Animals was good, politics was good
The Office Was genre defining, extras wasn't bad and I haven't seen much since.

Alt: I've been to a few, comics always seem funnier in person than on telly. Ross Nobel was brilliant live, but i never rated him at all on his telly work, you need the atmousphere.

I put it to you that 'genre defining' is the kind of almost-wholly-meaningless drivel
spouted by critics such as Paul Ross.

The office is the reason you see so many cringe type comedies, without specific "jokes"
I put it to you that are not worthy of humming on Paul Ross's balls let alone taking his name in vain.

Pretty much
Although Alan partridge might be the modern genisis. Without either of these I doubt we would have 'The Thick of It' which is genius

2nd series of Partridge is one of the top five sitcoms of all times I'd say.
Easily as funny as Fawlty Towers and about 85 million times more so than that awful Hancock fellow so beloved of wankers like Paul Merton.

Tosh.
By his own admission Gervais's whole 'thing' is Larry David's 'thing' but not done by Larry David.

He is superb live, isn't he?

I bet it was really annoying for all those people who scoffed when he said he would do stand up
and he turned out to be pretty good at it.

Nerble is cut from the same God-awful 'I'm just so RANDOM' cloth as that oaf Noel Fielding.
'Imagine, right, a moonkeh, right, on a mer-ped' etc.

Really easy to do, not very witty and student-waki in the extreme. He's a cunt.

Did you see Noel Fielding interview Damien Hirst?
he was such a fucking embarrassing fan boy he practically tried to force feed Hirst his jizz

That never quite made it onto my 'to watch' list for two reasons.
1. D Hirst
2. N Fielding
