I actually disagree, Blackadder is a bunch of dicks.
But Hugh Laurie is British so hah

blackadder is excellently written comedy, top-class.
house is repetitive american dross, done to an unimaginative formula. every episode is like the exact fucking same.

Matter of opinion, I guess, I don't find it funny in the slightest. Whilst house is repetitive, it's good for a switch off brain and be entertained program.Uzique wrote:

no it's not a matter of opinion, finray. you are categorically wrong, i'm sorry. there is no way you will get any comedy fan to agree with you that house > blackadder. blackadder is one of the best written television comedy series in british television history. house - whilst being a good series, no doubt - is just another basic sitcom. entertaining but hardly 'classic' comedy, is it? who will be remembering house in 25 years time? will they be reshowing house on television in the same way they do blackadder? will they be making documentaries about the filming and legacy of house like they have done for blackadder? at the end of the day house is just another mainstream network big-cash blu-ray boxset show. blackadder had a team of britain's best comedy writers and actors creating one of the most creatively fruitful series of all time. you're plain wrong. trust a scot to be so far off the mark with taste and judgement of culture. there is no debate here.

House isn't a comedy. Apples and oranges.
Also, comedies do not age well.

As much as I like House, it does have that fundamental problem CSI or any other sort of case-based show has. You pretty much knew what the outcome of every episodes is before you watch. Also, it's not strictly a comedy show and Olivia Wilde isn't even on it anymore!

just in terms of pure entertainment, writing and 'art', blackadder blows house way out of the water.
and comedies do not age well? comedy and laughter are some of the most timeless things out there, imo.
do you not find rabelais, cervantes, voltaire, swift's satire, or mark twain's observations funny? can you not still appreciate their wit?
what bs. typical lofty statement from galt that is 100% bullshit.

obviously the whole reason hugh is cast as house is because of his comedy and dry british wit. he's an entertaining figure. if it wasn't meant to be funny (even in a black or subtle sense) then they would have cast an actor with far more seriousness and gravitas.

Thank you for the wiki article line. But you can't argue black comedy is a huge part of that show.DesertFox- wrote:

It is, but I still wouldn't call the show a comedy. About the only thing comedic about it is the unrelenting formula they use in every episode. Random person collapses. House argues about taking the case. Houses team runs 70000 tests. Houses team fails. House then sits in the corner, has an epiphany from a random object. House solves the case.Macbeth wrote:

You're simple
I'm sorry for insulting what is undoubtedly your favorite show. I'm sure you're fascinated by his jaded misanthropy as it reminds you so much of yourself.Macbeth wrote:

house is incredibly simple in comparison to blackadder. it's an absurd claim to say that house is better. i can't see how it is in any way.

I only read the first sentence. I was referring to finding blackadder funny as a matter of opinion.Uzique wrote:

well you're still as wrong as i'd expect a clueless no-education no-culture scot to ever be

I don't think you can be wrong about that.. I don't find it funny.. you cannot say I'm wrong because a lot of other people find it funny. It's just the sense of humour I have, deal with it?
yeah but you probably think lee evans is funny so your opinion definitely is irrelevant.

nah lee evans is a cunt
