Comedy WARS: Spaced vs Black Books

[Mellotron]

Neither are classic by any stretch of the imagination, but solid comedies with a fair bit in common.

Simon Pegg or Dylan Moran?

vs.

Spaced not a classic? tsk..

 

[brakespear]

Spaced, easily.

 

[halbpro]

Black Books.

 

[beorhthelm]

Spaced by a country mile.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Spaced is an absolute classic. Black Books is also very good, but Spaced all the way here.

Hand on heart, I've never even heard of either of them.

Spaced is one of the best comedies ever made. It's my favourite for the title.

 

[LU7 RED]

For anyone who hasn't seen 'Spaced', just try it. One of those that 'YOU WILL LIKE!'...Honestly. Fantastic series - Pegg, Frost & Jess Stephenson? (now married).

Heard of Simon Pegg? - best thing he's ever done by a mile.

Same for Dylan Moran barring his better stand up shows.

Nope, neither of them.

I am getting old.

Is The Royle Family going to make it into this competition? Underrated/unrecognised sitcom. Consistently good for three series' (although the most recent specials have been poor). Superbly candid portrayal of working-class life, with excellent delivery from all the characters which makes it all the more relatable. The 'Queen of Sheba' episode where the Nan dies is my favourite episode of any sitcom, ever; it's funny, sentimental (without being corny), poignant and so true to life. Liz Smith's performance in it is exceptional.

Spaced was about 10 years ago

Spaced was about 10 years ago

About the same time that I gave up on anything new comedy wise then.

I'm in the same boat here

Did you ever re-tune your TVs to the 4th channel?

Blasphemy. Spaced is a defining part of my youth and still incredibly funny.
