Little Britain Audience Reviews

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
terryhall2 It's not easy to write comedy nowadays with so many people claiming some sort of 'injury' from a comment or remark, and I guess the show does indeed show us the state of Britain today. What more can be said about that? Yet, sadly, we now seem to have humour that is cruel, hurtful, crass, and basically unfunny - all the things levelled at humour in the 70s by right-on alternative comedians (the 70s humour was gentle, cheeky, and genuinely engaging as well as funny) Many scenes in Little Britain are distasteful or meant for shock value. I'm all for non-PC shows, if there is genuine humour, and whilst in Little Britain there are some good moments - mainly Tom Baker's voice-over comments - much is repeated and the lines are just not funny. Mainly because I find most of the characters loathsome,,,(rather like that ghastly Catherine Tate's schoolgirl) I'm sorry but David Walliams constantly dressed as a woman feels somewhat creepy too. Not the worst show but I can't see why it's deserving of all those plaudits; maybe because there's a paucity of good comedy nowadays.
MartinHafer I am a fan of this show, as the skits they do are often very, very funny and disturbing, although I must admit that I wish the repertoire of skits was greater. Each episode features almost the exact same small group of characters as done brilliantly by Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Most are of the characters are very funny, but even some of the funny ones lose their punch when you see the same characters episode after episode.Some of the ones that are exceptional and don't seem to get old with repeated segments are the adventures of Daffyd, the only gay in Llandewi Brefi (a town I visited on my last trip to Wales because of this show), the nasty lady at the Fat Fighters club meeting, the two transvestites and the bizarre narration by Tom Baker (of Dr. Who fame). Some, though funny, just seem to lose steam after a while (such as the guy who breast feeds). And one or two are just so gross that I cannot watch the show with my wife, as she'll leave the room (in particular, the guy who is sexually attracted to old ladies--fortunately this gross skit isn't seen that often).If you have a rather strong constitution and like your humor very twisted and gross, then give this a watch. Also, those who like THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN will probably love this show and vice-versa--they both really, really push the limits of taste but are quite funny for twisted folks like myself. However, do NOT let your kids watch it--the subject matter is often very adult, as is the language and there is some nudity.
Leopold2 Little Britain is a hilarious British Comedy that stars Matt Lucas and David Walliams that play several characters each. This has made me laugh in many ways such as Marjorie Dawes (Fat Fighters), Carol "Computer Says No" Beer, Judy and Maggie, Mr Mann, "Bubbles" De Vere etc. Most of it gives me a laugh although it gets repetitive and predictable after a while and it's not so funny. Always watch a couple of episodes at once because of that reason Ignoring that it is a typical British comedy that will lighten you up when you are feeling down. Great show and very funny. 4.5/5
lothd The modern approach to making TV series and movies is very much in evidence here: hit them with all you've got and hope that it sticks. For "Little Britain" that means outrageous characters like the wheelchair-bound guy who really isn't, the adult guy who still loves being breast-fed by his mother or any female relative, the gay guy who prefers to think he's the only one in his village, cross-dressing men and frontal nudity galore. Running gags are repeated to the point of nausea (literally so in the case of the vomiting "lady"). The low-brow humour is only partially appealing. Hearing an old man talk about his experiences in mutual masturbation as a youth solicits laughter not because it's funny to hear, but because it's just plain outrageous. A complete lack of subtlety brings everything down.The Monty Pythons had a policeman chasing them away when the sketch got too silly or the studio audience storm the stage when the gags got too tasteless - something that I sorely missed here. Not surprisingly, "Little Britain" has only about half the number of episodes that the Monty Python series had.6 out of 10 for sheer recklessness - and not much else.
