Just curious if any of my fellow dot netters ever watch this cult classic?
It's a crazy show and I have no real explanation why it is so funny but I find it hilarious.
A guilty pleasure.. Kinda like french kissing a third cousin or something.. 8-)

Sad that Shitty Bill and Phil Collins both passed away recently, though. I'll miss the mustard tiger.

TPB's, for what it is, is pretty well written imo. A solid mockumentary.
Peep Show is another of my favs. But it's really an all or one show. You either like it, or it sucks.
If anyone has any suggestions for great viewing that is out of market, I'd appreciate it.

Comic Strip presents is a good one from the early 80's in the UK. Best episode is "Mr. jolly lives next door". Also, 'A Bit of Fry and Laurie' is pretty funny, too.

If you think IT Crowd is weird humour, then there are a couple of BBC shows that you have to watch - League of Gentlemen and Psychoville. I love IT Crowd (the "Countdown" episode is one of the funniest things I have ever seen), but it's not even in the foothills of weird compared to those shows.
I also met a group of Americans who thought another UK comedy, The Mighty Boosh, was fantastic. I never really thought that would work for America, but they loved it (although for some reason they thought it was German).

IT crowd is next on my list after Saxondale, which for some reason I find funny.

Saxondale is probably Steve Coogan's weakest show.

Nah, what was that other character - Tony Ferrino?

Childish but fantastic. They even made a film.

Here's my impersonation of EVERY episode of the Inbetweeners:
"Fanny arse tits wank clunge bollocks wanker"
Or some variation of the above.
