vicky-27 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 According to the Sun Fawlty Towers is the sitcom by which all sitcoms should be judged, with The Office being the hit of the 21st century. Well i can't stand The Office and i didn't think Fawlty Towers was that funny either - Only Fools wins by a mile to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 The missus loves Faulty Towers, I bought her the boxset for christmas so i have no watched them all, they are funny but as you say Only Fools and Horses wins it hands down. Only ever watched a couple of episodes of The Office but wasn't overly impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 The original office is better than the award winning american version. The yank one is so phoney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky1106 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Basil all the way. it's the sort of sitcom you can watch again and again with it being just as funny everytime. The slapstick is done well too. A lot of Gervais' success in the office is from his facial expressions. (Watch the Horne and Corden sketch show where this is parodied.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky1106 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Ricky Gervais just isn't that funny really. Most of extras was good but I much prefer his stand up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyndsey Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 i have never watched an episode of the office or extras ever, i find gervais's voice so annoying, fawlty towers was ok not a touch on only fools and steptoe imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perky1106 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 This sketch sums up Ricky's abysmal acting skills in a nutshell. I warn you this will have you in stitches.

Dangerous Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I think Gervais epitomises everything thats wrong with British comedy nowadays.He is so far up his own arse its untrue.The office wasnt really funny.Extras was terrible.In my opinion,Fawlty Towers was quality but cannot compare to the brilliant Porridge.Ronnie Barker is my comedy hero.I have never seen a funnier man.
