Miranda on BBC1

People call this comedy?

They should be shot for suggesting such a thing.

nice goal to be fair

It's so bad I'd rather shag her than watch her programme

The eighth and ninth wonders of the world
How the feck has Miranda Hart and Sarah Millican had careers in comedy
seriously who in there right minds would find them funny

Somebody who can use the correct their, there.

Me.

I laugh when I watch Miranda, never seen Sarah Millican.

you missed the has instead of have tmp.

twomatchpoints  - is either a woman or an incredibly thick man.

Which one is it?

only gets commisssioned as she's from a wealthy background. lily allen syndrome.

I quite like it

Me too. There are some truly awful home grown comedies on at the moment, but Miranda isn't bad.

She's very funny.

I think she appeals more to women than men.

signing in as another Miranda fan
Sarah Millican not in her league.

Me too....I like Miranda...maybe too subtle for you , Lamott

Millican gets on my nerves a bit ....

anyone that laughs at this moron miranda has the mentality of a 3 year old imo....watch a bit of alan partridge and you will see a bit of real comedy.....

lamott is probably a fan of 'new comedy'

Any mention of sex, minge t1ts, throw in a lot of swearing, and he probably falls about in hysterics, just before mummy sends him to bed

Miranda - far better than spooning your eyes out...let me get back to you on that

Noosfsfe actodjrgr I fodpdjr dppningf mt wyse ore dunnuer

Is that welsh...?

Vulcan

She is better than Millican but that isn't saying a great deal to be fair. Women just don't do funny, not sure why but they just don't.

But on this occasion you are spectacularly wrong.

I'm working class, and have had more women than you've had hot dinners.

Cheers was a working class comedy was it ? It was funny, but not working class. It's successful spin-off was' Frasier'. A comedy about two brothers who are psychiatrists, really down to earth stuff. Maybe working class in Boston USA (Not Lincolshire)   

I'm a fan of Miranda, Micky Flanagan, Chubby Brown and among others, Eddie Izzard, who is a bit too high brow for you. 

I'm always right.

Miranda is funny.

2 MATCH POINTS - HOW MANY BIRDS HAVE YOU HAD OUT OF INTEREST....

iadiott seething

Started off on radio , sounded good on that .

Howdi - I never counted them

On the other hand, I have a good memory, but as far as I know, I can't remember them all

Epic fail then

lamott

So you don't think 'Who's on first is funny' ?

You need help.

And you state you are a fan of Chubby Brown
hypocrisy of the highest order?

No hypocrisy there at all.

I can watch all sorts of humour.

Some of it makes me LOL, some doesn't.

Miranda is not as funny as Micky Flanagan, but she's still funny.

I rest my case.

2 MATCH POINTS - HOW MANY BIRDS HAVE YOU HAD OUT OF INTEREST....

I was wondering the same thing! I would have a guess at 200.

Still seething

So you think that people older than you have no sense of humour ?

I was right then, you are young.

I don't play dominoes btw, I'm not west indian.

I suppose you think Ken Dodd isn't funny either ?

Perhaps you should start a thread about the 'Who's on first' sketch and see how many like it and how many don't'

Then when the younger generation sign in and say it's crap, you can go to bed happy - bless.

Has he got an bird aviary SlippyBlue?

Tut..tut..jealousy, formed as a stab at humour (I like the immature smileys, even at my age)

When I was young I was fit, in any sense of the word as it seems to mean something different these days. 

Tall, athletic, muscular, good looking, non-drinker. no drugs, so easy to date women. (Those days are over now though)

You, on the other hand, young, spotty, skinny or obese, got a blow up doll or a 5 litre can of chloroform.

You are so busy typing with one hand and masturbating with the other, you missed my 12:06 post

And you state you are a fan of Chubby Brown

FFS at least have some factual humour you old fart
At least I can get it up I bet you cannot find yours anymore
poor bloke

When you ever manage to find a real live breathing woman, not a munter, I don't do munters, if you think I can't 'get it up', get her to meet me. She can take photos if you like, then you can cry yourself to sleep wishing you hadn't sent her.

Okay, I get the message.

You're ugly.

Shame.

I'm not laughing...






























































































much.

Still SEETHING
Epic stuff iadiott.

SGT BILKO-now that is funny

Great thread!

I like Miranda, also a bit worried about her at the moment.

Next toe knee hand c0ck.

I just find her slapstick type of 'comedy' rather embarrassing, and, yes, possibly she may appeal more to a female audience. Someone mentioned that women comedians who are funny are very few and far between and I tend to agree with that, but there is one exception that springs to mind and that is the late Victoria Wood and the one exceptional performance that she did about 25 years ago now, and that was 'An Audience with Victoria Wood'. I found that performance really clever with some magical comedic moments throughout the show. But I didn't find everything that she did since then particularly amusing. Rather patchy in fact.

Don't forget about Hylda Baker

How old are you MG ?

Dinner Ladies was brilliant?

I'm 66 - yes, Dinner Ladies WAS probably brilliant, but brilliant does not always equate to 'funny'. Again I thought it was funny in parts and certainly the acting was good.

I suppose in the end it's down to personal taste - the one sketch that I always looked forward to was 'Acorn Antiques' which I thought was REALLY well done. It did transfer to a West End musical a few years ago which was great (albeit a bit lengthy).

Just not funny.

No doubt she did the standard falling over routine clown stuff which just aint funny

geoff m - exactly!
