Ben Stiller to receive British comedy award

[EcksDee]

Is it just me or is he not funny.

[Hardpoint Nomad]

Holy shit he got old, look at the picture in the OP

[ExplodingGuy]

I thought the British knew comedy...

[Noobmaster]

[QUOTE=Mad Chatter;31911994]Ben Stiller annoys me because he always plays some neurotic and exasperated character in any movie in which he is the star.[/QUOTE]

Zoolander.....*cringe*

[Hiccuper]

[QUOTE=Terminutter;31912502]Also Blackadder, Father Ted (well, partially Irish), Fawlty Towers, Phoenix Nights e.t.c
Or, more modern, Outnumbered or the Inbetweeners. (though it just makes me cringe)[/QUOTE]

Father Ted is almost completely Irish, it was just produced and broadcast by channel 4.

Obligatory Charlie Brooker video to prove superiority of British comedy.[/QUOTE]

It's blocked in the UK...

So who the hell are they showing it to?

I absolutely love retro british comedy. Dave Allen is my favourite comedian.

[Cypher_09]

He's aging very well I think.

[Shibbey]

The Young Ones was the best comedy Britain ever produced. It was just apeshit and it was fantastic.

Monty Python > all

[ken188]

Monty Python isn't even funny. You guys aren't proving your point at all.

[MarkG06]

At least Ben Stiller can be funny, better than Owen what's his face.

It's only funny if you're intelligent, sorry dude.

[Paleman]

oh man reading just the first page of this thread makes me want to rewatch Father Ted, Phoenix Nights and Max and Paddies Road to Nowhere.

[karbine]

I despise american comedy

it's all just farts, sex, balls, and obscene language

british comedy is witty

[Scoops]

I grew up on The Young Ones and other such shows, I love British comedy.

also The UK Office is best Office.

No, my favorite bit is probably the crossword part.

This is comedy.

Ben Stiller is bland as all fuck. Can't act for shit. I only liked the movies he was in for the other actors who were actually funny and/or knew how to act better.

[Swilly]

[QUOTE=cqbcat;31912442]British comedy is superior to American comedy.[/QUOTE]

An Opinion I agree with.

Piss myself everytime.

[Tunak Mk. II]

I have no clue as to why Ben Stiller is getting a British award.

[taishu]

So in conclusion:
Typical modern American comedy:

There's so much product placement in American "comedy" films it's unbelievable.
