanized jab at British Comedies. Now if I wanted a serious discussion about Comedy, I wouldn't be on the internet.

I'm well aware the mockery in this post, rat. But considering British comedy has a following in the States can you blame use for discussing our favorite shows?

It looks to me that you are upset that no one paid attention to the joke and decided to discuss the one thing you were mocking.

In short, this thread is made of fail ;) .

Have you listened to The Ricky Gervais Show? It's a podcast starring Ricky Gervais, Steve Merchant and Karl Pilkington. It costs some money but it's worth every penny.

The only comedy I ever watched that came from Canada was You Can't Do That On Television. Besides that I used to watch Degrassi, the old one not the new one.
