Advantages: funny, easy to understand
Disadvantages: may offend some people

Ali G; Britain's stupidest character created by one of Britain smartest comedians. Ali G is one of the many characters played by Sasha Baron Cohen. This particular incarnation is my personal favourite. Ali G is, basically, an idiot. He comes out with a of stupid comments and numerous comments that are sexist and homophobic. Ali G's rise to fame came on the 11 o'clock show many years ago. All he did there was to give interviews in the way that only ...
...After all this came Ali G; Indahouse. This was a film where Ali becomes a politician and tries to change things for the better. The film starts in a comical fashion. Two women are being harassed by some men and he comes to their rescue. These few men suddenly turn into loads of men and start shooting at him. Obviously he dodges all the bullets in his own stupid way and even manages to save a child in the process. This one scene basically warms you ... Read review

Advantages: Very funny and articulate
Disadvantages: May not be suitable for some

Russell Brand grew up in Essex and first came to fame with the hit channel 4 show Big Brothers Big Mouth (a spin off from the actual show Big Brother) He was recognised by his outrages behaviour, dress sence and articulate language. The 33 year old Russell became a big hit and now does his own stand up shows. The DVD "Doing life" is hilarious throughout. If you are easily offended then i suggest you do not watch it, on the other hand if you are ...
...up was performed at the Hackney Empire in London very close to his home town. The time duration of the DVD is approximately 1 hour and 2 mins and the certificate of the DVD is 18 (not surprisingly). He talks about being a child, family holidays and what time he used to go to bed. What i found endearing was the affectionate mockery of his mother and father when he described what it was like growing up with divorced parents. He is also not ashamed ... Read review

Advantages: It's hysterical
Disadvantages: Only six episodes in series 1

...just as brilliant. IT has the same basic theme ... teenage disaters but the characters are slightly less cool which gives rise to even more laughs. The main character , will , has just moved from a posh private school to the local high school, as his parents have divorced. The first episode sees his hysterical attempts to make friends. He manages this ...just and although their not the cool kids thier better than the geeks. Following episode see ...
...and stoy out of the way of the school bully. There is both obvious and dry humour and anyone under 30 will watch this and remember similar events from there own school days. You will totally be able to empathise with the characters, laugh at them, cringe at them and hope they get the girls. If you are a skins fan then you will definately enjoy this, as the more natural characters gives more scope for embarrassing situations. If you weren't into skins ... Read review

Advantages: Wonderful show able to deliver minute-by-minute laughs
Disadvantages: none

...finally over! The similarities between How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) and Friends are obvious from the start. Both US sitcoms are about a group of friends who are in their twenties. Both sets of characters live in apartments in New York and spend what seems to be an unhealthy amount of their time either in the same café (Friends) or in the same bar (HIMYM.) However, the similarities all but end there. I certainly did not watch the TV series or the ...
...What is equally credible is how the shows writers are able to flourish under the pressure of continuing the shows hook. The "reverse love story" theme keeps you watching to find out the identity of the kid's mother and Ted's future wife. But the writers are unable to know the exact number of series that the show is going to commissioned for and as such are forced to keep the show flexible, it seems that neither the audience nor the writers know whether ...
