Mrs Brown's Boys should be no. 1. It's possibly the worst thing I've ever seen on TV
Haven't seen it in years but I'd heard it was bad
@@AdjisOutAndAbout I found it highly embarrassing it made me squirm in my chair. It made me feel very uneasy.
It's not even British. It's from the Republic of Ireland.
@phillwainewright4221 shhhh don't tell everyone... it's like eurovision letting Australia perform .. I'm accepting Republic of Ireland
With you on Mrs Browns Boys. It was always shite (or SHOITE) as you would call it.
Thank you I try
Ab fab was hilarious ffs 😂 sorry was brilliant
Lol atleast it's low on the Countdown. I was never a fan
Absolutely Fabulous? My Family? Are you insane? I mean, you don’t even go into any detail for any of them, you just say “It’s bad.”
Perhaps I could of gone into more detail but this just a merely a guide of bad sitcoms
My Family is dogshit.
@@mrmajeika6101 It was hilarious.
Ever decreasing circles i found more depressing than funny, probably as the characters leading sad lives.
Yea that one pre dates me but I've never actually watched it either
I always wanted to punch Richard Briers, couldn’t stand him in anything.
I do agree about Mrs brown its utter rubbish ...
Thank you so I've seen
I think Citizen Khan, Vicious and All About Me are examples of someone having a progressive idea for a sitcom but not having any real humourous ideas to back it up. In Vicious, Sir Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi are such big names it's not made much difference to their reputations in the acting world but I think it's a shame that Jasper Carrott's tail end of his tv career more or less ended with All About Me.
Completely agree
Not having access to a TV since 1999, I believe it was the correct choice....
Probably is
I never got AbFAb. It's all lovely darling lovey darling. Joke got boring!
Yes it was tedious wasn't it
I didn't like it either.
@ruthbashford3176 yea no good I always thought . Although Jennifer saunders is meant to be a decent actress you would never have known it
If you didn't get the joke with AbFab, you were probably the target.
@@chrisoneill3999 probably right
Mrs Browns Boys 20th? Shane at 19? Surely this list is back to front. Nothing could be worse than either of these. And sorry to be pedantic , but Timothy Lumsden was 48 when Sorry was binned in 1988 as he couldn't have stayed 41 for seven years
Thanks for your comment.. all placings are just personal preference
Agree with all of them mate, bar Sorry. Which I loved
Can't win them all lol . Thank you for your comment
Can't argue with most of your choices - though I actually think 'Sorry!' is really funny. One you have missed out though is Jim Davidson's 'Up The Elephant and Round the Castle' which is so poor and unfunny it should exist in its own separate universe of bad sitcoms.
Yea I should of put that in .. my dad told me it was crap
Great stuff. I glad to say I never bothered with a single episode of any of them. Never bothered with the soaps either.
Thanks very much 😀
My family stopped being funny years before it actually ended. My hero was crap from the very first episode and gradually got worse the longer it went on. Bottle boys should never have been made and must never never be broadcast again it's shite.
Thanks for your comment I'm glad you agree
Was expecting "Heil Honey, I'm Home" to be number one, but it didn't even get a mention.
I'd heard of that ... was that a British Sitcom?
@@AdjisOutAndAboutYes, only the pilot was ever shown.
When it comes to countdown lists of terrible TV shows I think mentioning ‘Heil Honey I’m Home’ and ‘My Mother the Car’ is almost a cliché at this point.
@@AsherPiesman il have to look those up
@@AdjisOutAndAbout Yes, I think.
'Absolutely Fabulous' deserves a higher placing. Surprised not to see 'Little Britain', 'The Mighty Boosh' and 'The League Of Gentlemen'. Plus 'Miranda'. Why anyone finds the sight of Miranda Hart falling over every two minutes side-splittingly hilarious is a mystery. And Peter Kay should be included because one of his shows mocked a disabled person. I wrote to him to complain but he did not bother to reply.
Thank you for your reply ... yes I understand miranda was crap to .. the mighty boost yea that was a turd so poor I didn't remember it
What a bright, vital and charismatic presentation. Thanks algorithm.
And thanks for watching
I thought Slingers Day was surprisingly good.
To be honest I've seen it before and thought it could be a 5.5 out of 10 it replaced Leonard rossiters version which was apparently even worse than slingers day
I was surprised that Barbara wasn't in the list.
Was that a sitcom or a drama ?
@@AdjisOutAndAbout I got mixed up, I meant to say Barbara.
@misterfischer2177 oh yea I remember that
Hold the sunset is a deserved winner in this list of losers. What was Cleese thinking??
