Little Britian -vs- The League of Gentlemen - Page 2 - erutufon|nofuture

**Orang Utan** · 7th October 2004

I never heard it til it was on her show.

Mui · 8th October 2004

little britian hasn't started over here yet....it is due to sometime this year though..

pille'ocheoni · 8th October 2004

the name little britian just fucks with the idea of britian. hehe little!? give me a break.

since i am a weirdo who laughs hysterically at things which most other people seem to find scary, i vote for JAM

Yer_Maw · 8th October 2004

jam on tv was a complete dissapontment. Bluejam on the radio was much better i think. totally suited being listened to on headphones in the dark.

CV · 8th October 2004

Little Britain the radio show is great

they are more Reeves and Mortimer than LOG.

LOG was a complete surprise , and something more like Comedy Hammer House

8th October 2004

apparently LOG is very popular somewhere in eastern europe? can't rememebr where.

*Spandex* · 8th October 2004

Had a works christmas do in the Derbyshire peaks once... near the place it was based on "High Peak"... and it was genuinely terrifying to find out how realistic LOG is.

We arrived at a train station (we were going on a train to somewhere were a meal was booked)... and there was a marquee outside. Inside, was a menacing animatronic gnome with a speaker inside it playing Cliff Richard, a hugely fat girl selling (and wearing) sparkly deely boppers... she looked REALLY pissed off and nobody dared approach her... finally, in the corner was an enclosure made of chicken wire... we couldn't work out why until we spotted a guinea pig cowering under a plank. The rest of the (large) marquee was completely empty. I think a sign outside read "Fun House" or something. Then we got on the train and were horrified to see a "Santa Claus" slowly making his way up the train towards us.. stopping to talk to all the kiddies... he arrives in our carriage, full of 25-35 yr old programmers and designers... and suddenly turns into Bernard Manning and starts doing unbelievably unfunny sexist and racist jokes. He managed to find our least sociable programmer and started asking him about whether he preferred blondes or brunettes... and just wouldn't let it go until the chap quietly said "I want you to go away now". We were all expecting papa laza to leap out at any moment.

Then.. we get to where our christmas meal is supposed to happen and (I'm not making this up) it was an abandoned pit. There was nobody there... just a few sheds with rusting machines in them. We looked around, then someone spotted a portakabin up the hill with a light on.. so we trudged up there.. and sure enough, there was our dinner... in a portakabin on a hill. It was pissing down by this point. Inside, it was a bit like a transport cafe... plastic chairs, a couple of hairy men smoking fags etc. They sat us down and gave us plates of watery meat (hard to tell what, it tasted a bit like turkey but a bit like pork as well) with revolting overcooked cauliflower. They served us some drinks.. but it turned out they only had about 2 cans of lager (there were about 15 of us who wanted a lagery beer) and the rest was some manky bitter. Someone asked for a glass of white wine and got half pint glass full of liebfraumilch.

*Lady E* · 8th October 2004

oh my god. why did your work organise this hellish trip?

*Spandex* · 8th October 2004

It was a small company... everyone got on pretty well... but one of the directors (the MD) was about 20 years older than everyone else and thought it would be really good. To be fair to him, he genuinely thought it would be a "grand day out" or sommat... but he should have just let us all go to a pub and get pissed like we wanted. He was a well intentioned buffoon and the main reason I left

*mdk* · 8th October 2004

<< He was a well intentioned buffoon and the main reason I left >>

hehe, and he was the one who fired me

glory days....

turned up at 10.30 one day, stoned off me box expecting no-one to be in the office...much to my surprise the bearded-buffoon and other guy who worked in the office were there and my desk was looking surprisingly tidy...

thats nice of em, i thought until i noticed a box on the floor with all my stuff in...

then it clicked...im being fired...

at which point i said 'if id known i was going to get fired id have stayed in bed'

ahh...i think the trigger for them firing me was refusing to go to nottingham to work for the week because id just moved into a new house and hadnt yet unpacked my cd collection...

a mans gotta have priorities innit

8th October 2004

Was this at Mr Byrites at Brent cross?

That brought me much joy. He went on about it for years afterwards.

Nah.. it was the consistently failing to turn up until lunchtime

That is superb, it reminds me when Jim and Bob go to the meat festival in "the weekenders"

*Spandex* · 8th October 2004

Good god.. I found it:-

Only the lunch bit isn't mentioned... we must have had a special "Portakabin Luncheon" option or something.

Also found this:-

Thank you very much for bring cheer to what has otherwise been a very hard day - mainly spent coming to the gradual realisation that I'm actually really fucking ill...

What a horrendous xmas dinner... was that a computer games company Spandex (well you said programmers and designers) which or was it 'new media'...

**grobelaar** · 8th October 2004

But yeah the peak district - there's something about it, you do get the feeling that two many wrong turns somewhere around Edale and you could actually find yourself in some fractal anomaly - known as Royston Vasey...

ha ha ha ahaha h- that makes me laugh every time

L.O.G. takes more effort to watch... it's more rewarding... little b is kinda one dimensional, even though it's supposed to be working on 2 levels: purile obvious jokes that people laugh at and the idea that you can laugh at the purile people laughing...
the catherine tate show is like the least funny guy at school making your parents laugh...

Never found LOG funny in any way.
Little Britain is the shittiest, very low quality toss on TV and lacks any humour - easy targets done badly. Its worse than the Chuckle Brothers.

Real humour...
