Another Brit here who thinks it is crap. I only watched 10 minutes and would like that part of my life back. ---

šŸ˜ƒ I am usually not a fan of lowbrow humor, but ā€œLittle Britainā€ now resides next to ā€œAce Ventura: Pet Detectiveā€ as two things that absolutely make me wet my pants. I have _no_ idea why - Iā€™m embarrassed to admit I am a fan of either one, but they just hit some nerve with me. VCNJ~ > [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > Computer says no. ---

I watched the first series of the original and thought it was so hilarious - and then I rapidly started to go off it when they started to go for more gross-out humour, dumb stereotypes and the repetitive nature of it all became really obvious. Iā€™m not sure why or how it ever appealed to me, it became so crap. The US version is terrible from what Iā€™ve seen. ---

> [@SomeBodyUK](#): > > Many Americans seem to like Ab Fab, which I loathe. Jesus Christ, I DESPISE that show. I have a pitch-black sense of humor, so am not offended at all, but itā€™s just completely devoid of humor. Iā€™m also one of the few Americans I know who canā€™t stand Tracy Ullman - a complete non-talent as far as her TV shows go. Maybe sheā€™s a great chef or something, or can fix cars - she should do something sheā€™s GOOD at. Joe ---

No, youā€™re not missing anything. Thereā€™s nothing there to miss. ---

Yep. Got old very quickly. ā€˜Vicky Pollardā€™ is especially annoying. I caught a bit of the U.S. version last night. I chuckled a couple of things, but itā€™s not a show I really need to see.
