      Best Sketch Shows
      Jan 02, 2010 12:05:51 am
      Was watching something the other night about Not The Nine O'Clock News and I've gotta admit it was the best sketch shows although nothing will beat the Two Ronnies in my opinion.

      Never really found Morecombe and Wise overly funny though on the odd occasion can make me laugh. Some of Harry Enfield and Chums' characters were funny as F**k such as Wayne and Waynetta, The Scousers but some were just pathetic. Little Britain was alright for the first episode then they just milked it with the same jokes over and over and over again.

      Do shows like Dead Ringers, Spitting Image and Alistair McGowan's Big Impression count as sketch shows or are they on their own as impressionist shows? Dead Ringers was a quality show regardless of what subject it's put under.

      The Mary Whitehouse Experience was a good mix of sketch & topical comedy, Sarcastic Ray, Jarvis, Milky Milkly & History Today were very funny.

      Not the Nine O'clock News, that was really funny. Twas back in the 80's so a lot of you will not remember it, but god it was good.

      I enjoy the Mighty Boosh quite a bit.  I've only seen the stuff on youtube, but it cracks me up a good deal.
