Not as weird as The League of Gentlemen. Now that WAS weird.Yes - it's another one of those warped, twisted humour shows, that works with inuendo, tounge in cheek comments -
You know - the sort of thing that us Phoms are good at - being weird !!!!
You really need a 'strange' sense of humour to really appreciate it - which I guess is why I like it so much

SubscriberIt sounds like I've missed a good comedy show , would you believe I don't watch much Telli , incidentally I didn't know what tongue and cheek Humour meant and Googled it.It was on the ABC, and, as many people don't take advantage of their 10 cents a day,, so here is what I found
Tongue-in-cheek humour in fiction often takes the form of gentle parodies. Such stories seem to abide by the conventions of an established serious genre, while in reality, they gently poke fun at some aspects of that genre. A tongue-in-cheek work still relies on these conventions and is not the same as a farce.

don't worry there is nothing good about it. And the fact people quote lines from it constantly makes it even worse. It reminds me of how people always quoted monty python and it just ain't funny unless you are watching the show. Except little Britain is never funny.

It is one of those shows that pushes the boundaries of just how far comedy is prepared to go.
It seems to take great delight in being outrageous.
There will never be universal agreement about just how funny any given TV comedy show is. Different people have different tastes.
Humour often comes from something being different, unexpected, incongruous, or unconventional.
Most people who like the show recognise that some of the humour is derived from the surprise element. It's often surprising just how far they are prepared to go.
Each to his own.
