What is your all-time favourite joke or sketch? Page 3

*puts out cannon fuse with wet finger & thumb*

One of my favourite but often overlooked bits of comedy is Dougal guarding the corner flag in Escape from Victory. It doesn't even have a separate YouTube video, but it's in this one:

Whenever I'm in a bad mood I watch the traffic jam outtake from Green Wing. Most of the views on YouTube are me, probably:

Both great imo. Dougal is just brilliant.

Ah well. Each to their own. At least we can agree on Peep Show.

No! I want a big row!!

Griff, I want a fight!! Come on! :D

It's my fave. Nobody is forcing anyone else to like it FFS.

"What is your all-time favourite joke or sketch?"

P.S. Peep Show rocks too.

ALL RIGHT!!

I'm was just saying. It was more in response to Griff really, explaining I didn't think it was reprepresentative of Spaced.

Wrong. Angry

That scene in particular, is as funny as being told that your mother has a brain tumour and won't see October.

Sorry Nil. Nothing personal. I just like the opportunity to moan about Spaced when it presents itself.

Pleased

Some people say the glass is half full, some say it's half empty, I say "You gonna drink that?"....

I am a massive fan of Spaced, and while I find the gunfight scene mildly amusing, it's certainly not a favourite. At all. I don't get why everyone loves it so much.

The slow motion gunfight from Spaced... Christ that's so unfunny.

Wish I hadn't posted the f**king thing now. I didn't expect some kind of Spanish Inquisition.

Haha!
We respect your right to love that bit, Nil. Honest!

Think my favourite sketch is probably the first Python sketch I ever heard, 'Cheese Shop', from the 'Matching Tie and Handkerchief' album. 'I don't care how f**king runny it is...'

Then you've not been around here long enough. ;)

Au contraire.
