Completely Hilarious

Advantages: Laugh Out Loud Funny, Great Characters Skethced Out
Disadvantages: Not Appealing To All (See Review)

...below http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000GYHU12/ref=cmcrdpallhelpful?ie=UTF8&coliid=&showViewpoints=1&colid=&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending Two Pints is an on-going, on-growing comedy sit com broadcast by the BBC (usually BBC3 these days) about the ups and downs of a group of friends living up North in Britain (Runcorn to be exact.) It follows the triumphs and deceits of the friends and captures the warmth and vulnerability of being ...
...apply in the case of Two Pints. If you get it, then you will love it and savor it for the comedy gold that it is. If you don't, then you will probably just find it immature and vile. I love the show and have purchased the boxset for the first reason. I also think, whilst being simple in some places the show carries a deeper meaning under the concept of being in your face. The characters are very real and you actually do come to laugh and cry with ...

Review of Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps - Series 1-6 - Complete (DVD)

Great comedy at a great price

Advantages: So much content
Disadvantages: Boring DVD menus

...all of the wonderful eddie izzards material in an unbelievably cheap box set i couldn't believe it. If you have seen his stuff before you will know what to expect but if you have not where have you been. With some of the most original material ever, some others only dream they can make up. Bits such as Death Star Canteen have been widley parodied on the internet and with just couse. His impressions of God (as James Mason) often occur throughout the ...

Review of Eddie Izzard - MMVI - Unrepeatable/Definite Article/Glorious/Dressed To Kill/Circle/Sexie (Box Set) (DVD)

3 Non Blondes

Advantages: Hilarious provided me with non stop laughter
Disadvantages: Doesn't really meet everybody's tastes and not everyone finds it funny.

3 Non Blondes was screened on BBC3, a channel that isn't watched by that many people compared to many other TV Channels. However, when i watched one episode of this comical, reality show it caught my attention immediately. The show features 3 big, black women let loose on the streets. The girls dress up and perform on camera with members of the public, who are unknowingly starring in a tv show. What makes this show so funny, apart from the great ...
...shame, is the public reaction to the women. The public's faces are a real treat, and even if you don't find all the sketches featured very funny the public reaction will make you laugh. I loved sitting down, turning this show on and not knowing what was to happen. The three women are so spontaneous with what they do, their personalities are reflected through their public performances and it adds magic to the show. I am aware that the the sketches ...

Review of 3 Non Blondes (DVD)

Working class comedy that holds a mirror up to the masses

Advantages: funny
Disadvantages: none

...box-set is made up of the three series, and the bonus ‘Queen of Sheba’. I paid £50 for this when it first came out, so it’s now a real bargain at just £15. The Royle Family is a TV sitcom which focuses on the lives of the Royles, a working class family from Manchester. Series 1 is made up of 6 half hour episodes. It is shot with one camera, and has no studio audience or canned laughter. The show begain in 1998, and heralded a big change in TV. ...
...place in the Royle's house, where the family sit around watching TV and chatting. In a nutshell: nothing really happens. The major strength of the show is found in the dialogue, which is extremely witty. Series one revolves around the planning of Dave and Denise's wedding. Played by Craig Cash and Caroline Aherne (who also wrote the show) these two are one of TVs most lovable couples. Dave is a dopey removal man, completely gormless, and Denise ...

Review of The Royle Family Album - The Complete Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

The Funniest Box Set, Ever.

Advantages: A collection of all the great Monty Python movies
Disadvantages: Some movies, ie., Monty Python and the Meaning of Life, have no extra features

Monty Python films are absolutely hilarious. I feel that, without a doubt, they are some of the finest movies ever made. At the time, I had only seen Monty Python and the Meaning of Life and I adored it, so when I saw the box set I thought "Fantastic!" and bought it, along with one of the CDs, within a week. Here's my review. This review focuses mainly on the content of the boxset rather than the films themselves, though I will include sections ...
...Obviously, with Monty Python, the films are all meant to be humourous, and I agree that they are incredibly funny. I personally found Monty Python and the Meaning of Life to be the best of the four, and found Monty Python and the Holy Grail - which is the all-time favourite of probably 90% of the people that've seen the movies - to be my least favourite, as I found it unfunny mostly, and a waste of time. I have only seen it once, and that was when ...
