"Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps: why? They take the easy route using sex joke after sex joke mixed with a few gross out and observational jokes. We get it, there sexually active move on!
The British Sitcom that is the least clever
I'd have called this thread, "The stupidest British sitcom!"
Shittas empire. No question. You may surmise that I'm not keen on it.

Yeah, but it still makes me giggle. 
I think Coming of Age might pip Two Pints in the brainless stakes.
The performances in the Coming of Age pilot were ridiculously over the top. While I didn't think the script was *that* great, I thought it was a lot better than it was played out. I hope they tone it down for the series.

I doubt they will. With the honourable exception of The IT Crowd very few sitcoms, if any, have the ability to look at themselves, recognise their shortcomings, and then improve.
I always liked Brittas, there was something so sweetly mindless about it.
Like watching monkeys paint, whilst roller blading.
And some how it had the gem of Chris at it's center.
Teenage Kicks might fit into the brainless catergory quite comfortably.
Now someone's mentioned Ade Edmondson, wouldn't Bottom be the least clever? I think that's what they were aiming for with it, to be honest.

I agree, but Blackadder is over twenty odd years ago. Nowadays nobody seems capable of looking at a sitcom, figuring out where it goes wrong, and then fixing those problems. Perhaps rather than having a College of Comedy the BBC needs to have a College of Comedy Production, because the standard of producing seems very poor nowadays.
I not sure Sitcoms need to be clever as long as there funny, show like the Young ones and Bottom I don’t think are clever but are very funny. Like telling a child off for doing something stupid but they carry on because they can see it’s making you smile.
GAVIN AND STACEY
Essex prats, Welsh monkeys. Boring information, emotion for morons.
jokes involving police in wales who cant stop talking but let you go when you commit an offence

a granny who uses facebook
I literally can't believe people like this
Gay jokes are always great.
Funny for somebody who doesn't like Gavin and Stacey, He sure drones on about it enough.
