    Most definitely Mrs Browns Boys - utterly puzzling how so many find this hilarious
    Top Gear
    Casualty
    Coronation Street - the whinny music at the start is enough
    Eastenders - so, so far removed from reality

    The Office

    Serious?
    Yep, not a wind up. As I said in my other comment not sure if my dislike of Gervais clouds my judgement but I really just don't get why it's so popular. In theory it should be my sort of thing as I like a lot of British comedies of a similar ilk, just doesn't do it for me.
    Agree

    The Big Bang theory. Fucking terrible show.

    "Says something normal in a geeky way"
    *canned laughter*
    "Says something geeky in a really relaxed like it's the most normal thing to say way"
    *canned laughter*

    For 20 minutes every episode.

    If you want a funny show about geeks watch Silicon Valley - that's brillint

    I'm a big fan of Gervais and The Office but can easily see how some people just don't like that type of comedy. Not at all surprised it's listed on here.... but you're wrong :wink:

    And the drummers playing with the guest singers always forget their drum kit and play an old wooden box that they sit on

    Sunday Brunch in 99 seconds - this ruined Sunday Brunch for me, in the best way, because it's rubbish.

    Anything with "Celebrity" in the title.
    Mrs Browns Boys.
    anything With the TV Mafia in , Philip Scofield/Ant & Dec/ Stephen Mulhern/Holly Willoughby they monopolise nearly every program and should have a channel dedicated to them, much easier to avoid by putting them in one place together .

    Another vote for Mrs Brown's boys-utterly awful.

    Anything with harry hill in.

    X factor.

    I'd never watched Mrs Browns Boys until very recently as I just assumed it was shit. Saw a couple of episodes and found myself cracking up at a lot of it. Admittedly some of it wasn't great but overall I enjoyed it.

    Geordie Shore
    TOWIE
    Made in Chelsea

    Only seen VERY briefly but as Reality shows what the fuck do they exist for? - Utter rubbish where the "stars" simply meet up for a chat and a bitch moan about their "mates"

    Loose Women can be added too... Show should be shut down as a show called "Tough Lads" certainly would be!!!

    To be fair to Loose Women, it's like a 'would ya' thread, turned into a TV programme.

    I'm afraid I just don't 'get' Fawlty Towers. I'm probably the only one here who'll say this but a lot of it is slapstick, which I just don't find funny. I've tried but I just can't get into it.

    The BBC has been touting Mrs Brown's boys as one of their big Xmas shows. Gawd help us.

    I sort of enjoyed it when it was new. It wasn't demanding, but the joke wore thin and there was no substance behind it. The film was the most unfunny disaster I have witnessed.

    It has slapstick but the stories are so well constructed. For me it is best sit com ever made. But we all have different senses of humour.

    I get Mrs Brown's Boys mixed up with Andy Millman's piss-take show in Extras.

    Top Gear is just awful used to amaze me being in the pub and saying to locals that I thought it was shit they would-
    A:Think I was joking
    B:Ask again if I was joking
    C:Nah your joking
    D:Realise I am deadly serious and look at me like I was the original Cuntorman

    Gets my top vote all day, with honourable mentions to Mrs Browns Boys & Father Ted.

    I thought you had something about you Ricky!! How can anyone hate Blackadder and if you 'hate' GoT then you can't have watched it properly!

    I would say the same about South Park.
