Best comedy ever? Okay, series 3 was a bit shit, (apart from the fat debt collector who liked scampi) but series 1 and 2 win at comedy.

Top 3 characters:

1. Pop
2. Video shop teens
3. Geoff

Go!

A blast from the past

I think I need to revisit these DVD's. I liked pop "How many Maverick baaars". The Legz Akimbo theatre group were pretty funny as well, I always remember one scene with the special stuff butcher and his local customer is hilarious in one scene (I think its where some kid says he's ready for the special stuff).

"THE NUMBER IS REAL EASY TO REMEMBER! 4444244!"

<3 Pop.

Ah Legz Akimbo was awesome as well and the Butcher. TOO MANY GOOD CHARACTERS.

"You don't eat the special stuff?"
"Someone has to stay in control."

You're insane

my conversion to LoG was the wedding speech. Brilliant.

"But your mum died. I won that one. I won the mums"

Everybody Out!

Legz Akimbo were brilliant.

The 3rd series is the best in my view..

that Pauline, Mikey and Ross love triangle is about as dark as it will get - amazing!

And what about when they have the lock in at the job centre? Come on... revisit it and appreciate it!

I'm a huge fan. I hated the film tho...

Hard to choose, but...

1) Papa Lazarou
2) Herr Lipp (for truly cringeworthy moments!)
3) Geoff (soz about that...hehe)

2) Tubs
3) Hilary (the butcher)

The scenes with

the Vet killing animals are really funny.

And the bit where Pauline is playing word association and to friends she says 'Pens' 'If they don't work you shake them about, if they still don't work you chuck 'em out'
