I realised how bad sketch shows usually are, little britain is terrible and i couldn't believe that their most annoying and unfunny characters got no. 1. Still all those "old favourites" aren't up to much either, the two ronnies, morcambre and wise, terrible.

Is it just me, or is Little Britain just the same jokes over and over again?

i think i briefly met you on friday, were you standing next to rachie near the end of the bar? i probably said something about her hat.

and yeah, little britain is such a "bandwagon comedy", that's why i think the sketches (or whatever is in the top 100/50) should have to be around for a while to see if they stand the test of time.
