Comments

ChrisW

Don’t fancy any of them to be honest my time here is nearly done. Wanted still game for years it’s hilarious but a long watch so doesn’t meet the criteria. Men behaving badly was a decent shout to me but can’t be bothered with task master etc

Michael

Come on The Thick of It please let it finally be your day!!!

slashdisco

This list is dwindling now so just wanna drum up some support for "Stath Lets Flats" (18 episodes) to be added to the next short show poll. The most hilariously awkward new comedy of the last few years, very Alan Partridge-esqe!

slashdisco

You'll get your chance for Still Game very soon, Inside No 9 is in the Saturday long show slot and there's only one episode left. And not too many MBB left either, so there's another opportunity.

Ash Jeffries

I really wish Sick of It was more well known. We know how much Josh loves Karl Pilkington and it's infinitely better than the inexplicably popular and quite frankly dreadful After Life.

BelladonnicHazeyJaneII

I hope it wins soon, I haven't seen it yet but I do miss Josh's reactions to Mr Dilkington and am looking forward to seeing it :D Agree with you on Afterlife, I watched the first series and couldn't really stomach any more. Just not for me.

Jon

Hoping to see Fresh Meat make the cut soon 🤞

markymarc

You would absolutely love Coupling. I may just send you the box set to watch on your own.

Chris

The thick of it is great but the vast majority of the jokes are going to be lost on anyone who isn't up on the pop culture and political discourse in the UK at the time.

Ash Jeffries

Ah. Sick of It is really good! Well written and honest, funny and actually rather touching in places. Karl does essentially play himself but he's a lovable guy so it makes for enjoyable telly! Introspective but completely unpretentious. Far more restraint and subtlety than After Life where shovelling on "messages", sentimentality and lashings of the C word for the sake of it apparently equates to good writing! Series 1 of After Life was poor. I gave season 2 a go as I believe in second chances but it was simply appalling. I didn't bother with season 3. 🙈

Rob Thompson

Been waiting years for Dark Place. Just six episodes. Come on you lovely people, make it happen!

Ash Jeffries

Completely agree. I love it but don't feel it will make for the best reaction.

Danny

Ill be so glad when Thin Blue Line finally makes it, not be much longer at the current voting rate. Massively underrated

Scott

Get gimme gimme gimme on the list josh. Trust me

BelladonnicHazeyJaneII

Great :) that's pretty much what I'd expect from Karl so it's good to hear I won't be disappointed. Yep, that's exactly why Afterlife was way too much for me too 😬

Sam

Yeah, I'm British and I think even I won't get the jokes. I'll give the first episode a go but gave up on the movie after 30 mins or so.

BigChanChan

I loved Still Game when I was younger but tried watching it again recently and really struggled with it... Nowhere near as funny as I remember it.

Ben

The list needs a drastic overhaul, has done for a while now. There is no point in removing a couple of low voted shows just to bring them back the next time, meanwhile shows that have been requested multiple times for the past year have never made it on a poll. About ten shows should be taken off the polls so that newly requested shows have a chance, that way we can see how popular they are, if they are not popular then the rotation should continue. There are more than enough shows to fill the void if ten shows are temporarily removed from the polls. As I said, numerous shows have been requested for the past year (more actually) that have never even been on a poll. And there will be more shows if the status quo of "British Sitcom Only" is finally put to bed. Also, Wallace & Gromit is a series of 4 short films, and one feature film.

slashdisco

It's a great show but it's 30 episodes so ineligible for this poll, it's on the long show poll.

slashdisco

28 episodes, ineligible for the short show poll.

slashdisco

27 episodes, ineligible for the short show poll.

Lee

Ben, the two of us need look no more, we’ll both find one show that we’re looking for…

BigChanChan

It's a democracy and if people really wanted the regular requested shows to win, they'd still vote for them... A lot of the regualry requested shows are also done so by a minority, who repeat the same requests constantly and also constantly moan that there's too much choice because their request never gets a look in... We can't win either way... If it was less choice, me and others would be moaning that Josh was being railroaded into certain requested shows and there would also be more of a danger that we'd be constantly voting for the same type of show with that system!

Joe Gardiner

I'm not leaving till it happens!

APEX INSIDERS

This is just incorrect, 'In The Loop' reaction shows the comedy is transferable. The show references the political scenes at the time but isn't 100% necessary to know. Must be better then watching Alan Partridge for the 200th time in a row.

Sam

It's on the long show poll.

Nathan

Mighty Boosh, Darkplace, Toast of London and After life all hope to see.

Sam

I assume, as a new Monday show poll has not been put up, that we're getting Scissored Isle :)

Craig Fleming

Seeing Dark Place getting so many votes is excellent! Can’t wait to see those reacts :)

Sam Reeves

I've said it before, I'll say it again, The Thick Of It will just not work.

