minus-square/home/pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·20 days agoI feel this for some British comedy shows. I love British comedies like IT Crowd, Black Books, Fleabag. But man, those shows that think making people cringe really hard is funny like the original Office doesn’t do it for me.
minus-squareDominusOfMegadeus@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·21 days agoSame. If you want some actually laugh out loud hilarious cringe humor, I highly recommend Peep Show with Mitchell and Webb.
minus-squareotacon239@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·21 days agoI will never forget the dog episode. This show was singed in my mind. Also a favorite of mine.
minus-squareDominusOfMegadeus@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·21 days agoThe turkey incident tho. (I need to do a rewatch.)

minus-squareDominusOfMegadeus@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·21 days agoThe British will always win at police procedural/mystery/dramas and deadpan comedies.
minus-squareSnot Flickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·21 days agoOr the police procedural mystery deadpan comedy A Touch Of Cloth!
