Mr Bean and most Brittish humour (are you being served, faulty towers etc)

Ah, there are people like out there

I, too, do not like Seinfeld, Two and a Half Men, Jackass or Borat. Actually, widen that to most Sascha Baron Cohen stuff. The only time I have ever laughed at him was when he took the p*ss out of a bigotted Northern Irish politician. Now that WAS funny.

I don't get Dame Edna, Hey Hey It's Saturday or Funniest Home Videos. Most American sitcoms pass me by because there is no subtlety.

And I really, REALLY hate Fawlty Towers. I watched an episode recently and it was so sexist/racist and completely un-funny that I wanted to pull my eyeballs out.

In a recent magazine article Lindy Chamberlain says she sometimes laughs at dingo jokes.

Agree that Kitty is the best out of that crew, but she doesn't have much competition. Dave makes a decent joke every now and then but Charlie P is just awkward and whatsername is too skinny to be funny.

ETA - that sounds a bit mean - maybe I'm just bitter.

And Dame Edna is a send-up of the kind of woman Barry Humphries grew up with in post-war suburban Melbourne, so no surprises that I don't really get the joke!

I just read the heading in hot topics and was coming in to post this!

I never find it funny

Neighbours did something awhile ago - cheerleaders were singing a cheer song for the "dingoes" and something about a dingo eating your baby. Such poor taste IMO

Have to add:

Dame Edna
Mr Bean (although Rowen Atkinson is great in Blackadder)

Gosh, I can't think right now, I must be in a good mood

Yep, and I'm sticking to it. Kitty is one of the funniest women comedians we have, and Greenbag agrees with me so how can you argue with that?

Judging by some of the sourpuss comments on here, I'd be interested to know what some people do find funny then...

Carl Baron.

In fact any Australian comedians.

Another vote for Mr Bean.

The Chaser Boys.

Adam Sandler movies make furious. He is such an utter tool- the simpering moron always bordering on enraged maniac. It's the same freaking character in every freaking movie!!

Someone at work leant me "Knocked Up" recently- thought I might find it funny as I'm a midwife. HELL NO! That movie thought abusing health providers was funny, had obstetricians assaulting the woman, and the "birth" scene!!?? If anyone finds that movie funny they need therapy.

Totally agree with 2 and half men- Charlie Sheen is so unlikeable- how do people get around that to find it funny? Also hate Jackass, funny home videos (although the old man that tried to use his foot to chock the rolling car was quite giggle worthy), and did I mention Adam Sandler? Oh and Dave Hughes- very unfunny.

For those who don't get Little Britian (I love it), try the Little Britian USA- it's the same actors, but slightly less vulgarity (vomiting/urinating old lady and the like). I borrowed it from the library and found it easier to watch- The 8th man to walk on the moon is very funny.

I don't like Jackass or Funniest Home Videos.

We? Speak for yourself.

You need to get out more if you really think that. She is hole in the head funny.

The chaser for me. It also irks me when you don't find something funny and others assume you must be too stupid or low brow to understand it. Sometimes things just dont click.

I don't find Seinfeld or Monty Python funny at all, but I love Big Bang Theory and Modern Family! Ah well, each to their own.

GDC, I meant we as in 'Australia' has.

I do get out, I've been to many many years of live stand up comedy gigs and Comedy festivals. Still love Kitty.

Practical jokes, prank calls and the like. Anything where people pretend something that upsets/distresses someone and it's supposed to be all ok afterwards because they're "only joking".

Do not get at all -

Mr Bean
Monty Python
Funniest home Videos (seeing a bride get sh*t on by a toddler and ruin her wedding dress. Oh yeah, HILARIOUS )

But my biggest pet hate- Gotcha Calls on morning crew radio stations. CRINGE...

I do love Will Ferrell, Family Guy, Seth Rogan though. I like stupid random humour I think, not taking the p*ss out of other people.

poo and fart humor. don't get it at all. my 9yo DFS and DH love it.

One of my favourite movies. Obviously I will be in therapy for a long time then

Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Seinfeld etc .... I just can't laugh, it's so forced!! And "comedians" who just yell louder when they think they're being funny! DH obviously has a very simple sense of humour as he will lie on the lounge p*ssING HIMSELF at some of these so called comedians while I just get more and more annoyed (and even MORE annoyed because when he laughs then my head which was resting on his stomach gets jiggled around!!)

I cannot stand Big Bang Theory and I haven't even watched an episode (I think I lasted 2 minutes)...just the ads put me right off. That tall geeky guy just grates me.

Charlie Pickering is totally unfunny as is Clare Hooper from Good News Week...the world would be a better place if those two weren't on TV!

I love it too. It's not intending to be realistic about birth and midwives, it's a COMEDY.

I think I'm the only person on the planet that didn't think The Hangover was that funny.

Mr Bean - HATE. Don't get it, I remember in high school everyone loved it but I just never got it.....i find him creepy TBH.

good news week

2.5 men

I agree with sunny on Kitty Flanagan, she is funny as!!!

I hate Mr Bean. And I didn't like The Hangover much. I find most Will Ferrell movies insanely stupid. But I did like Step Brothers.

