I love Billy Connelly too and do u remember Dave Allen
Connelly is hilarious, Dave Allen, not too bothered either way, I can take him or leave him !

A great guy to see live is believe it or not Frank Skinner ! Absolute class (for a West Brom fan) !

Aah, WTF, No is my answer. That should cover it!

Did you know I was Man Of The Year?

Oooh, I love that comedy about the, eh, well it was, no but it was set in, yes, no maybe it was about or perhaps it could have been...

I hope that sorts this out! Hmmm, yes really!

Just my opinion...
Well the real racist in American "comedy" is Bill 'No Whites On My Show' Cosby.

He is also the unfunniest man on the planet - his stuff makes Friends seem hilarious.........

agreed.

In all fairness a lot of American shows don't include blacks in their key characters.

But to state as a reason for a show being racist is because jokes are ironic and the show depicts 6 friends being unrealistic is completely puzzling..

I mean we live in Dubai where nobody flatshares at all..

I loved Dave Allen, but it did spoil it when they took the fags and booze away - they were important to his whole personality.

This thread is about Friends and other wannabe crap sitcoms that pretend to be funny...
Another case in point; Jim Belushi's show...And that stupid Damon Wyan's show...Both so boring can't even remember their name...