Absolutely shite wasn't it
Last of the summer wine was the most unfunny thing on tv for far too long
It appealed to alot of older folk though
is it a good thing ive never heard ANY of these?
Yes and no .. yes that your eyes have been spared and no that you have never had the experience of having the torture of some of these.. strengthens your character
As time goes by should not only be #1....it should be minus #1 it was so dull. If it had not been advertised as a comedy I doubt I'd have even realised it was supposed be one. Given a choice between watching that dirge or watching paint dry, I'd be reaching for the Dulux paints colour charts.
Lol thanks for the comment. Yea I remember it being dull
What about "Her Majesty's Pleasure " (1968)? Only ran for one 6-episode season, the first ever sitcom set in a prison (7 years before Porridge!) Made by Granada.
Oh right I've never heard of that one trevor
My Family was a ratings winner for the BBC, thats why it lasted so long. Plus it was great. Much funnier than Mrs Browns Boys which is a stinking piece of garbage.
And My Hero was hilarious. Mrs Raven and Dr Crispin were the two best characters after George.
Thanks for the comment ... my hero was OK in its early days
Sorry, mate…AbFab was f**king hilarious!
I don't remember it that way but atleast it's low on the Countdown lol
I'm with you mate, defo should be nowhere near this list.
@@russell-di8js personal preference... if you like it you like it .. I do not lol
Not to me it wasn't
What’s funny about it? 2 people who can’t act saying the same things over and over again whilst playing drunk?
To be fair to My Family.... You're right that towards the end it turned shite. The two leads, Robert Lindsay and Zoe Wanamaker both refused to film two episodes because the writing was so crap.
But reading about it's creation is quite interesting. It was the BBC attempting to create an American style show. With a writers room and showrunner. Starting production before the last episode of the series was filmed, which is the standard in America. With an experiment to see how this could work for other genres....
As it turns out. Not great. British tv works best when all episodes are filmed before broadcast.
Wow great bit Of knowledge there didn't know that ... problem with that show is was full of woodentop actors like the younger son the ditzy blond the weird Rodger bloke ... dragged it down even more
It was not funny at all. I can only assume Zoe Wannamaker who is a good actress did it for the money.
Mrs Brown definitely awful 😢
Indeed that's why it's in the countdown
Good list glad you said ab fab. Maybe and you said a re watch of as time goes by is on order as I saw some of the earlier episodes recently. I thought the was pretty good.
Yes that's true it was a sitcom that ran right through my childhood but I remember been like a old farts show lol il have to watch it again as a adult
@@AdjisOutAndAbout Also and it has been said before give a Sorry another go. Once again saw it recently oddly enough on the same Channel BBC 4. But I agree with you on My Family it went on for too long .
@@henrysmith4584 thank u
Language Timothy ...sorry was funny in the 1980s when I was a youngster 😂
Thank you please consider Subscribing
You've given me a few things to watch/rewatch.
At the very least then I've achieved something lol
I don't mind telling you, if Last of the Summer Wine was on this list I would have gone feral with fury. And I believe that the Inbetweeners should have been no 1. That had precious little humour in the programme. It wun awards why? The scripts were dreadful.
Even spawned 2 films
@@AdjisOutAndAbout Would you care to clarify that.
@@charliedrosario999 the inbetweeners had 2 films made off the back of the show
Vicious was fucking amazing!
Just wasn't for me good idea to start with but got a bit tired some for me
Absolutely fabulous with Jennifer Saunders and my family with Zoe Wananaker and Chris marshal and Robert Lindsay was by far the greatest sitcoms, I have both sitcoms all of there seasons on DVD,
Wow that's a statement. Each to their own though if you like it you like it
Other rubbish sitcoms 'The Spice of Life' and 'Life without George'. I also never found 'Shelley' funny.
Never actually seen those ones ..I've heard of shelly
I rather liked Citizen Khan. Certainly not great, but funny enough, five or six laughs per show. And nothing objectionable good while you eat you dinner telly.
Yea was OK in small doses
Are you being served. Dire
I included it in another countdown
AYBS was actually very funny in the first few series but admittedly they flogged the show to death in later series with tired scripts and ridiculous situations.
What about constant hot water? That was shite!
Don't know that one ... who was in that
Another one Gavin and Stacey 🤮🤮
I always thought that was OK lol
Count Arthur Strong was ok..Dont remember the Wright way.
