Advantages: great humour and some fine smutty wit Disadvantages: Maybe too many series made to keep up the banter?
...History... I chose to watch Two pints as I had previously seen clips of the show, already liking the funny Ralf Little and Sheridan Smith from watching them in the Royle Family…
I have to admit.. as I lay there in bed, watching this show… I was in fear of my sides splitting from laughing so much as the none stop banter blasted though the headphones into my tired brain…constantly trying to stop giggling out loud whilst wiping the tears away from ... ...the program, it was even worse after it had finished… but I didn't care…
I swear I could hear people tutting from the other end of the ward as I lay there crying with laughter and pain… even the nurses were giving me funny looks…
* Anyway… on with the review…
The show, based in Runcorn, Cheshire in England, began as a comedy but soon became more serious as the series went on, although still retaining its very dry sense of humour… Its 63 episodes, ...

Advantages: Genuinely Funny, Original, Great Cast, BBC's Longest Running Comedy Show (Sit-Com) Disadvantages: Acquired Taste, A Bit Crude, Not Everyone's Cup Of Tea
...taking an interest: Retro-Game-Boy!*
Two Pints of larger and a packet of crisps is a BBC comedy for ages 15+ but pitches it main audience at the 16-30 bracket. Containing an assortment of various topics, the main underlying theme focuses on 5 main characters, in the town that they live. In my opinion I think that two pints is the 'Marmite' of comedies, in that true to the saying 'you either love it or hate it'. For me personally, I absolutely despise ... ...many people who don't like Two Pints (as with all comedies, the material is of a personal taste) it has it's fans in the hordes. It is currently (as of January 2007) the longest running comedy (sit-com) show on the BBC. The show spans a full six series at present, with 54 half hour shows in it's library. The show is written by Susan Nickson, who in an early interview revealed that the show (or at least the first series) stole many ideas from her ...

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.

Review of Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps - Series 1-6 - Complete (DVD)
Advantages: laugh out loud British comedy Disadvantages: possibly too rude for someone, definitely kids
This show can now be considered a memorable comedy classic from the BBC in my humble opinion. With series seven as the latest to air and a rumoured series eight, it is questionable though if they are trying to carry it's success too far; however, not to say that series seven was not enjoyable as it definitely was, it just seemed appropriately like the end.
Series 1-6 are easy to watch, enjoyable and hilarious. With the show finding its feet around ... ...one-off musical episode that is definitely one to remember and several twists that, while probably over-the-top, come across as great storytelling with the comedic spark they hold. The core cast are made up of five characters. Likeable chav Janet, her scrawny biscuit-fiend of a boyfriend Jonny, her strong-minded best friend Donna, his sheep-fearing, porn-addict, best friend Gaz and to round out the group is squeaky, blunt, Louise.
The group live ...

Advantages: really, really funny Disadvantages: one continous story, and not really intelligent humour
i would struggle to sit here and review each episode on each disc, and it would probably bore the hell out of you.
so ill keep it brief, this show details the lives of 5 people, in ever degrading and immature situations. its a cross between friends and decaying toilet humour.
if you like any of BBC2s late night humour then is for you, as they try and almost rstrict the viewing audience for their comedy nights.
unless you can appreciate jokes about ... ...this muti pack is probably the cheapest way to get all the series' they always are. but the down side is have 6 series nicely packed, if seris 7 comes out and your a collector your 7th series doesent look so great sat on its own, multi packs are always best when either one of the actors dies or they finally declare the final episodes like friends.
