on the last one i watched there was a guy peddling a bike dragging a dead dog around, and the shop keepers were torturing some road workers with hot tar banging a drum while she had her tits out after her nips had been milked by a pig  the any used tissues to be disposed of part had me laughing though |

I love it I do... Like Monkey Dust, that's another show that's excellent for the deranged mind.

It's both thank God, and I'm still waiting for Creme Brulee to get back together again. But honestly, how could anyone from S-o-T not get League of Gentlemen? It's just like watching your family and neighbours ;D

one of the best comedies ever made.
copied to hell by sketch shows since because its so good,
that marjory daws off little britian is just a shit rip off of pauline from TLOG

Marjory Dawes was on Shooting Stars before LoG... But I agree that yeah, in the context of LB, it is a rip-off.

The best comedy I've ever seen - without question - and that includes Fawlty-Towers..Blackadder and Bottom..
But you've got to watch it sequentially..i;e, watch the first series first..then the second..then the final one..or you won't 'get' the jokes...
Black, macabre, sick, disturbing...who could ever forget Tubbs and Edward, Pauline Job-Club, Les McQueen, Herr Lipp...Hilary Bliss and Papa Lazarou...HELLO DAVE...
WHATS ALL THIS SHOUTING??
WE'LL HAVE NO SHOUTING HERE...
This is a local board...for local people
;D ;D ;D

Used to watch it a lot when it was originally on, i watched a bit on Dave the other week and it really made me feel sick, it's worse than Chris Morris' Jam*.
"We didn't burn him"
*with the exception of the Jam sketch where they are trading sexual favours for real estate discount.

I'm worryingly fond of Geoffrey Boycott's "all the way out of the bed" bit from brass eye.

bloody brilliant it is a work of pure genius
Majory Dawes appeared as a character on shooting stars and was george dawes mother.
edit;
Before LOG and Pauline (Ross you're a bastard)