Romantic Comedies

Dave Hughes. He is so not funny.



haha he makes the show. Love Sheldon.

I too do not like Seinfield I think these shows would be ok if they just didn't go overboard on the joke. The Americans seem to like dragging jokes out. They just go on and on!



no I didn't find it at all funny either.

WOW. Some of you need to get a sense of humour.

Oh, so that's where I'm going wrong- woops! I still think it is offensive and degrading, but, as this thread clearly shows, we all have differing taste in comedy!

Really? And after all you've seen, Kitty really nails it for you?
Is she different live? I have only ever seen her on the 7pm Project (and agree with pp that this show is dreadful- DH loves it, so I watch it sometimes) and some of those 80's Australian comedy shows.

Any of that old school English humour... it just does nothing for me.

Seinfeld. One of the worst shows I've ever had to watch (my dad was a fan).

Two and a Half Men isn't at all amusing IMO... and how does Charlie even get any girls? He's supposed to be some man-sl*t but he wears ugly shirts and shorts with these feral socks and loafers. Ew. Even dressed up in some awesome clothing, he's still a slimey, unattractive man.

As for The Office being American... BLASPHEMY! Sure, there's an American RIP OFF of The Office, but it's the very unfunny and forced remake of a great English comedy called The Office. David Brent is one of the best characters on TV!

Most American comedies (like others, I can't understand the appeal of Two and a Half Men etc).

There's Something About Mary was possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Everyone else I know thinks it's hilarious.

I also hate those comedy galas.

I dont get some of Adam Sandlers movies, Billy Maddison was a joke to me, nothing more cringeworthy than seeing a grown man act like that. I loved wedding singer though.
Dont really get Seinfield, The Office, Ally McBeal, 2 and a half men.

Loved Jackass 3D, I think I laughed the loudest (not at the poo scene or when Stevo drank Prestons sweat - gross), love Funniest home videos (in saying that I burst out laughing when my son clothes lined himself (I am currently seeking help for my sick sence of humour (and he wasn't badly hurt either))).

And that episode where he did that dance for charity was gold.

It's not supposed to be funny/a comedy, it's a fairy tale. The writer asked his daughters what sort of story they would like. One wanted a story about a bride, the other about a princess.

But isn't the bloke who plays David Brent one of the producers of the American one?

TBH I like both, but I like the American one more. The dance for charity WAS very funny though

But it IS very funny anon60 My favourite movie actually!

Two and a Half Men

Little Britain - it is three 'jokes' repeated over many series

Adam Sandler movies and anything involving Robin Williams

I think he had some involvement, not sure if he produced it.

I don't mind some of the American episodes, the one where they get married to that annoying song is pretty funny. Especially the character who has to wear the tissue boxes on his feet.

I thought it was funny but totally freaked out about the baby not being restrained properly - EB has clearly influences me!

I have a few;-

Will Ferrel (i cringe and quickly change the channel if he comes on)
Adam Sandler (i do not know why he is so popular)
Scrubs
Married with children
Simpsons
The sidekick of Rove when he was on, the blonde one

Anything by Will Ferrell, Sascha Baron-Cohen, Ben Stiller, Seth Rogen or Jack Black.

Little Britain. How is a guy in a dress poncing about saying "I'm a lady" funny? HOW?

Mikey Robbins.

Modern Family.

Two and a Half Men.

The Footy Show

But I do love Big Bang, Seinfeld, Monty Python (some of it), and The Princess Bride was hilarious.

I love it too, I was pointing out that it wasn't written as a comedy per se, any more than "Sleeping Beauty" or "Snow White". Genius casting made that movie.

Footballers on television. They're nothing short of moronic brutes who are celebrated for their anti social behaviour.

Anyone who has been charged with assault or injury to another person remaining in the public spotlight and being paid too much for too little (Charlie Sheen, Chris Brown, that awful player for the Sharks NRL team).

Sarcasm. It lacks wit and always comes across as bitter yet there's a certain "type" who finds it funny

Oh, but the man is a genius.

I think a few of the things mentioned are funnier to some age groups than others. I adore Adam Sandler but I do think he has sadly made a few very bad movie choices lately, it's probably time for the next 'group' (Judd Apatow) to shine in that genre.

I can't stand any type of cartoon, never could, from Tom and Jerry to the Simpsons, they just don't make me laugh. I also cringe at 'Ocker' humour, from old school (creepy old man!) Bert Newton and the like, to the sadder ones of today.

Entourage - I just don't get it. Not remotely entertaining or funny
Two and a half men - just unfunny
Wil Anderson -

For the people that don't get The Office (UK or US version) - I fear someone conducted a humour bypass on you while you were asleep

South Park. I've seen DH laugh until he has cried... usually over the same thing that I think is just so so wrong.

True, except that I am actually one of the funniest women comedians we have, so, you know, there is a bit of room for flexibility there, like, you know.

Especially Bridget Effing Jones! DH loves them though

So I inflict Monty Python/The Princess Bride/A Fish Called Wanda on him