Consigned to history
When Mrs Browns Boys came out at first i really enjoyed it , but it got a bit played out the same thing every week My Family which was good but it ended it ran its course and remember other comedy Romany Jones featuring Jimmy Beck from Dads Army which only went one series he was still the same character as he did in Dads Army the spiv
Alot of people can only play one character .. stephen lewis played blakey on everything .. John inman the extraverted homosexual for example
Odd Man Out and Curry and Chips were hilarious. There is something wrong with you if you don't find these funny.
I did the Countdown based on online research and ratings to
I never found..last of the summer wine funny...( I was too young ) .but, Are you being served...,now I wait for the backlash,
Each to there own my friend if you don't like it you don't like it
@AdjisOutAndAbout true, last of the summer wine, it was the same jokes over and over, yet millions watch it, are you being served..like I said I was young..never understood the jokes..
راااااائع اخى الكريم أحسنت النشر فديو جميل جدا
Thank you
I mainly agree with your selection of the worst sitcoms ever although I have to admit I quite like Sorry and Mrs Brown's Boys. A few of these sitcoms I've never even heard of.
Atleast this Countdown has opened up a wider audience to crap sitcom lol
I agree with all your choices!
Thank you
I agreed with all of these up until As Time Goes By. It's one of my favourite tv shows ever but I understand anyone not liking it. Its target audience is probably mostly retired older people and it's not for everyone it's always described as gentle comedy so that definition rules out a whole mass of people right there. Jefrey Palmer and Judy Dench make it one of the best sitcoms ever in my opinion.
Thanks for your input .. when.i was a young nipper was never in the cool bracket so was avoided but by its reviews Could be worth going back and rewatching
AdFab was hilarious. One of the best sitcoms ever
That's a bold statement that lol
My Family was terrible. The only likeable character was the son. It was the Terry and June of the modern era. Vicious was just nasty and cruel. O quite liked as Time Goes By. Judi Dench was good in it. Oh my god, French and Fresh Fields were awful cliched crap and a real waste of both stars. I remember liking Babes in the Wood. You never hear about Karl Howman now. Ab Fab was ok in small doses. I preferred those shows Jennifer Saunders did with French and Saunders where they sent up Hollywood films and tv shows.😂
I have to say you have missed out the worst one, an absolute travesty of a show, the nightmare that was Up The Elephant and Round the Castle.
You know I wanted to put it in but I remembered a little to late .. but ye that was really crap
Thank you for your comment though :)
I have to disagree with one or two of the choices picked in this list. So I think maybe the title of this piece should of been prefixed with the word "My." Enjoyed being reminded of the old shows.
Thank you glad it brought you atleast a little nostalgia
My fave was achtung mr milk man only did one series
Never heard of that one
sorry disagree with SORRY brilliant comedy
I struggled to remember it very well after looking online I found alot of people had slated it ... the feeling of the public I'm afraid
Okay, a few, like Slinger's Day, Sorry and Don't Drink The Water are fair game, but Ab Fab and My Family? Seriously? Tell me, are you a failed writer or a failed actor? That is all that critics ever are.
I could be both
@@AdjisOutAndAbout I am sure you probably are.
I enjoyed My Family, All About Me, and My Hero. Though I do believe My Family reduced in quality after Nick left, and My Hero shouldn't have subbed Ardal O' Hanlon.
Citizen Khan should be much higher on the list. It's humour is outdated and characters unrelatable.
I am surprised Mad About Alice starring Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden didn't make it on the list.
I did think about that ..I don't remember it personally but while I was doing my research the name mad about Alice kept coming up
I had a hunch ' all about me' would appear on the list
Dreadful .. I was like 16 or 17 when that was on .. I've never forgotten it
My Family has no likeable characters apart from Nick the others are just sarcastic, narcissistic or even thick like Abi and Roger.
I agree that's why there in ..
It was bland bullcrap
Nick's new job as a sperm donor
Ben knocks on bathroom door
Nick: GO AWAY.......I'M WORKING
Agree that's another one I didn't like
@@dorkbrandon4422 ye he was good I remember the other son being a complete woodentop
@@AdjisOutAndAbout
Who Harry Potter 2.0
Sorry & odd man out should not be there other than that I ageee
Thanks for your comment. Glad I got most right
@@AdjisOutAndAboutab fab was alright but only cos of June Whitfield & Christopher Ryan. But not the best. Sorry & Odd Man Out were decent sitcoms. Odd man out imo are very underrated. I like all the David Croft sitcoms personally. With AYBS as my favourite
Ab Fab lasted 20 years! That says something and most of it was really funny. Ok Curry & Chips was naff but it had a great UK comedy cast including Spike Milligan so why it's at No.2 is just plain bizarre. If we want a real stinker for the list, what the hell happened to 'Queenies Castle'? Dismal viewing beyond compare
Never saw queen's castle but it was mentioned to me. Curry and Chips wasn't brilliant was it .. it was at its time featuring 2 races that people loved to take the pee out of the Irish n the Pakistanis but in my own mind Curry n chips is better than ab fab lol
Was going to subscribe but you included Sorry! Sorry but no, it was very underrated
To be honest ... It includes my opinions but u also backed up the Countdown from online research and the concensus from alot of people was it wasn't good hence why I added it in
@@AdjisOutAndAbout fair enough. Its all about personal opinions of course.
