# at what point did 'comdey' become unfunny?
maybe my understanding of what actually makes you laugh has changed?
for example 'the office' was shit... won awards? why? who cares!
+ that ^^^

# ^ this.
and worse, when something funny comes out, the second series is rubbish (a la Mitchell and Webb). Please, God, let them make a good second series of Lab Rats.
It's disturbingly close to some of the things that do happen in a lab...

I watched the first few episodes but I thought it was shite.

in a lab, and I can safely say that Lab Rats was a big pile of shite. The phdcomics site is much better, but far too close to the bone.

# Lab Rats was excellent
on the subject of comedy series, I dearly wish HBO would have given Lucky Louie a 2nd series, fuck me that was a funny show - *every* episode had me in stitches

And yes, I realise it would be stupid to judge an entire show by a 30 second clip, I just meant that was my initial impression, that's all...

# With you on M&W
First season : Good stuff. "Are we the baddies?"
Second season : Let's swear a lot and be offensive and a bit sick-inducing. Maybe it'll cover the lack of jokes.

# You meant 'comedey' sureley!?
Spotted n corrected now anyhoo...

I think basically as this type of comedy tends to be directed at the 16-29 crowd it just SEEMS to get more and more infantile as you get older.

Which it is...

# I think that is a bit harsh.
There are some fucking brilliant comedians around at the moment. Frankie Boyle, Chris Rock, Dara O'Briain. Not to mention the likes of Bill Bailey and Eddie Izzard who are still going strong.

# ok ok
the people on Mock The Week are generally very funny, apart from some of the guest 'contestants'

Frankie Boyle slagging off Kerry Katona at every possible chance is great to watch

basically he picks on people and turns them into a joke... not exactly comedy is it? "hey you're a big fat bloke" - "ha ha ha" ...no Frankie thats just sad... tell some jokes

# no...
actual comedy - like telling jokes make me laugh... pulling the piss out of the audience is armature at best
(I helped save b3ta! SkUG >_O i got a couple of stitches in my eyeball... ow, Fri 27 Mar 2009, 22:57, archived)
# haha, armature.
piss taking is a staple for certain types of comedy. "telling jokes" is probably the type of comedy i like the least, next to puns :(

except for when someone like bill bailey takes a classic joke and subverts it to actually make it funny