Sam Reeves

Shame to see Catterick being overlooked again. Josh would love it.

Hayden King

The Worst Week of My Life is definitely one to add to the list

slashdisco

Agree with this. Bxkid7 has just reacted to GGG and he freakin LOVED it. He and Josh are probably the two longest-serving Brit reactors and have watched and liked a ton of the same stuff, so I feel sure Josh would love GGG.

slashdisco

Josh replied to a lot of the comments on the last AP video to confirm that he's going to watch it next week.

Sam

Ahh ok. I saw a lot of people requested it but hadn't seen Josh had replied.

Ash Jeffries

I've been watching Bxkid7's reactions to it all too. Series 1 and 2 of GGG are a riot, outrageous and hilarious. I found series 3 odd and a considerable drop in quality overall, but I do think Josh would really enjoy it all in the main.

Danny

Been saying it about a year now 😅

Nell Sun

mmyou and he were ...buddies, weren't you? (Yes 'Darkplace' needs a win as we know Josh likes Berry and Ayoade.)

Nell Sun

I was watching that One Track Lover and the 'you and he were buddies..' clips the other day--I'm pretty sure he'd like as he liked Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade in the IT crowd.

Nell Sun

There would be continuous references to stuff Josh hasn't heard of.

Scott

Same I watch him also. He loved still game as wel lol

Scott

Yeah series 3 went over the top.

Chris

Look, I'm all for it. I think it's genius but an American isn't going to sit there 15 years down the line and not have 80% of the jokes go over his head. And that's only because the comedy is so niche and of it's time. Malcolm Tucker's insults will lose half their comedy value if you don't get the minor celebrity from the late noughties being referenced.

Chris

Detectorists needs adding and auf Wiedersehen Pet ( same writers as porridge) too. Some classics.

Rob Cummings

So excited seeing the thick of it top currently im watching it atm it’s brilliant

Colin Bayley

On the subject of the voting lists. I think eventually they are ultimately doomed. I'm a fan of Early Doors and Nighty Night but like a lot of the entries they will never win a poll. Its pointless them being on the list. They have their core fans but they are not going to get anywhere. These lists where put together at the start. They do not reflect the leaning of new patrons and because there is no effective relegation system they are never going to do so. Having the same shows endlessly revolving around the list is pointless. OK they occasionally get a month in the sin bin but they still come back . Forever. Some sort of lifespan needs to be placed into the system because if not eventually it will grind to a hault. New patrons will move on as they will have no effective input into the system. Older members will also leave eventually because they are working with continually diminishing interests . If they don't like some shows they are not going to vote for them just because they are the only things left. If your show is one of the ones that gets relegation you can still request it again but it will start behind new entries.

Sam

I guess it depends how funny and interesting you think people swearing and shouting is. I've seen a few snippets and that was enough to put me off but I'll give the first episode a go.

Ben

"Wallace & Gromit (22 Episodes)" was added to the poll that Afterlife won, almost two years ago. For some more perspective, it was added before Josh watched; The Royle Family League of Gentleman Mr. Bean Spaced Black Books One Foot in the Grave... Also, Only Fools & Horses and Peep Show were still on the lineup at that time. It remains there in error, taking a spot that could be filled by requested shows that have never been on a poll at all. Weird innit.

Alex Edwards

Firstly, there's no harm them being there. Secondly, I'm starting to get the impression some people just vote for what they like rather than what would be good for Josh to react to. It should be the latter and that doesn't even have to be something good (extremely bad things can make for the best reactions) or something you like. You can watch the things you like whenever you want.

Ben

They're taking up slots that could be given to new requests, requests that are largely ignored. If new requests aren't considered and the poll is full of shows that were requested two years ago, by patrons who may not even be here anymore, then I would say that is an issue.

Joe

Do you know about Harry Enfield and Chums, that is a really good one

Colin Bayley

The harm is they never go away. If something is not going to be winning a poll what purpose do they serve? As for my personal taste there is nothing I really like that could ever win a poll so please don't accuse me of trying to rig anything. It's difficult judging Joshs comedy preferences as he's been pushed into a very small corner of British comedy. I'm against the Animal Farm aspect of this site were the ones that are more equal can get things stricken from the list's at will. I don't like those entries either but they they should take their chances like everything else. I'm also not so self obsessed that I think because I like something then obviously Josh will too.

Dan Hooper

yeah i was thinking about that recently, that show is hilarious!! lol

BelladonnicHazeyJaneII

:/ To be honest I wish Josh would scrap the entire poll and ask everyone to make suggestions all over again. Then do a new poll for the top 20 requested shows or something. Start over fresh.

APEX INSIDERS

Unfortunately I agree, being here from the start it feels like we're just slowly going down in quality of UK shows (also the membership has been in decline for quite a while which probably back its up).

Sadbnnuy

Another poll of voting for House of Fools ..one day

Josh

Hello Ladies is pretty underrated I would say

Colin Bayley

Daniel. The list's are stagnant. In every other situation stagnation means death. But everybody else know better. I'll just wait for the return of the archons.

Ben

I agree 100%, much of this list was requested at the beginning of the patreon, by now former patrons probably.

Lee

Anyone else starting to get tired of the constant arguments on these polls? 😂 if there are shows that you aren’t interested in viewing along with Josh then leave for a few months.

Sam

An issue with the short show poll is you have shows like Lifes Too Short (that got millions of viewers on TV) which is short because Gervais only wanted to do one season and others which are short because they got cancelled as hardly anyone wanted to watch them. The cancelled ones aren't going to do great numbers on here either.

Chris H

Was tired of it months ago... Someone moaning that a show they like or requested isn't on the list. Check. Someone moaning there are no good shows left so they're going to end their membership. Check. Someone slagging off a popular show on the list. Check. Someone moaning a show is too British and Josh won't get it. Check. Someone going on about a long show despite this being the short list poll. Check. We're just missing someone insulting people's intelligence for liking a certain show, someone moaning that Taskmaster shouldn't be on the short show list, that Tony guy making snarky remarks, and the list is complete.

Rich Smyth

Come on Dark Place! More people need to watch that show in general

Colin Bayley

Your a new patron. You request a show to go on a list. How many years do you wait for that show to appear? Or more likely, how many years do you put up with being ignored without any feedback? Most of the shows on the list's have been there since the year dot. Each will have a hard-core following but some will never be popular enough to win a poll. The whole list system is based on what the original take up was into. Some of them would have left. The new members may make up a different demographic so some of the least popular shows may even be less popular. They will never be represented. They have no chance of being represented because there is no function for their ideas to see the light of day. The list's have to be more organic to represent the current situation not what it was years ago. The current system is constipated with the sin bin trying to give some sort of relief and add a little extra to the numbers on the list. But if nothing ever goes away it will always be stagnant.

Lee

Nightmare isn’t it? Probably best to leave for a few months if you feel you aren’t getting value for the membership. You can still log back on to his patreon and see what shows are being uploaded whilst you’re not subscribed. Just need to pay to actually watch the videos. So once your shows are picked, you can then subscribe. Pointless you paying the $4 (or whatever it is you pay) and not enjoy any of the shows he reacts to.

Right Said Brett

It warms the cockles of my heart to know that I'm not the only one who considers After Life to be absolutely horrendously awful television. It's hackneyed, badly written, manipulative garbage.

Right Said Brett

Coupling is wonderful; hilarious and incredibly inventive (with virtually every episode featuring a unique storytelling gimmick). Sadly, I think it's a show which far too few people are aware of, so it's unlikely to ever win in the polls. Which is a great shame, because I guarantee that Josh and the vast majority of Patreon viewers would love it.

Ben

@Chris H, to your first point, you don't see that as a legitimate concern? All of these shows were originally put on the poll by request, so we can assume that requesting shows puts them on the polls, but that doesn't happen anymore. If you look at the previous polls, you can see the sentence "Shows added to this Poll: Filthy Rich & Catflap - 6 Episodes" repeated multiple times, even though it's always scored badly. For the past two years you can see "Wallace & Gromit - 22 Episodes" on the poll, that error hasn't been corrected. New shows that were never on the poll have been requested numerous times, but ignored, I think it's fair enough if people leave comments asking why. When Vicar of Dibley was on the long show poll people pointed out that it was actually a short show, they weren't complaining, they were just pointing it out, but it wasn't noticed until the show won, and the long show day had to be swapped around. Not all of these comments are argumentative, I have no ill feeling about any of the shows on the list, I just think new requests deserve a chance, and if improvements can be made to the voting system they should be considered. Early on in this patreon, people left suggestions like "One day should be a movie day", "Long running shows should only take up two or three slots" or "Sketch shows should be relegated to youtube". Those comments weren't dismissed as people complaining, they were considered, and put into effect. I'm not speaking about people belittling other's choice in comedy, but honestly I don't think I've seen that at all in these comments.

Ben

Randomly caught a couple of episodes of that on tv a couple of nights ago, found myself totally charmed by it, very funny show. Having said that it counts as a long show, so it wouldn't be on this poll anyway.

Daniel Dimmick

This country needs more votes, would love to see this
