There hasn't been a week since when I haven't looked at some student or other and thought "the water....." But it still isn't as good as the "overdone it on the sherry" one. For me the best ad ever.

I'm glad I was a young person when I was - in the 1970s and '80s. We're getting the benefit of all the 1960s Sci-Fi concepts coming true, from a period when we were optimistic about solving the problems of the world through technology. Now there are twice the amount of people on the planet, over-population is causing a lot of stresses and strains we haven't seen before. Plus, British people were known for their sense of humour in the old days: I think we started losing that when 21st century 'comedians' stopped telling jokes and just started moaning about life instead...or when telling a joke became offensive to other people. 🤔🛸🚀
@bganonimouse27542 жыл бұрын
@@jamesbussey2911 Mostly agree but not about the comedy - still a lot of great comedy about and if I compare it to the likes of Benny Hill and Dick Emery or even Kenny Everett. To give you your due ,you can raise me an Only Fools and Horses which came a bit later. Overall I'd say the decline in British (or global?) comedy is true but I don't think its anything to do with telling offensive jokes. Its dumbing down for family viewing and the relentless barrage of so called reality TV that is in the ascendancy. People are obsessed with celebrities now and have less time for comedy or comedians.
