I don't see how it's funny, just not my thing I guess, and I'm from the late great British toilet humour era, I grew up with 'The Young Ones', 'Bottom', 'The Comic Strip Presents...' etc.

First series was an amusing novelty, but then it started to get a bit "samey", and then the effin and blindin started to creep in - at that point you know they have run out of ideas and anyone/thing that then resorts to swearing to get a laugh means they have reached rock bottom.

It's not clever or funny and shows a lack of comedy writing skills.

GOOD comedy doesn't do swearing - think of all the classic sitcoms over the years that didn't rely on it.

Well there's a difference between using swearing as a last resort when the ideas dry up, and the use of swearing in good comedy. 'Derek and Clive' being a prime example, you have the funniest man who ever drew breath and his sidekick talking utter filth and being painfully hilarious, but then again, it isn't really fair to compare any comedy against the genius of Peter Cook, he had his own rule book.

I dont find it funny at all - and I personally think I have very broad sense of humour.

having said that I dont like "Miranda" either, which everyone seems to love....??
