Thread: British Humor

Gent's - having grown up in a few common wealth country's... and Scotland , I have a thing for British sensibility's. Recently I have discovered this show:

Watch Peep Show online | Free | Hulu

The first episode was ok, but by the second... I was hooked. Now I can't get enough. Just thought I would share in case any of you was looking for something different to watch.

I will say this as a little bit of a cautionary guide - if you aren't completely confident in your Faith - parts of this show may offend you. Remember, many Brits are existentialists.

Happy Viewing!

Never seen that one, but I love BBC shows. The IT crowd, The Mighty Boosh, Dr. Who, Monty Python, I could go on forever. A friend of mine makes fun of me for watching those shows ... I make fun of him for not wearing a top hat.

Cannot be watched outside USA :-(

Do a google.co.uk search for channel 4 on demand (known as 4OD). You may be able to watch it there.

If you like british humour also search for something called Mrs Browns Boys that can be found on the BBC on demand website.

Couldnt agree more about British humour being good... but then again im biased as i am a Brit.

Peep Show is one of my favorites. IMHO it peaks in series 3 and 4 - the characters and humour are fully developed, and they aren't weighed down by too much previous back-story. But I'll still watch series 8 when that's broadcast next year.

(It's not really family viewing, BTW.)

Peep show is great. In their own special style, British humor and TV series in general are one of the finest. Too many to mention here.

Just today i watched at work the legendary episode where mr. Claude Jeremiah Greengrass got drunk, as usual, and stole a locomotive. That goes into history.

Wow where have I been! I guess I am just glad that I have finally been exposed! And yes it's true that it isn't really family viewing! A ton of F-balms (shaving joke lol), and even some nudity at times.

That said here is their take on Scooby Doo! Loved it.

You'd probably like That Mitchell and Webb Look too, though it is sketch comedy and I know some people prefer a story (sitcom, or whatever people call it).

James.

I more or less gave up watching TV and movies but two of my favorite British shows from years ago were Fawlty Towers and Benny Hill. Movies such as The Ladykillers with Alec Guinness and a young Peter Sellers, Terry Thomas in the "Carry On" series. Not sure any of you are old enough to remember that stuff.
