The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 I always preferred the UK version...mostly because the show wasn't about the host. That always bugged me on the US version. Carey would always explain that the winner got to do something with him...and then the winner just sat at the desk while Carey and the other 3 did something. The shit?

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 I just can't enjoy ATHF or Sealab 2021 all that much. To me, they drip with the sentiment of trying too hard. More than anything else, "look how wacky and unpredictably random this is!" humor pisses me off. ATHF I find hilarious, but except for a handful of eps, Sea Lab is shit IMO.

Vyce 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 Seinfeld, definitely. Probably the most overrated television show in the entire history of television. Yeah - it's THAT overrated. I've tried to find humor in this show, and have literally watched dozens of episodes, by myself and with others, and though I know people who love the show, I've sat through each and every episode absolutely stonefaced. Whoever said Kids in the Hall......I can see your point of view, as some of the humor is a little.....offbeat...but I consider it a classic sketch comedy show. The Blue Collar Comedy Tour: it's kind of odd, but the funniest one out of that sorry lot is Ron White, who you NEVER hear from on that stupid show of theirs (it's always the fucking "Cable Guy" tool).

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 Austin Powers for me: hilarious the first time I watch it, by the time I'm out of the theater I'm saying "That was the stupidest thing I ever saw, fuck anyone who likes it." Very short shelf life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 For the record, I think Seinfeld is funny, but it's not the funniest show ever. It's been vastly overrated and overblown by fans of the show.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 Drew Carey was an uninspired if passable sitcom for a few years, then, with an endless parade of gimmick episodes and many other things it became one of the worst shows I can think of. The musical numbers and gimmick shows were fine to start, but once Drew and Kate got together, and then broke up, the writing just went into the dumps. That was also the time when Christa Miller fell from hot to good looking (she's recovered a bit, though). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Thrashist Report post Posted December 17, 2004 Anyone who dislikes Seinfeld is on the crizack pizipe. My list: --Colin Quinn - WORST COMEDIAN EVER. Only about 1/10th of his jokes are even somewhat funny in theory, but considering he stutters and ruins like 99 out of 100 of them, his efficiency as a comedian is like..0.00003%. --Billy Crystal - just why? --Redneck Comedy Tour - LAME. --Jay Leno - His writers are terribly hit and miss, and many 'hits' are ruined by Jay's terrible delivery. --Dave Letterman - I hate including this here because this is a classic show from my youth, but looking at him now and I'm like whoa..he's not very good. --ALMOST EVERY PRIMETIME NETWORK SHOW IN THE PAST TEN YEARS. There are so many more but I'll have to leave it that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 Kids in the Hall doesn't apply to this because more people dislike it then like it. "So are like all of them gay with each other or something? This is dumb." Geez Whose Line UK = comedy goodness Whose Line US = suck. My reward would be not having to do things with Drew Carey. Family Guy is great, shut up, non-believers. I fear that the new episodes won't be funny though. anyway ATHF, I didn't get it. I'm not hip enough I guess. Friends, I hate it. I'm not fucking dumb enough I guess. Git-R-Done Guy, fuck him. I'm not redneck enough I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 I find Seinfeld the show funny but I don't find Jerry Seinfeld the comedian funny. I think that was an issue with a lot of people. Around the time the show was ending, we had to do these polls for one of my classes and I did one on favorite people in Seinfeld and NO ONE voted for Jerry. I asked about 100 people. Of course there were a lot of George and Kramers, but then there were some George's Dad, Soup Nazi, Newman, random supporting ones, no one picked Jerry. And Amen on the hate to the Blue Collar Gang. I find a lot of stupid stuff funny, but I cannot stand them at all. Larry the Cable Guy is definately the worst too and people who actually use Get-R-Done should be pushed into speeding traffic.

strummer 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 add me to the Drew Carey hate His show started out fine, but then it turned into the "which hot girl does Drew bang this week, to hell with reality, I have a lot of money and am going to do whatever the hell I want" show. Drew turned into the male version of Brett Butler or Roseanne, he let success get into his head and he started to make his show about his character getting laid and making lame beer jokes all the time. The show, in the same vein as Roseanne, was about a middle class guy struggling to survive and his reaction to all the madness surrounding him. But once Drew became popular in real life, then all of a sudden in his show he's making out with hot chicks all the time and talking about getting laid for 22 minutes. No one was going to buy that with a guy like Drew in the lead, and the show died as a result. And the gimmicks killed it to. but it was mostly Drew's increasing ego.

Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 People who like Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Howard Stern and laugh track sitcoms deserve a fucking kick in the temple. Those shows repeat themselves so much it feels like you're trapped in a vortex of suck. As for not finding things funny, I've never really liked the UK Whose Line, Benny Hill, Crank Yankers, the Blue Collar guys(except Ron White- he rules), SNL nowadays, as well as everything mentioned above.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 I'll say the Austin Powers films. A big problem with the first AP movie with me is that my classmates (was a senior in HS at the time) were all quoting assorted stupid shit from the movie so damn much ("Yeah baby!") that it really made me not want to see it. I had the same problem with Seinfeld. There was this group of assholes in my class quoting shit from it all the time thinking they were all funny... god I hated them, and they made me hate Seinfeld. I don't hate it anymore though, but I am apathetic about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 Kevin James/King of Queens Blasphemy. I know it's not cool to like sitcoms, but I think a lot of the storylines are fresh, and I think it's very well cast. James is one of my favorite comedians, too. He relies too much on the fat and food jokes at times, but he's got more appeal than that. I used to watch Raymond over that, but after watching King of Queens more often, I can barely sit through Raymond. I, too, never have found Crank Yankers funny. Female comedians suck, too. They're so limited in what they talk about it's ridiculous. You'd swear to god if there weren't periods or sex, female comedians wouldn't exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starvenger 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 People who like Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Howard Stern and laugh track sitcoms deserve a fucking kick in the temple. Those shows repeat themselves so much it feels like you're trapped in a vortex of suck. Are you telling me Howard Stern ALWAYS has strippers and porn stars on his show? I'm SHOCKED... Whose Line UK = comedy goodness Whose Line US = suck. My reward would be not having to do things with Drew Carey. Pretty much my take on things. Clive > Drew, plus the UK version could do things that ABC wouldn't, like stick Phil LaMarr in as a guest and not have Wayne Brady on every single show. Don't get me wrong, I think Wayne is very talented, but we didn't need to hear the guy sing all the time. Female comedians... well I like Kathleen Madigan and Wendy Liebman (no, seriously), and Kathy Greenwald is a talented improv actor. That's about it, I think.

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2004 I never found Seinfeld funny, especially Elaine (very annoying). Though I think Seinfeld's stand-up is hilarious.