@garlicgorilla6540 thank you hope you will still subscribe lol
I agree.sorry was classic comedy..TIMOOOTHY!
Sorry’s premise is good for a film but NOT for an ongoing series!
Absolutely Fabulous is probably way over your head.
Who knows
Very good video again I remember a few of them Mrs Browns used to be good but it’s had its day and I remember my hero my partner used to like it but I always thought it was rubbish
Thank you and thanks for watching
I agree, they were all shite
Thank you glad you agree
My family is awesome as time goes by is great love it
Was at the start .. after the son left no
9:29 9:32 9:38 9:50
?
Your forgetting Citizen Khan, Bloody awful, never the twain,
Citizen Khan is in there at 15
This video popped up in my recommendations for some reason. Sorry, I get that it takes a lot of time and effort to compile all the info, but still it feels lazily done. Plot descriptions are very basic, no arguments why this or that show is bad - just saying that it is bad. Yes, it is 100% your opinion, but why not to make it an interesting opinion. Dig dipper into the plot, the characters, provide examples of bad writing, poor jokes or plot holes. Otherwise your video is just not entertaining.
Oh right OK thank you for your feedback
I don't think more information is needed, you just have to watch them
your too young to see all of these
Maybe but I know alot of stuff about alot of stuff lol
@@AdjisOutAndAbout It sems that other people seem that you are wrong. people think that you are insane with Absolutely Fabulous. Its not me that said that,
@bill53uk yea I noticed alot of support for that . I think people like that it was wacky n off the wall but it wasn't for me
My Family bland? Quite the opposite, every scene made me laugh, every episode was amazing, not sure what your talking about. It has the most amazing vibe, probably my favourite sitcom
I do hope there is some sarcasm and irony in there young michael
It's my third favourite, with Fawlty Towers at 2 and Not Going Out at 1.
Just goes to show. Comedy is a broad church in this country. There's room for disagreement on them all...except Mrs Brown's Boys, which was absolute sh*te. If you disagree with me, you're either lying, blind or mad.
Yea not great is it
Why was it popular then?
@@Josh-wu7kz So was Hitler.
@@PaulK-ve1pu He was a world leader that people were forced to know. Not really the same is it?
@@Josh-wu7kz I'm beginning to see why you liked Mrs Browns Boys now.
_As time goes by_ , give it another go, it shouldn't be on this list.
All said I'd shuffle your list around but no other major changes.
Thank you I will
Ab Fab should not be on this list IMO, so funny
Thanks for comment .. yes I can see it has a few fans but I'm not one of them lol
Ever decreasing circles made my eyes bleed
Yes another poor Briers effort
I thought that was very funny
@@ruthbashford3176 of course all down to personal preference
@@ruthbashford3176 Me too. I thought Martin Bryce was by far Briers' funniest character.
Richard Briers made another dull sitcom called 'All in Good Faith'.
My Family was a brilliant comedy. I think you need to re-think your choices
I don't remember it that way . Thank you for your comment
Only good with Nick , crap after that
HI DAD.....CAN YOU LEND US A FIVER!
@dorkbrandon4422 exactly what I said if it finished early qhen he left it wouldn't be in the Countdown it's when they brought all these dizzy characters in
This guy is deluded.
My family was really funny.
Absolutely fabulous was iconic.
Don't know about deluded .. I'm a sitcom fan aswell .. it my family had ended after 3 series then yes would have been very good . Thanks for your comment though
It's a matter of opinion, I didn't think either of them were funny
@@ruthbashford3176 and my opinion is that they were funny.
My Family was the best recent sit-com in my humble opinion.
You could be right in fairness if it had finished after 3 series wud have been very good
Absolutely Fabulous???? That show is utter magic are you bonkers??
I must be ..it never did anything for me was very annoying
But most are pathetic, some I have never even heard of, so must be atrocious.
They really are
And you're a total @rse for putting AbFab. It should be on the top list.
Yes it wasn't a good one
