whats the best comedy u have ever seen and why

re: comedy poll
 

Well for me the best comedy is you at the moment. It might be a good idea to learn to spell, punctuate and write proper sentences before starting five threads at once on Accyweb.

Re: comedy poll
 

By the way, welcome to Accy Web, Forza.

Re: comedy poll
 

Oh good gum drops somebody else who cant spell:D

Re: comedy poll
 

At least no one is saying you shouldn't post on here until you learn to spell, Jay.

Re: comedy poll
 

The difference is that Jaysay usually has something interesting to say behind the malapropisms. I notice that one of Forza's threads has already been removed, I assume because it was written in textspeak rather than English.

Re: comedy poll
 

Forza is new to the site. Welcome him rather than dismissing him.

Re: comedy poll
 

He has another thread for that. My comment was meant to be informative and helpful rather than dismissive. I am sure I am not the only one who was irritated by his style or lack of it. I would suggest dipping a toe in the water is preferable to a scattergun approach of multiple threads but all these are only my opinion.

Re: comedy poll
 

Hell I would still be waiting to make my first post Michael, ya can't teach an old dog new tricks I learnt my short comings about 60 years ago:D

Re: comedy poll
 

Informative when you are attacking his spelling, punctuation, writing proper sentences and style? Pull the other one.

Re: comedy poll
 

It's difficult to say what the best comedy you've ever seen is. At the moment mine is Mrs. Brown's boys which has me crying with laughing for the first time for ages!

Re: comedy poll
 

Yes, welcome, Forza. (Why the Italian username?)

We recently had a thread on here called "Are registered members frightening?" - from the reaction to one of Forza's very first posts by Sue I should imagine that the answer would be "Yes" by this particular new member. A bit out of order i think...especially considering her remark in post #46 of that thread:
"It may be my attitude that has helped me get along so well here but it's also the thought of a community out there who are very caring about someone they may never meet."

Back to the commedy - I am a lover of old fashioned 70's commedy, The Good Life, To the Manor born, The Rise and fall of Reginald Perrin etc. also love the Blackadder series...

Re: comedy poll
 

Well I for one would leave Accyweb tomorrow or even today if all posts fell to the standard of the five threads started simultaneously by this member. Just because it's a caring community doesn't mean I have to care for everyone in it.

Re: comedy poll
 

In some way your right and in some way your wrong susie, when I saw these post at first (especially one) I just though if you want to use text speak join facebook, but some people joining this site are clearly wind up merchants who, well quite frankly don't last long, they either sod of of their own accord or get banned simples;)

Re: comedy poll
 

John you put it exactly right and better than I ever could. Glad someone understands what I'm getting at. I think the thread started with textspeak was deleted straight away.

Re: comedy poll
 

Doesn't hurt to give people a chance...

There has been a lot of good comedy - Blackadder, Dad's Army and Fools & Horses to name three. As for the reason they are funny I have no idea. One comedy that wouldn't get in my top 100 would be On The Buses. It was just dirty old men letching over girls. As funny as having piles

Re: comedy poll
 

I always take notice of W. C. Fields mobertol, never give a sucker an even break, because if you do they usually come back and give you a kick up the backside:rolleyes:

Re: comedy poll
 

Where is the Poll?

Re: comedy poll
 

Lol that just about sums up this person's threads - there isn't one.

Re: comedy poll
 

Had completely forgotten Reg Varney & co.! Not my cup of tea either thogh I did love The Liver Birds and Are you being served!:)
Dad's army is classic too...

Are you being served wasn't in my top ten. I couldn't abide John Inman

Re: comedy poll
 

Probably didn't know how to put one on the thread -I struggled with my first attempts and had to ask Neil to intervene when i tried to put a poll -he was very understanding and accomodating.

No-one is born all-seeing and all-knowing...

Have looked at his profile and the posts he's made - seems like a young person who's trying to find his feet - easy to knock over. Give him a chance...

Re: comedy poll
 

Why ever not? So auto-ironic!

Loved Mrs Slocum's "Pussy" too -so very naughty but still family entertainment:D

All the other characters were fine it was just that little prat Inman. Steptoe and Son was another classic as well as Married With Children

Re: comedy poll
 

Hated Steptoe - don't remember the other...

Married with Children was an American sit com from the 90s. There are clips on YouTube. Just search for Al Bundy. It's very funny. Any others you want to throw into the mix?

Re: comedy poll
 

Must have missed it Clayton, lived full-time in Italy since 1987!:)

Re: comedy poll
 

Lol? I thought text speak wasn't allowed.

Re: comedy poll
 

Never text -don't know how to do it myself...it's just an abbreviated form of language I suppose.

Re: comedy poll
 

I think you missed whose use of lol I was referring to!

Re: comedy poll
 

Okay Michael if you're referring to lol you'd be hard pushed to find a forum where it wasn't used. Wikipedia calls it "a common element of Internet slang" along with lmao, rotfl and pms.

I don't text either, no wish to, don't know how to.

Re: comedy poll
 

Let's bring movies into this. Planes, Trains and Automobiles starring Steve Martin and John Candy is a film comedy I never tire of. The same applies to Laurel and Hardy's short films (their full-length films don't quite do it for me).

Planes Trains and Automobiles is a top comedy film. I like all the Laurel and Hardy films. Timeless humour. Good shout

Re: comedy poll
 

Love the bathroom scene in the motel - where Steve Martin ends up with the tiny towel!

Got the LOL! comment -quite right too!:D

Still think you have to give people time -I'm never brilliant in new company.

Re: comedy poll
 

If I do send someone a text I always write out words in full. No Lols for me! It's handy in a work context. For instance, one of my jobs is to check our drivers' driving licences every six months. A text sent at night prompts them to find it there and then and bring it in the following day.

Re: comedy poll
 

Steve Martin makes me want to throw up.

Re: comedy poll
 

Me too! And Jim Carey!

Re: comedy poll
 

Oh yes!

John Candy is very funny. Uncle Buck is another classic comedy film

Re: comedy poll
 

Yes, I liked that one too. I hope no one throws up. It's not very ladylike!

Re: comedy poll
 

John Candy was wonderful and sadly missed, all his films were very funny especially Uncle Buck, and Richard Prior and the Belushi guy from the Blues Brothers. As for the throwing up even us ladies have our limits of endurance!

Re: comedy poll
 

prime ministers question time on the bbc great comedy viewing labour and tories a good double act

Re: comedy poll
 

Obviously you weren't free:D

Re: comedy poll
 

Can't stand Jim Carey, to me he's has funny as tooth ache:rolleyes:

Re: comedy poll
 

If any of had to earn their living as a Stand Up, they'd stave;)

Re: comedy poll
 

I see that forza has not been back since his debut a week ago. Do you think I drove hom away?
