Brilliant!,
By Ilana "Audiobooks have literally changed my l... (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Little Britain - The Complete Third Series (DVD)
I LOVE Little Britain. Their humour is so absurd that it's always on the verge of--and often does does--veer into the hilariously grotesque. Pushing the envelope in this day and age is no easy feat what with everybody and his or her mother vying for attention on the latest reality show, but the boys of Little Britain manage very nicely with skits which are sometimes shocking and usually utterly hilarious. I strongly recommend.

Little Britain-- Series 3,
By Carrie Margulies - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Little Britain - The Complete Third Series (DVD)
Let me preface my review by saying that I'm a die-hard fan of "Little Britain." However, I will be as unbiased as possible in my review of this DVD.I have to admit that I do agree with people's criticism that Season 3 of "LB" was not as funny as the previous 2. I didn't find the new characters they added terribly amusing, and sketches with the old favorites do tend to get a little repetitive. I've seen the episodes on BBC America, but I'm looking forward to hearing the episode commentary and deleted scenes. Having said that, I still think that there's enough laughs, giggles, and smiles in each episode to warrant purchasing this DVD. I'd kind of only recommend it for fans and purists... but please know that Matt Lucas and David Walliams' lesser work is still a million times funnier than a lot of drivel that we get here in the US. Also, as for extras, that's a real enticement to get this DVD. UK fans were disappointed because they were all previously seen television clips. But they're treats and rarities for us US fans. Matt and David never disappoint when they appear on talk shows and such, so that's guaranteed laughs for you too! All in all, if you're a fan and you're considering getting this for yourself or a friend... I'd say "Computer says yes." :) 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful

British sketch comedy today ! ! !,
By Eddie Landsberg "My 10th year as a reviewer !... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Little Britain - The Complete Third Series (DVD)
Acerbically narrated by the ultra eccentric Tom "4th Dr. Who - - guy with the scarf" Baker, Little Britain combines elements of classic British sketch humor with a contemporary twist...Like many of its predecessors, it can be delightfully rude and edgy at times... unlike other predecessors, the show does not hold back... typical scenes include a women with an increasingly extreme bladder problem and just goes everywhere... at least 5 gay/transvestite theme recurrent sketches (a closet gay prime minister, a politician who continually has to continually appear with his family and apologize and explain varying situations including "falling and accidentally landing inside someone" - - in another routine, the lead actors (guys of course) dressing up in grotesquely obese fat lady body suits (one is in black face) - - There is one other "fat" sketch... a Thai mail order bride (who turns out to be a lady boy) - - oh, and even gypsies and handicap are fair game... Despite the series unabashed use of shock humor, the fact is however, that the show is well written and acted... even so to the extent that even the most obnoxious stuff is forgivable... All in all, any show with a line like: "My own mother rejects me simply for the crime of wanting men's torches in my bum bum..." is a winner to me! All this said, I like the show... but feel a downside is that a lot of the jokes are so recurrent you can see them coming from a mile away.... nonetheless, its hard not to watch... watch... and keep watching... Though considered a "classic" by many, reviews of the show were initially mixed... like LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN and KIDS IN THE HALL (from Canada) consider this a love it or hate it thing...If you like it, you'll probably be quoting the catch phrases for ages to come... |
