We're all so knowing now.....
In all honesty I didn't enjoy them at the time either.

Home to Roost being another prime example.

I'll stay and raise you all with "On the buses" and the one with the one-armed pillock in a tea shop??

I'll see your bet with 'Upstairs Downstairs' and raise you with 'It'll Be Alright On the Night' (a poor filler for Saturday evening when ITV had run out of budget to make a half-decent drama).
I'm going all in mate. Try and find me anything less funny than a bloopers show with Steve Penk doing the voiceover.

The least funny person on the planet is, without a doubt, Jim Carrey.

I'm on the ropes, but I'm going to turn over the final card that gives me the royal flush. JIM DAVIDSON. Anything he has ever done on TV. His stand-up acts. Up The Elephant and Round The Castle. Home James. The Generation Game. Racist, wife-beating scum. Loved by Garry Bushell and The Sun. Officially the most hateful and unfunny man to ever curse this planet.

Su fecking Pollard. How many times can you do the same character?

And even before his fall from grace, Michael Barrymore was as funny as AIDS. Claiming to 'love' the public whilst humilating them. The Dad of the lad found in his swiiming pool had a go at Barrymore in public the other day for trying to cash in on the scandal in his new book. Well done that man.

And another sh*tcom:
