Comedy series that you don't find funny

Chat Forum Helper, Entertainment Forum Helper

Comedy is the most subjective genre - something that might be absolutely hilarious to one person might be completely lost on another. Or, perhaps the writing is just so terrible that nobody's laughing.

Which (so-called) comedy series do nothing for you? :indiff:

The one that stands out for me (having aired just before I effectively gave up TV in 2010) is the BBC sitcom Big Top... and judging by the IMDB score and reviews, I wasn't alone! Amanda Holden's acting was dreadful in this.

The Big Bang theory is bone dry humour.

Friends.

I started watching it for the first time recently when it got added to Netflix and I can't say it's that good. I really tried to get into it but I only watch it now if I'm eating or something and just want something quick to watch.

Also Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I've never encountered a more annoying character than Kimmy in my entire life.

Friends and the Big Bang Theory are the main ones that do nothing for me. However, Only Fools and Horses never fails me. "Watching" is a really funny Liverpool comedy from the 1980s/90s. I just don't find the American comedies funny, I only get British humour

US version is better than the UK version which I dislike more. Still not a huge fan of the US one but the first aid scene made me howl. :laugh:

tbh I used to be the same, only rlly liked British humour. however....have you seen the simpsons or frasier?? They're the 2 comedies (shown a lot in the UK too) that actually never fail to make me laugh. plus frasier is so posh it's almost british-esque
