2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps

[Istenem]

that neighbour will drop a coffee cup
her brother will think hyacith wants to sing to him
there will be a covert reference to sheridan being a shirt-lifter
someone phones wanting a chinese takeaway
hyacinth will tell richard to look out for an obstacle miles away...

[Cardinal Sin]

Hyacinth will mention a forthcoming / recently-held "candlelight supper".

Daisy will read some trashy romantic novel and demand sex from Onslow.

Rose would meet some dashingly handsome young man. Failing that, she will try to get fired into Emmet, much to Hyacinth's chagrin.

Hyacinth will get called "Mrs Bucket", wince, and then say "It's bouquet".

....

It's comedy by numbers... can't think of any show that's worse for wheeling out the same jokes and punchlines every week...

In fact I can, 'Allo 'Allo...

.........

"Aw... my dicky ticker"...
"You stupid woman"...
"Listen very carefully, I will say this only once"
"Would you like to come for a ride in my little tank?"
"Ze flashing bedknobs!!!!"
"Good moaning"
"Heil-e Mussolini"
"The fallen Madonna with the big boobies by Van Clomp"


I'm sure I've missed quite a lot!?

[Mattb]

The guy who never bother saying Hitler in full.....instead saying 'TLER!'

I'm sure no-one could make that one out, i saw 'Allo 'Allo on comedy connections the other night, brought back some good memories! (Says the 20 year old :P )

I laugh more at the stuff in Demmerz's Arms.

Careful now! Folk might read between the lines!!

I think Two Pints is great, which is an odd thing to say as I am neither unemployed nor a student. It does, however, come across as 'honest' - if there are bad jokes they are there for a reason. I don't like Ralph Little much either but I do like the others.

I can't put my finger on it but there is something about the show that is earning it a bizarre cult status.

[Fader]

Absolutely awful obvious comedy......designed for people who can't understand decent wit and humour (e.g The Office, Alan Partridge).

Anyone who finds it funny has a screw loose if you ask me!

Matt

well seens as you say so, must be

[Mattb]

It's true though!

Comedy for the masses....people who read the sun and the like. The best comedy always has been dry, sly and witty. Stuff like:

Not The Nine O'Clock News
Blackadder
Alan Partridge
The Office
Monty Python
Fast Show

That's all opinion of course. All of those above have classic status....Two pints definitely doesn't.

Matt

[Demmerz]

Yes but it does have a cult status - which is just as important to the producers. I'd like to point out that I do not read the abhorration that is The Sun or any of the gutter pres, for that matter. I reckon there's some good writing and it's easy watching - come back from the pub, settle down and on comes Two Pints - that's why it's on so late. Now I have defended it, I would also like to point out that it is not in my top 20 list of comic shows. (I wrote 'Comic' you'll notice... not comedic!!)

Brass Eye is tremendoulsy funny remember 'Sutcliffe - The Musical', 'Cake' or the 'Trust Me Trousers'?? Brilliant.

[Fader]

IMO its a really good show, but i also really like alan partridge, office, fast show,my family etc etc aswell

the true comedies i miss the most are men behaving badly (quality) and
only fools and horses, but it seems all the best shows end up finishing, leaving shit like coronation street to watch in the evenings.

[Debz]

I think its great

[drop the lot]

father ted, only fools and horses, auf wiedersehen pet (early series ) phoenix nights, faulty towers and the royal family all great........end off

[Matt Vinyl]

Don't really watch that much TV now, but used to love:

Dads Army
Fawlty Towers
Laurel & Hardy - Class!
Any Sid James comedies...

...And of course the great Only Fools...

Trouble is, I know every line off by heart, it's painful to watch 'em sometimes now...
