Reeves and Mortimer or Steve Coogan

The best British comedy from the 90s but I cant choose who was the best both had some of the funniest moments on tv, Coogan could just push it for his stand up and his recent Saxdondale.

I would go for Reeves and Mortimer, the weekenders - 'meat festival' slays me every time.. But Coogan is also extremely funny (imo).

Erm. Steve Coogan is the second least funny person ever.

I know you said the 90s but Vic and Bob really went down hill in recent years. It's like their humour well dried up.

I'm not sure who your least funny person is of all time (you knew someone would ask!), but I agree with the general position of Steve Coogan in your funny list. He's about there in mine too

Chubby Brown

Alan Partridge. All that needs to be said.

damnit, I was going to guess Chubby Brown!!

Steve Coogan is a very acquired taste - he specialises in that 'awkward moment' comedy - some find it hilarious, some don't. Reeves and Mortimer are a bit stupid for my liking. Not really keen on slapstick.

If I could only choose between them, I'd say Coogan, but given a proper choice, I'd say Harry Enfield or the Fast Show

I'd go for Lenny Henry but Chubby is down there with the worst.

Reeves and Mortimer get my vote.

Glad someone else remembers The Weekenders, when I grow up, I hope to be as cool as Electric Russell :cool:

Morbid is the League of Gentlemen

I got more laughs out of hearing Steve Coogan is at fault for Owen Wilson's suicide attempt than I got out of Steve Coogan's actual comedy, so Vic and Bob.

steve coogan all the way

You've obviously never seen the original sketch show they did go onto Utube and look for Reeves and Mortimer Masterchef

Vic and Bob all the way, they were legends

They seem to have gone downhill a bit in recent years, Randall and Hopkirk wasn't really all that good to be honest...

Masterdog · 27 Sep 2007 at 13:22

Another vote for Vic and Bob, tho Coogan is funny. Surely Jim Davidson has to be down there with the Chubby Browns of this world?

Gilly · 27 Sep 2007 at 14:07

* > Jim Davidson > Jo Brand > Steve Coogan > Chubby Brown
