To go with the thread I started for TLoG  I find it amusing to look back on this sort of thing, LOL! Has anyone ever watched this show? LOL it's pretty funny, it's almost similar to the formula that League of Gentlemen works on, in the way they have all these weirdo characters that they look at - however LB is more like a "mock-u-mentary", and isn't just based in one isolated town... L.O.G. is funnier and more messed up, but LB has it's definite funny points My favourite character would have to be Ann... she's just hilarious  But I also like Daffyd (sp?), who claims to be the "only gay in the village" Lou and Andy are pretty funny too, hehe... www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tv/littlebritain/index.shtmlwww.bbc.co.uk/comedy/littlebritain/ Thread started on: Nov 23rd, 2004, 01:51am cultimes.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=tv&action=display&num=1101192681It's also more of a sketch comedy... LOL! Man what was I thinking... Oooh and I didn't put TLOG, only LOG...  Mark would kill me  |

LOL! It took Anne to get me hooked, in all honesty. Once I saw her I just went "OMG That's freaken hilarious!" and had to watch from then on in |

I went on about it so much, I got a lot of my co-workers into it and now they're all very catch-phrasey*, while I'm now "nooo! You need to watch The League of Gentlemen too!" (So I can say Hello Daaaaaaave and not get quizzical looks.)
*we've been through the eh eh eh, yeah I know!, the nobutyeahbutno, the 'bitty', the computer says noooo, and the current one is to randomly say DUST in a Marjorie Dawes voice.

I've been using the Computer Says Nooooo *cough* voice to torture telemarketers."
"Hello, are you the owner of the business"
****long pause****"Naaaaaaaaaoooooo."
"Is the owner of the business in?"
****long pause*****"Naaaaaaaoooooo"
etc etc. It's cruel, but it keeps me amused, which of course, is the only thing that matters.

I never really got into LB.  Don't get me wrong! I do really like it but it doesn't have the drawing power for me to religiously watch it all the time. It's weird for me because I knew the character of Marjory Dawes from Shooting Stars way before LB took off, and a lot of Matt's characters are similar to ones he has played elsewhere. I would like to watch more of it, but it is more of a "I'll watch it if there's nothing better on: type thing fo rme most of the time. *hopes noone hangs her for saying that*  |

I watched one or two episodes here in the first season and loved it but missed the rest as i went overseas, BUT on the flight from London to Toronto they had 2 episodes of Little Britain and i watched it and LITERALLY SCREAMED with laughter at a part in it (i think it was vicky pr seb or anne...i forgot!) and the flight attendant walking past nearly crapped his pants. He just winked at me and said (in a TRES SEXAY english accent) glad to see some people appreciate english humour! i LOVED it, babbled about it to adam on the phone on xmas day and lo and behold when i returned home at the end of janurary he had bought me the DVD for xmas...and i watched it in two days and just loved it.. and i still do...its just lost a little of its shine next to the great and powerful TLOG! |
