Haven't we established much common ground already?
Big Bang Theory is fookin' brilliant
Peep Show is very funny in a slightly too willfully obtuse way
Gavin and Stacey I haven't actually seen, never appealed and once it got over-hyped I was keen to avoid as James Corden annoys the fuck out of me
Vicar of Dibley can fuck right off

ok, you check out
don't bother watching gavin and stacey, it's fucking dreadful

Thank you
and thank you. Wasn't going to, but it's good to know that I was right not to - our tastes seem compatible enough for your opinion to count for more than anyone I know who actually likes it. Most of them like Vicar of Dibley too.

OK, acid test. South Park.

south park is fucking awesome
far cleverer than most things on tv

Damn
You were doing so well
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 12:59, Reply)

Some of South Park is amazing
Wait... am I agreeing with Vipros here?

fuck

I agree too
I used to hate it and think it childish, but some of the more recent series have been really quite witty.

3rd funniest British sitcom ever apparently
according to some poll. A poll clearly asking people who say things like, "Do I like music? Yeah I love a really good mix of things me: Abba, Take That, Leona Lewis."
( djtrialprice, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 12:57, Reply)

Yeah, a few years ago UK Gold threw up about 10 all-time greats and asked the public to vote
Fuck knows why they included Dibley. I assume it's because they were showing it round the clock, and were having trouble getting hold of the licencing for Black Books, The Office and Red Dwarf

Edit: Rampant speculation. Which is the best kind.

Inbetweeners is fucking awesome
I'll bring you a dvd at the bash if you want.
( Peej, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 12:55, Reply)

bit puerile though
a bit not very funny style puerile unlike Bottom.
( djtrialprice, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 12:58, Reply)

I'm not sure I'd like if for this reason

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 12:59, Reply)

Puerile in that it revolves around a group of 17-year-old schoolboys
It's very well-written and well-observed. You'll definitely wince in recognition but you'll piss yourself as well
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 13:01, Reply)

me neither, it's not much cop

( djtrialprice, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 13:01, Reply)

I disagree
I think its great. I worked in a sixth form and its exactly how the sixth formers acted. Reminds me of me when I was 17.
( Peej, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 13:01, Reply)

I don't want to see people acting how people actually act though
I hate people.

All 17 year olds are dicks

I really enjoyed it
although the older you get, the more bitter you get about how you're not that age anymore. That's why I don't watch Skins.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 13:04, Reply)

I don't know anyone
who actually lived the life of your average member of the Skins cast when they were 17
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 13:05, Reply)

the same is true of Hollyoaks
but at least the cast is roughly age-relevant, unlike Dawson's Creek, or any American high school thing really, where everyone is obviously 30
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 13:10, Reply)

I'm proud to say that I have no idea whether or not that is true :-)

It's horrendous

( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 13:00, Reply)

Peep Show: Good
Gavin and Stacey: Never seen in my entire life not even a single eppisode evah.
Big Bang Thoery: It's no "How I meet your mother"
Vicar of Dibley: Hellerious, did you see the bit when the vicar, who is fat, and a women, stuffed her face full of chocolate bars when she was upset? Or that time she jumped in a puddle and the puddle went up to her weist? Hahahah, great times were had by all.

how I met your mother is great
at first glance it seems shit, but when you look deeper it is full of genius

awesome
through a combination of scrubs, HIMYM and being mates with a guy who plays ultimate frisbee, high fives have become much more prevalent in my day to day life
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 13:07, Reply)

you should take up team 10-pin bowling
you get to Hi-Five after getting a spare or strike.
( djtrialprice, Tue 23 Mar 2010, 13:10, Reply)

I'm awful at bowling
except on the Wii

particularly because she is quite dirty in that
also, the one who plays Robin is stunning. in the earlier stuff anyway.
