Current British comedy is terrible.

Third option: Japanese British Comedy

1/2 of British comedy is drier than a 60 year old feminist dyke's cunt.

>Mock the Week had some good moments.
My problem with this show was that it was like watching autistic kids playing D&D and competing for the most attention. Plus a lot of the regulars had gimmicks I don't like. Frankie "Hurr durr I'd titty fuck the Queen so edgy lol" Boyle and Russell "I am in my thirties but still find ur mum jokes funny" Howard are two of the most annoying people to ever appear on television.

>> No.8700829 [DELETED] 

I can't watch British comedy at all.

It's fine in written form, though.

And what are meaning by "Japanese comedy"? Shit like, say, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou has me in stitches every week, but things like their stand-up are really really really hit-or-miss, and the associated TV shows are ridiculous at best.

British. Japan just cannot do humor.

>> No.8701099

>>8700809

Agreed.

However this is mostly modern British humour.

Part of the problem is that anything "Un-PC" is automatically funny. The reason Un-PC things are funny is because it reminds of us a time when things like that were in common dialogue and how absurd that was, rather than the way the Daily Mail readers think it is. But either way purely saying something offensive on it's own doesn't make it funny.

I'm not sure how to describe the wider problem with comedians aside from saying it's like they're playing on easy modo or something. It's just kind of juvenile, but not necessarily in the potty mouth kind of way.

US comedy is pretty bad and has been bad for much longer than UK comedy.

The 90s were great for UK & Irish comedy, IMO.

Four words:

Shooting Stars.
Red Dwarf.

Red Dwarf got abysmal when whichever one of them it was left. Turned into hard-on jokes and made the characters one-dimensional as fuck (which is saying something when they were fairly standard archetypes to begin with).

The 2000s were terrible but I really like Phoenix Nights. It was just fun. I hope Peter Kay doesn't go solo George Lucas style and make a terrible movie. Which he will. The dick.

it was fine until Season 8, and even Season 8 was still pretty good, just different.

Decent British comedy stopped being good the second it turned into "insulting / un-PC / lewd jokes = comedy".

Two Ronnies are still the greatest act in the world as far as I'm concerned, it was witty and intelligent wordplay delivered hand in hand with some fantastic body language.

Blackadder is pretty great too, a lot of it relies upon the insulting nature of Blackadder, but it's done well, unlike modern stuff.

Modern British comedy is indeed shit.

This is a good of a thread to ask.

I have been searching around all day for episodes of ギャグマンガ日和 and there seems to be NONE around anywhere. All I managed to find is some shitty torrent with barely any seeds.

Why is it so difficult to find any?

Western comedy:
"I just saw that movie yesterday!"
"Really? What was it about?"
"Oh it was about 90 minutes"
*Audience laughs*
Japanese comedy:
"I just saw that movie yesterday!"
"Really? What was it about?"
"Oh it was about 90 minutes"
"To say such a thing all of a sudden! I'm not talking
about the length!"
