Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike.

Im wondering those of you who do not live in Britain have you seen any of these brilliant English comedies?
(Im pretty sure youve seen Bruno and Borat both brilliant films)
WARNING!: there is both language in violence in all these clips ^_^

Ali g in da house:
One of my most favourite films its just hilairious its the story of wannabe gangster Ali G its the same guy from borat and bruno.
Best parts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foS84bEZSO4&feature=related

Hot Fuzz:
Another brilliant film, you might not get some of it though because its a spoof of the english rural police. There is quite a bit of swearing and gore in this film
Best Parts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rFrs3Qq45U

Shaun of the Dead:
A spoof of all zombie films, it is desrcibed as a Romantic Zombie Comedy its not quite as gory as hot fuzz and doesnt have the language but still hilairious.
Best Parts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEWUjl7Qx6M&feature=related
Other more classic British comedies are Monty Python,Harry and Paul and the IT Crowd :lol: :lol:

Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz have made it here ( I love Shaun of the Dead, haven't seen Hot Fuzz yet).

Never heard of Ali G or any of that. It might be coming over later, was it any good?

However, we mostly seem to get the lamer British humor over here because of BBC. Despite the success of a lot of stuff that come over in other ways, they only give us the more low-brow stuff. I honestly think BBC is prejudice.

I don't even watch them enough to know anymore. I know of Skins and a few other teen-crap like that that may have one or two good jokes but mostly it stuff that makes me think the writers of Family Guy made it, and we already have plenty of those shows, thank you.

It's like going to Fort Knox and only getting the contents of the toilet.

I do to (usually) but we already have Family Guy.

The thing I like about British Humor is that it developed completely different from what we have. You ever watch a new show and for the first few episodes it's hillarious before it get's old? Britain is an entire country of new shows that haven't even had the change to get old! So what do they send us? The stuff just like all the shows we make here!

It's enough to make one feel like Marvin the Android.

The BBC is biased and doesnt like popular comedy really and prefers to screen left wing garbage.

Although you should watch Ali G its so funny, i like MTV though it can be quite funny at just how retarded its presenters are :lol: i love japanese gameshows though more specifically Takeshis Castle :D

Ohh and i love Southpark its so funny!

That's a good way to summarise these films.

Changing the title to British Comedy to be fair. We've got enough problems with the yanks leaving out the Scot, Welsh and Northern Irish* out when they talk about the UK without you backing them up. Show a little pride in your nation, kids these day, I tell you. Half Americanised communists, the lot of them.

I'm rather enjoying That Mitchell and Webb Look, and I'd recommend This Mitchell and Webb Book.
To show a less prominent British comedy, may I present the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre.
Socks TV Golf

Socks TV Racing

Primarkeval

Torchwool

*Also the Cornish, who've got it into their heads that they are not English.
Living Fossils

Fósseis Vibos: Reserva Natural


34 MYH, 4 tonne dinosaur.

No. No, it doesn't. It's the best of the mainstream channels. I mean ITV is just emulating them, Channel Four hosts Big Brother, a crime worthy of shunning, and Five is barely watched
