DieselDaisy Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I watched the above clip, part of it, with a face like a smacked arse. Humour is a very subjective and personal thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) I find Bottom sort ofcomforting. There's an honesty to it. Its not like Extras or The Office, it isn't trying to convince people that we're all valuable really. It presents the obvious truth that, really, the worlds full of lunacy and stupidity. The average males lives, on some level, probably resemble Richie and Eddies more than any other comic creations. Bottom is a look at the future.

DieselDaisy Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I have vague memories of that Rick Mayall film Drop Dead Fred or some bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, probably a bad starting place, thats sort of like your entry to Eddie Murphys work being the Nutty Professor or something. He wasn't to everyones taste. I believe Spike Milligan referred to him as 'the arsehole of British comedy' and 'that idiot who thinks farting and picking your nose is funny'.

At its heart it is putting forward the proposition that in a life devoid of meaning as human life clearly is there is nothing left to do but make fart jokes and kick the fuck out of each other. If the UK decide to go ahead with brexit, australia can give as much neighbours episodes to the UK as possible with an extra carton of fosters beer that tge UK can handle. 😖 Edited January 12, 2019 by Sydney Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sick of having to pay prince harry and the rest of his freeloading family trips down here. I can just imagine the queen saying "hoy isnt it about time we had a trip to those bunch of convict commoners in that land australia. Just to think we got rid of our rif raff down there i wonder how the place is.". They probably think its like chamelot from monty python and the holy grail.

Fundamentally if you look at The Office, the key characters, even people like David Brent, the problem with Brent is that he tries to be someone he's not, thats why he's terminally unhappy, his moments of equilibrium arrive when he rises above that. Same sort of thing with Martin Freemans character and the bird he's with. Same with Extras, he strives and strives to be a celebrity and its an empty and non-fulfilling process and he doesn't reach like...happiness until he just learns to be happy with who he is.

Sydney Fan Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 My own feeling is that americans cant do comedy like the british. Humour with americans and the british are opposite ends of tthe spectrum. British soaps or series are hits in oz. The bill, eastenders was huge down here, doc martin, blackbooks, mid summer murders and yep you guessed it fuckin love island! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth about all this shit is, the whole this comedy vs that comedy, is that both sides have a bit of a point. i mean lets have it right there is some fucking shite British comedy out there...telly in general, in fact I'd go so far as to say 90% of it. Thats why the good stuff is so valuable, cuz its so rare...but lets be honest, telly is a load of fuckin' bollocks and it always has been, its just fuckin' brain pollution for the lobotomized masses (of whom i am a part of). Americans are just particularly shite. Anything that designed for the broad populus will by definition be shite because it can't say anything contentious cuz it risks lessening its appeal and killing itself as a consequence.

Sure, you make a good point, but as far as pointing out that we are all valuable then I think Derek is even more explicit whereas it is more hidden in The Office and Extras. But I am remarkable obtuse when it comes to messages in series and movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
