there was some similar thing with some shit called the green... wing, or something. it's just unsympathetic characters doing stupid shit-- not funny.
i think you bitches are confusing mean spirited with funny. maybe it's a british social s/m thing.
on the other hand you have awesome shit like black adder, black books (the first 2 series, not the 3rd), mr bean, and fawlty towers, which my wife has by now memorized line by line. oh and the original office-- that was great too-- and i liked extras.

Peep show is not meanspirited at all, and I'm not British.

What? The argument isn't about who is SUCCESSFUL, it is who is comedically relevant. Any random ass guy can come up with some interesting humor, that doesn't mean he constantly plays to packed houses. Same thing about a band -- I wouldn't say "oh, you haven't sold 10 million copies"; I'd say, "What song have you written as good as 'Super Go'?"

Wait, so you think you're the judge of what is "good" or not?
Wait, so people who are very funny but don't have the means to promote themselves are less funny than people who are unfunny but heavily promoted because their less relevant?
Wait, so you're saying Dane Cook was the funniest guy on the planet a few years ago?
And what you're basically saying is that anyone who hasn't achieved the same success as another person or group has no right to form an opinion on them. That's fucking RETARDED. And wait, so you think you've written a song as good as "Super Go," which is what gives you the right to decide how good it is and how good or bad other music is? Do other people? Maybe you should stop forming opinions and sharing them online until we can reach a consensus and see if that's true.
Which of your songs would you like to submit for consideration? I'll start forming the panel of judges.

I think the deal with the characters in Peep Show that while they lack almost any redeeming qualities they have such numerous bad qualities that we can see our own worse behaviour reflected in them, and then we laugh at ourselves. But I can understand this kind of humour may go right over the heads of the pompous, egomaniacal, or unself-aware.
