Same here; I don't find it funny, and therefore don't watch it. Out of curiosity, why do you think it's offensive?

It used to be good... but they've just been rehashing the same old shite since the end of series 1. Anyone who can step back and take a look at just how sh1te the UK underculture has become, can laugh at the first series..

Well some of it is cringworthy, a lady who has a wee in a queue, a lady who is sick when touched by minorities, a 35 year old man breast feeding, transvestites with facial hair, Fat bald bloke in spandex who claims unique sexual preferences in his home village.

Well really it the lady who wee's I don't like that !

I'm not keen on Little Britain, but I can watch it. Catherine Tate (some not all) is great.

I fint Little Britain unpleasant and therefore not entertaining, but I don't think I am capable of being offended by something like that.

The first series was genius, but they just took it too far with the second and third series.

yeriknow.

That's a much better phrase to use, it is unpleasant and not offensive, excellent.

I had a bizarre thought the other day though for something equally unpleasant, it was a characher called the Sick Psychic, the basic premice was following a walk to the beach with the kids and wife, and I said don't step on the cracks you'll have twins, Wife said something allong the lines of "that would be rather inconvenient" too which I replied "don't worry because one of them will die" don't ask why, but you could do a sketch where the SP could meet people and give them good news, but then follow it up with something really cringeworthy. ala

You will meet a tall dak stranger, he is rich and I can see you having two homes, one with a pool abroad, you will have a lovely family who will all be intelilgent and beautiful, ........ but he will fiddle with the your youngest daughter who will be forced at 14 to commit suicide.

Etc

I really think in terms of being offensive you could really hang your coat on the Sick Psychic.

Good to share, have a good weekend all,

Agreed! LB went from not great, but Ok to dismal and disgusting in one series.

but the Fast Show will always suit me sir :roll:

To be honest i find LB boring... It's the same every episode, the sketches are almost exactly the same every time. If you have seen one you have seen them all. I must admit though many of the sketches are accurate in their portrayal of some of the citizens of this country.

Also there is something inherrently wrong with watching a sketch about a guy letching over his mate's gran...

I suppose you could say the same of most Sketch Shows, but the Fast Show will always be my favourite.

And remember.. You ain't seen me... Right?
