Well Given some of the current conversations that are going on over at the other forum, I figured, why not... To be perfectly honest, I love both shows equally. I actually got into them around the same time, and for a while I liked LoG better, then I preferred LB, but now... I just think they're both great, even if some of the stuff on LB can look similar to things/characters from LoG... The guys are all friends though, so it's no surprise that they probably throw ideas around all the time *shrug*

I think it's a bit unfair to say LB is a complete rip off - I think they have been influenced by the league, but then the league have been influenced by many films, so who am I to criticise. LB just isn't for me really, but I can see why people like it. ooo get me, Im not ranting or anything.

LOL Well I only included that "rip off" option because that's what some people really do seem to believe. I don't, myself. But I do acknowledge the similarities. But that could be seen as a form of flattery, couldn't it...?

I like LoG more because it's a lot darker than LB. I do like LB, but I find it a lot more hit and miss with it's humour. Some of it I don't find funny at all, while other bits are hilarious.

True... I like the darkness of LoG... But sometimes I like the light-hearted side of LB as a balance...

Oh I like a good laugh at something ridiculous or gross, but LB sometimes goes too far. For example, I don't like the two posh women who puke all the time. I understand why people find it funny, I just don't.

Definitely not nice... But there are other "gross" things that just had me in stitches, LOL! Particular photos that were shown... (from series 2). OMG...

Even though i loved LB first, and would only need half a second to rip David Walliams clothes off (after all, we ARE going to get married one day... ) i cannot compare it to log now....i adore log with every fibre of my body! Its my most favourite TV show ever...and ive had a few! i cant even EXPLAIN how much i adore log! i mean there are some characters in LB that i like more then some log characters, but on the whole, i like the stories, the funny moments and the way log has an "edge" to it.....

Is Daffyd a complete rip off from Herr Lipp?

hrm, i dont think so....LB said he was based on a contestant on Big Brother who was like that on it and it made them laugh....
i can see similarities in some characters, like marjorie and pauline, but on the whole, i feel LB is very sketchy and write for jokes, while log is more streamlined and story based...
thats probably my most hated thing on LB, some are so one joke (like daffyd and the vomit ladies and that bitty guy etc) and only the situations change not the lines...you know?

Yeah, some of the sketches on LB can become a bit repetitive... But a lot of sketch shows are like that (The Fast Show, although I love that too, hehe...) I just love both though, really. I sort of went through phases with them, and at the moment I'm heavily into tLoG

Log fans tend to moan about the fact that LB is repetitive, but isn't that the whole point? It is a sketch show after all. I think the problem is Log is sort of more intelligent in its execution, and thats why theres a lot of hostility towards LB, which to me seems like a bit of fun, whereas the league take themselves more seriously. Ps, I love love love your new banner SE!

Yeah, exactly... The LoG is more "story" based anyway, so you can't really compare them too much... Why thank you. I was wondering when someone would comment LOL!
