Bad comedy

Its a bad show, stupid obvious jokes and lots of acting silly.

The sad part is people think its a "smart" comedy because its British.

Its not smart, like I said, dumb, obvious jokes, acting silly and doing goofy things does not make it a "smart" comedy.

Its a pretty bad show, and makes me cringe to watch it, it is so bad.

And the "ramping", speeding up the film, is so overdone, not to mention its a novelty film trick that was cliche very long ago, is another nail in the coffin for this very bad, very dumb not funny at all comedy.

This is a show for people who like to watch other people act silly and goofy and think its funny.

With a 9.0 out of 10 rating, I think I'll ignore your opinion...sorry.

I am a man and I would gladly give birth to a baby if it were Keira Knightley's.

I kind of have to agree with the OP. A lot of the scenes have no punchline, so rely on face pulling or the speed ramp thing.

I agree with OP, it's a pretty lame show - although if you stick to it, it's not so bad. Definately not clever, or 'sharp witted' though.

Every joke is either "haha you've got boobs!" or "look they're gay!". The relationships are very poorly handled too, the whole Gui/Mac/Caroline thing was a complete mess from start to end, not in a good way.

I absolutely hated the ramping - really took the show down a peg, for me.
