I'm going to disagree with some of this differentiating. Will and Grace and MASH are perfect examples of Sitcoms. Something where the situation is supposed to be funny. (IE a woman living with a gay man, doctors in a war who tell jokes).

Yes, those situations are funny. However, MASH continues to be funny (but that may be only because I identify with Hawkeye's sarcasm) while I feel like only a couple of episodes of Will and Grace have me grabbing my head in pain because they have been beating me over the head with that situation.TwoBuy wrote:I'm going to disagree with some of this differentiating.

Anyways, I disagree with "sitcom" as all-encompassing because I don't feel like it covers all the bases (at least using the phrase that it abbreviates). You know what, I take back putting Will and Grace under character comedy. I don't know what I was thinking. However, I feel like MASH could fit under both (which, again, may be attributed to Hawkeye's hilariousness).

I just didn't like it. So I guess I disagree that it was good.Lethal Interjection wrote:What part about Friends did you disagree with? That it was good, that it wasn't innovative, or what? The stock plots or the stock characters?Lexy wrote: I agree with everything said here, save the Friends bit.
Personally I can only tolerate Friends. I will watch and sometimes enjoy it, but I neither actively search for it nor do I change the channel when it is on (like Everybody Loves Raymond).

i watch mash daily on the hallmark channel. i still have no idea why a greeting-card company has a T.V. station.
Also, you can't even compare british to american comedy. asking me to compare monty python and say, lewis black or dane cook is blasphemy. i like all equally for their own styles.

Not sure I agree with this entirely either. "Kids in the Hall" and my favorite sketch show "Upright Citizens' Brigade" are both weirder and funnier than MP and they are Canadian and American respectively.your_face wrote:I find English humour is funny because it's weird.

Monty Python is classic british humour. It is in no way the weirdest or the funniest.

What was the name of that Comedian with long curly hair he has a dull voice, never laughs at his own jokes, does lots of one liners, he was on Comedy Central a couple weeks ago I think he was one of the "Freinds of Bob and Tom"?
Anyway hes eff n' Hell-arious.
[Edit]
It was Steven Wright.
I stayed up all night playing poker with tarot cards.
I got a full house and four people died.
-- Steven Wright
When I turned two I was really anxious, because I'd doubled my age in a year.
I thought, if this keeps up, by the time I'm six I'll be ninety.

Yeah, at first glance I thought he was talking about Mitch Hedberg. Though his hair wasn't curly.mountainmage wrote:the king of the one-liners is, and always will be, mitch hedburg.

I never cared for Mitch though. I think it was mostly that his delivery was too awkward for me.

Heh, I thought you were being serious at first glance.
I saw Trevor Lock/Locke/Loch, a semi-unknown comedian, do stand-up a while ago. High-larious.
I bumped into an ex-girlfriend of mine yesterday. She said "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?".
I said yes to both and shot her.

If we are talking stand-up comedians, nothing gets better for me than Brian Regan. The man is hilarious, and his comedy is actually quite clean (fine for the kiddies). I've been a huge fan for a decade and some.
What was funny was that a couple of years ago I was having a conversation with a friend and threw a line in from his stuff (completely subconciously, I didn't even know that I had said it, as I had already been listening to him for about 7 years) and another friend identified it. Eventually me and him ended up introducing him to about a dozen of my other friends, and they are all quoting it now.
