A good, well reasoned argument there. Perhaps when your day in court comes you should choose not to represent yourself.
Very clever. Not funny Page 2

I nearly ended up there last year for consdpiracy to pervert the course of justice. Who'd have thought the police take all that so seriously?
I predict a thread about to rapidly derail...
Aaron'll do his nut. Especially with the new message at the bottom and all.
Anyway, Absolute Power I found very clever and funny again, but agree with Griff about Rory Bremner. Can't think of any sitcoms that are clever, but not funny. Unless Bo' Selecta is *really* clever on some level. But I doubt it.

We'll probably be okay. It's not like there's going to be a sitcom called Very Clever. Not Funny. The critics would be wetting their kecks with glee.

Nah, this thread isn't about a particular show, so won't attract the same kind of attention that the new rule is aiming to protect.

Rules are made to be broken...what rule are you talking about?
Seems a bit stuffy. What's up with leaving everything as it is?
"However, as the site grows and we find ourselves with an increasing number of guests wanting to know about specific programmes - be they other fans, the writers, producers, or anyone else involved."
I've always found Moffat's stuff to be pretty watchable but not funny. I remember watching Joking Apart and Coupling and not laughing. I find the dialogue goes on a bit when what I want is sharp, snappy dialogue.
I'm the same with Curb Your Enthusiasm. Enjoy watching it, the plotting and structure is brilliant, but I wouldn't laugh much at it on the whole. That said, I found the episode with Ben Stiller and the blind man hilarious.
The ultimate clever but not funny would be Shakespeare's comedies.
