Has there ever been a funnier sketch show?

Genius and ended at the right time

Also - have you seen the DVD of the stage show?

Here is a taster;

No.

Simple as that. It's the best sketch show ever, the sketch show to end all sketch shows.

I was going to post it when I saw the mary whithouse experience thread (got me thinking of paul

)

it was funny in its time, when I was about 14. A lot of it I don't find funny at all anymore though.

big train, that was funny too.

yes, now THAT is truly hillarious.

Green wing you could say was a type of sketch show, that was fucking good too.

Has anyone seen Man/Woman? Thats quite good.

(I actually changed it to big train because I got mixed up, smack the pony was ok - big train was simon pegg)

Man/Woman is top quality - the best I've seen for many years.

big train was another one I used to watch when I was younger, used to love it.

The best sketch was one where Mark Williams played the ukelele (ala George Formby) and then did songs with swear words in. I've only ever seen it the once when it was first on.

Good. But not quite on the same level as Catherine Tate.

nidgemo · « **Reply #19 on:** July 14, 2007, 08:16:11 pm »

used to love it, but it's dated REALLY badly.

Smack the Pony has stood the test of time much better.

Party Phil · « **Reply #20 on:** July 14, 2007, 08:27:37 pm »

Stuff like the Fast Show seems more dated because it was so good at the time and has been ripped off by everyone. Smack the Pony was always shit so nobody copied it.

"Where's me washboard? "

Nice one Andy, I was going to start a 'Fast Show' thread but I should have known
you would have got in there first ( Mr. Threadstarter )

The 'Fast Show' was/is the best sketch show I've ever seen.
The fact that so many catchphrases got into peoples vocabularies
so quickly is testament to the success of the show,
Paul Whitehouse is a comic genius imo.

The Harry Enfield Show was also top notch at times, I've been enjoying the
re-runs on UKTV.

one of my faves,

I watched last night, laughed my tits off at the very topical sketch of the Arsenal daytripper fan who sat with a picnic basket and knew fuck all about football, I can think of more than a few times I've seen similar at Anfield in the last couple of years.

I loved the one where after a band stood in silence he turns and instead of his usual 'nice', says "Shite".

This ones classic too

Well Paul, hanging wallpaper is also very much like making love to a beautiful woman. Clean all the relevant surfaces, spread her out on the table, cover her with paste, and stick her up. Then you clean your brush, light your pipe, stand back and admire your handiwork.

Phil M · « **Reply #35 on:** July 15, 2007, 11:46:05 pm »

The show is great because of the strength of performers they had, all the cast are superb.

Here's a quick run through the characters:

On a sidenote has anyone seen the show live when they toured?

gibber_blot · « **Reply #36 on:** July 16, 2007, 09:14:01 am »

Very good show, although many of the characters were over done I reckon. The 'suits you sir', 'this season I will mostly be wearing..', Ted, etc., all were funny the first one or two times, but got old too quickly.

One of my favs (I don't know if this has been posted already) is the dad playing cricket with his sons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkhpnrGBTRc
