Shabadu 0 Posted March 1, 2002 I have had a browse and I can't believe there isn't any mention of the late Spike Milligan! Such a great comedian deserves more recognition than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shabadu 0 Posted March 1, 2002 Spike was possibly the epitome of British comedy. Just thought it may have led to a thread of light hearted humour in his honour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Op 0 Posted March 1, 2002 well i never even heard of him till he died, i saw some clips on "open house" on channel 5 *looks embarrased and hides in corner* were he was talking about the millenium dome and that statue of half a woman, and it was pretty funny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nordin dk 0 Posted March 1, 2002 Need to change your avatar though, Paladin. It doesn't load (right now anyway) Who's the chick at the bottom? Can someone post a picture of this (dead) guy, so I can see if he even rings a bell... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallenPaladin 0 Posted March 1, 2002 The Simpsons are my favourite, too!!! I remember not so many english comedians right now, only Monty Python of course and Benny Hill (maybe because of the chicks )... We germans are not big fans of british humour. Most germans think it`s to harsh. But I like it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are English, and you've never heard of Spike Milligan? Spike Milligan was the comedian that Monty Python copied. The "Goon Show" was a milestone in radio broadcasting. He was an incredibly funny author as well. Fortuneatly for you, now he's dead, the media maggots will probably put his books back on the shelves to cash in. Watch out for "Puckoon," and his war memoirs; the first book being "Adolf Hitler; My part in his downfall," followed by "Rommel? Gunner Who?" and ending with "Montgomery; My Part in His Victory." Read them. they are amongst the funniest words ever written Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nordin dk 0 Posted March 1, 2002 The Brits have lots of good humor. Monty Python or course, subsequently Fawlty Towers. Blackadder was great, Mr.Bean periodically funny. Then there are the people who made The Young Ones & Â Bottom and more stuff. Now...Smack The Pony, Ali G (hilarious) and many more... I see it now Paladin, looks like Magneto from X-Men Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hilandor 1 Posted March 1, 2002 yes spike milligan was one of the finest comediens about his radio shows with peter sellers ( inspector cleuso from pink panther films i think) and harry secombe were fantastic. His telly performances were unreal i watched his tribute and found him laughing at his own jokes, i find that is the making of a good comedien that laughs at his own stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
