Ohhh...I do love a bit of comedy-TV-on-DVD!
Just went through the old DVD collection, and do you guys want the long list, or the long list?
Attempting to list my
absolute favourites first:
- Brass Eye
(Being an Aussie, I had never heard of this, until I saw a segment from "Paedogeddon!" on one of those Channel 4 countdowns. I made a note, got the DVD, and I have to say it is quite possibly the most brilliant show I have ever seen! I try to get all my Aussie friends watching it now and am thinking about buying DVDs to just give them next time I'm in Aust.
)
- Chaser's War On Everything (Brilliant Aussie political/news satire/sketch show/bit of everything. Sadly now over
)
- Curb Your Enthusiasm
- Peep Show
-----UK-----
- Ali G
- Armando Iannucci Shows
- Balls Of Steel
- Bo Selecta (after a few episodes, tends to become addictive!)
- Charlie Brooker (havn't seen a lot, but what I've seen, I've enjoyed)
- Chris Morris (The Day Today, Jam, but Brass Eye being my fav!)
- Extras
- Garth Marenghis Darkplace (Spin-Off 'talk-show' "Man To Man with Dean Learner" was also very good)
- Nathan Barley
- IT Crowd
- Mighty Boosh
- Mr. Bean

-----US/Canadian-----
- Chappelle's Show
- Metalocalypse
- Moral Orel
- South Park
- Trailer Park Boys
- Tom Green (great for strange, "WTF?"-kind-of-laughs)
-----Aussie----- (ie. the stuff noones heard of
)
- Glass House & Good News Week (kind of Aussie versions of HIGNFY)
- John Safran (Music Jamboree / Vs. God / Race Relations)
- The Adventures of Lano and Woodley
- Pizza
- Ronnie John's Half Hour
- Thank God You're Here
- Wilfred
also still enjoy "Hey Hey It's Saturday" (live Aussie variety show, which has just made a come-back after 10 years...on a Wednesday
)
...I also have Arrested Development, Lead Balloon and Time Trumpet on my "to check out" list.
I probably still missed a few out...but I think this post is long enough for now!
