Fair play, but I don’t discriminate. EVERYONE I dislike would get similar treatment… :dev2:

But, I just find them unfunny, unlikeable, and generally very irritating. Hence, they get a little bit of venom.

There are things about certain comedians or musicians I really don’t like as well but I’d never go as far as to say what you have! That kind of comment is reserved for really quite nasty people which I can’t say comedians or musicians/artists are just because I don’t like what they do, unless you know something about Walliams and Lucas I’m not aware of?

It’s just something about the two of them I really don’t like.

Daz, I really don’t understand that mentality. Okay, so they’re not your kind of thing but why make such a scathing statement? :confused:

I wouldn’t **** on Lucas and Walliams if they were on fire. Sorry.

To be fair they are entirely different styles of comedy, and I don’t think you can compare them. Lucas and Walliams have been very funny, although Lou and Andy palled after a few situations. Carrot was equally brilliant as a solo stand-up.

not my favourites i find them very weak as comedians

the only ones that raise a bit of a smile are lou and andy

i don’t understand how little britain lasted as long as it did

all credit to him for the cross channel swim

everyone has difrent tastes but i just don’t find them remoteley funny

if you put them alongside someone like jasper carrot in his heyday they would be very sore loosers !

Has anyone complained yet about all the white people they take the p155 out of?

Now, don’t be silly, who would take any action against any other than a white person, taking the P ?.

I gave up after Episode 2 and wondered how it lasted for all 6. Not really surprised………:(

Well, episode 1 had promise.

Clearly, the intellect and jokes all went into episode 1. It has worsened week by week and last night was just cheap trash TV (It probably always was).
It really isn’t worth watching ever again in my opinion.

Of course, and my guess is that there were several hundred formal complaints out of an audience of over 10 million and they were all white! Not that you are allowed to ask their ethnicity, of course!

Apparently there have already been complaints about some of the ethnic characters shown, I guess a comedy dosen’t do its job if it dosen’t upset someone!.

It was OK. I’m not sure I even cracked a smile during the 30 mins, but at least we don’t get the spinster vomiting everytime she spots a ‘foreigner’……

I think Come Fly With me is brilliant, and I’m not a Little Britain fan at all.
It combines all those ghastly easy viewing airline type programmes and roundly takes the mick out of them all!

Really like the Sterios rip off who said that life jackets are freely available to everyone, and then gets out a credit card swiping machine to bill the passenger for the life jackets and extras like the whistle!

I enjoyed the One Ronnie show aswel.

I was agreeably surprised after getting bored with the predictability of Little Britain.But there are some good characters here and if the writing stays sharp and the pair don’t descend into self-indulgence, it could become very watchable. I enjoyed the David Walliams’ character holding up the “dog is Dead” card at the window as he couldn’t bring himself to tell the passenger the truth. And the pilots whose marriage was saved after the wife re-trained as a pilot, and they continue to live out the stale marriage on the flight deck.

Yeah, agreed, but that was about as muchbas they bgot Ryanair got well ripped… and Stelios took a bit of a pounding (loved the idea of a credit card machine instead of inflatable vest: You “buy time” with a vest if the aircraft ditches… it stays up for 20 mins..then if you want to continue using it you swim back into aircraft and buy more time!! LOL
Only worry is O’Leary will be getting ideas from this!!:eek:

Saw it “live” last night. Enjoyable.
Pity they picked Flybe as the logo copy, there are FAR FAR worse budget airlines to rip into. In fact Flybe are perhaps the best of the cheapo’s.
