Yes, I love British comedy. It's more subtle, and intelligent than US comedy.

I'm sure it's hilarious, he always is. I recall being on a train going to work, in hysterics with his standup on my walkman.

I think the funniest sketch I ever saw on TV was Rowan Atkinson changing into his swimming trunks on the beach. If you haven't seen it, do try to find it, hilarious.

Yeah, that's Mr Bean. And yes, it sure is.

Yes, I do, although for some reason that I can't recall I missed most of the entire run of NTNON. I used to play a lot of sport, back then, and do a lot of drinking, so it was probably on on a training night.

You're better off with Blackadder - especially Blackadder Goes Forth - especially as it will shock American's that cool Dr Gregory House played some right idiots in BlackAdder (to great comic effect of course).

Once again, I missed a lot of those the first time round. Pretty sure I've seen most of them on re-run at one time or another. Blackadder was indeed good, but it suffered greatly, in comparison, from a distinct lack of Pamela Stephenson.

But it did have Bob. Surely that counts for something?

I just flicked over the TV and caught Rowen Atkinson doing an impression of a 3 headed Martian with 15 hands and 15 legs, green skin and a flashing belly button. They just don't make comedy like that any more. :laugh:
Simon
That scene is one of my favourite scenes from the short lived series. The Constable's greeting to the 3 headed Martian was really good too! Unfortunately it is true that they don't make comedy like that any more.
