I got the box set of in sickness and in health. Watched some the other day, made me spit out my drink! The things that were in it that you wouldn't get away with now! Got some great lee Evans ones too. Also bought a Tom stade live DVD for under a pound. Made me laugh out loud! Watch Jim jefferies on you tube, his bit on gun control. Excellent.

You only got to watch Alf garnett to realise how sensitive everyone has become! God knows what would happen to the new generations if they had to fight for their liberty.

What makes me laugh is some of the antics of my grandchildren , just some of the things they do or say is just so natural and and hilarious , I really wish I could capture all those little gems on film.

Does the new series of porridge count as humour? I'll get me coat! Anyone seen this abomination of a remake! Utter utter, utter rubbish. What has happened to bbc comedy. Are there no standards of what comes on TV these days? It's like they put programs together but never watch them before they air! What drivel we are subjected to these days.

I'm not a great lover of the constant repeats we get but I'd rather see yet another repeat of the original than this crap. Why didn't they make it a stand alone prison comedy and not a worse than poor imitation?

I know humour is subjective but reading between the lines I'd say we are all around the same age/generation and like similar types of humour. So my question is what was the last bbc situation comedy that was any good in your opinion and the year it finished. By this I mean it has to give you a laugh out loud. I say this because bbc used to have a great record on this, but that now seems a lifetime away. Oh while we are at it has itv EVER had a stand out sit com. So does that mean the art of a British sit com is on the verge of dead?

Yep I'll give you car share, also liked gimme, quite old now. I forgot about them too. I hate mrs Browns, Miranda, citizen khan, so cringeworthy. It's like comedy comes second to an agenda.

Three Labrador retrievers, chocolate, yellow, and black, are sitting in the waiting room at the vet's office when they strike up a conversation. The black lab turns to the chocolate and says, "So why are you here?" The chocolate lab replies, "I'm a pisser. I piss on everything - the sofa, the drapes, the cat, the kids. But the final straw was last night, when I pissed in the middle of my owner's bed." The black lab says, "So what is the vet going to do?" "Gonna give me Prozac," came the reply from the chocolate lab. "All the vets are prescribing it. It works for everything."

The black lab then turns to the yellow lab and asks, "Why are you here?" The yellow lab says, "I'm a digger. I dig under fences, dig up flowers and trees, I dig just for the hell of it. When I'm inside, I dig up the carpets. But I went over the line last night when I dug a great big hole in my owner's couch." "So what are they going to do to you?" the black lab inquired. "Looks like Prozac for me too," the dejected yellow lab said.

Then the yellow lab turns to the black lab and asks what he's at the vet's office for. I'm a humper," the black lab says. "I'll hump anything. I'll hump the cat, a pillow, the table, fire hydrants,whatever. I want to hump everything I see. Yesterday, my owner had just got out of the shower and was bending down to dry her toes, and I just couldn't help myself I hopped on her back and started humping away."

The yellow and chocolate labs exchange a sad glance and say, "So, Prozac for you too, huh?" The black lab says, "No, I'm here to get my nails clipped." ;)
