If that's the funniest scene, it feels like a lucky escape, it's painful to watch. I am totally of the Carry On films generation (born 1954), and I have always thought they were utter shite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferred Ayresome Park to the Soulless shithole of an identiki stadium they have at the Riverside (Which is exactly the same design as Pride Park iirc) Last time I was at the Riverside it was surround by what can only be described as fields of rubble. I presume they've erected mud huts on this land since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Salad Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Must say I have never heard or seen any of the Carry On films either and looking at some of the above clips not really my cup of tea. My favorite British comedian is Rowan Atkinson by a fair margin. Just his facial expressions and mannerisms can get me rolling Edited August 12, 2021 by Big Salad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I assume he was homeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was without doubt the most important thing on telly when I was a kid. If people think Carry On hasn't aged well they need to watch some other 60's / 70's comedy. It's not exactly PC now but compared to a lot of what was going on at the time it was virtually WOKE. My mum didn't let us kids watch The Young Ones... she used to switch it off. Every. Single. Time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
