What situations haven't been 'sitcomed' yet? Page 4

Quote: Tim Walker @ January 12, 2008, 10:26 AM

There hasn't been one set in a World War 2 concentration camp in Austria yet?

Done in 'mockumentary' style it follows the "banality of evil" lives of the unglamorous administration office staff, finding laughs between dealing with mountains of tedious paperwork. Always under the constant strain of working for "the boss from hell".

Didn't Rowan Atkinson want to make a new Blackadder in a similar situation?

How about a sitcom based on a murderer & all the different funny ways he kills his victims?

Pure gold!

And later you could make a spin-off featuring the dismembered and disfigured ghosts of his victims.
And one of the protagonists could have this really funny speach disorder because he can't help spewing out blood every time he speaks - that would be hilarious. Especially since most people know someone like this.

There have been rumours of that pretty much since series 4 ended, but I don't think that particular scenario has actually ever been seriously discussed.

No I think you're right Aaron. I think it was only actually RA who was excited about this idea. I read that Stephen Fry kind of said 'look, the show went out on a high so why not just leave it there?'.

I have never heard anyone in Manchester call a chippy a chipper.

Yeah, I call it a chip shop.

Though, I think he means we say "chippeh" because we all speak like Liam Gallagher.

What about sports-related sitcoms? There are almost none about being a professional sportsman. Or one set at the Olympics. A Winter Olympics one would be great.

Cool... Runnings...

Sit...com...

Well in that case,

Their hasn't be a dodgeball sitcom, or a male strippers from Sheffield sitcom.

A sitcom that is a mixture of spoofing Scary movies. (I think we'd call it Scary Sitcom)

A sitcom about Nascar racing.

I like the idea of a winter olympics sitcom.
Or any sitcom with snow.

Eddie the eagle Edwards could play himself!
Or did he just die...

I always wondered who'd win a fight, Eddie the Eagle or Ed the Duck?

Well, I know he was in the news recently for something, but I can't remember what.
Is he dead then? Break it to me gently.

I don't think so. He was indeed in the news recently, but buggered if I remember what for.

Apparently they've just started making a film about him. Starring Coogan.
