After Work Reactions

I do skit shows mostly on YT because they don't have a direct storyline. I don't put skit shows on the poll anymore so I can make it through the other shows people want me to watch and keep individual skits on YT,

Jade Nepia

why no skit shows?

Contex - It's Just A Ride

Come fly with me, Derek, After Life, Spaced, Knowing me knowing you, Porridge. All shows I'm sure you'd enjoy.

Ethan furness

Everyone’s*

Come fly with me voted for 💯 i know it’s not everyone cup of tea but being only 6 episodes it should be a nice easy one for Josh

Alexander Bond

I wouldn't get too annoyed if your fav doesn't win. They're all going to get a showing eventually, we're really just voting for which order we watch them in. I'll admit I am getting impatient waiting to see Josh react to League of Gentlemen. That's a show worth seeing a reaction to. I think a lot of these other shows, you may like them, but they don't make for good reaction videos.

Alexander Bond

Yeah, people forget that a poverty-stricken family in a council estate in England is not that far removed from a poverty-stricken family living in project housing on welfare in the US. Like The Office, it translates to any culture.

Katie Woodward

Not quite. Gavin & Stacey seem to be leading the way at the moment.

Richard M

Come Fly With Me leading the way........thats pretty depressing lol

The Welsh Bigfoot Organisation

It's looking like I'll have to start skipping Mondays, but I can't complain. Most of the shows so far are ones I love, so it was just a matter of time before ones I hate made it through. I'm pretty shocked Come Fly With Me is so popular though. Will it even be available to Josh?Wasn't it pulled from uk streaming services for the use of black face?

Shaun Lavin

Some of these shows getting voted for are far away from being funny.

Hi Josh. Not sure what’s happened here with the polls? When I have cast my vote for Come Fly With Me, and then go onto the results page, it is saying it that Come Fly With Me has approx 340 votes. However, when I go to the results page via the seperate link it only has 260 something and it didn’t seem to count my vote, the poll was still open when I have voted. Not sure what’s happened here bud? I’d understand if there was a glitch with 1 or 2 votes but how can 80 votes disappear? EDIT: Also the numbers I am saying are from the time I have viewed the results, possible they could have changed of course.

Claire Prowse

I know ... right!! Its all gone really mainstream...Gavin and Stacey?? Sigh.. Oh well ....

Dean

So glad to see Early Doors is at least mentioned. It will never win and I think a lot of the humour will be lost in translation like with Phoenix Nights, but it is a uniquely British gem that never got the credit it deserved. I do think Josh needs to be exposed to the absolute menace of Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It. Though Veep is based upon it, it doesn't even come close to the subtlety and nuanced political satire of the original. I think there's a good chance Josh will like The Thin Blue Line. It has a healthy mix of the goofy, bizarre and instructive social commentary. I would love to see him watch Porridge. Its choice of setting was the first of its kind, written masterfully - again with the right balance of outrageous humour and touching sentiment. It is inevitable that Gavin and Stacey will be reviewed. Put me firmly in the against category. I couldn't crack a smile once. I do hope Josh revisits That Peter Kay Thing. The variety it offers should guarantee some raucous laughs. It's a shame Inside No. 9 doesn't qualify this time. Whilst not every episode is structured as a comedy, when it is, my goodness it is hilarious. In my mind, it is the cleverest and sharpest (comedy) show on British TV at the minute. How on earth To the Manor Born ended up on here is beyond me. There is no way on earth it could work!!

Kieran B

The poll’s still open, click on the image, the results so far are just included as a separate link

How is it we only get 2 days to vote? I do not tune in every day because Im not interested in all shows. I always seem to check in after the poll is closed. Two days?!? May I suggest the poll stay open for at least a week, since you're working to a weekly schedule?

Danny

Seriously? Come Fly With Me, Royale Family and Gavin and Stacey running away with it geez. The people voting now are WAY different to the ones voting originally. Shows like those barely got a sniff

David Harman

I quite liked G & S but it's not laugh out loud funny, quite an easy watch but I wouldn't re watch it. Regarding the Royal Family - I listen to the Sopranos podcast and Michael Imperioli who is an american actor raves about how good it is. He's mentioned to his audience to try and see it. I didn't expect it to translate at all to an american so maybe Josh might be good with it.

Alex P

I don't think Darkplace would work well in clip form.

I think Gavin and Stacey is more like an American sitcom than a British one but at the same time he has expressed that he doesn't like over the top romantic stuff and it really is soppy at times with the episodes I have watched anyway, that was the turn off for me as well with it.

Austin Stratton

I would say that Royale Family is better than G and S comedy wise but the fact that Josh is an American may suit G and S better.. I just don't think he will like The Royale Family

Mick Mills

Will be interesting to see which one wins. People have some very different tastes when it comes to comedy, I like about 50% of the list.

Mick Mills

Yeah, Gavin and Stacey is not too bad. I didn't vote for it but I would watch it again.

BigChanChan

Agreed, from series 2, Men Behaving Badly is absolutely sublime. In my top 5 of all time for definite.

Craig Collis

Gavin and Stacey is Iconic, I don’t understand why people are giving it such bad reviews. Classic British TV

Kieran B

Exactly, I think Come Fly With Me is pretty dire but fair play to the people that voted for it if it wins, they get to enjoy their show for a bit. It's not like other shows aren't going to get watched in the future

Sam Ringland

Really surprised mother’s do av em is not higher tbh also why are people voting gavin and Stacy? I’m not sure that’s a thing he would enjoy reacting to, could be wrong tho

Ashley

I thought the same. 😂

Adam C Turek

This comments section reminds me of why Brexit happened - There's such a wide range of British comedies that as we go through them over time by elimination we're gonna get more territorial. That being said, i never understood the popularity of Gavin and Stacy either... and if we're not going to get Darkplace perhaps he should react to clips of it instead on the youtubes?

After Work Reactions

I will keep that in mind bud!

After Work Reactions

I did one a little while ago, I took the top voted in movies as to what I would watch for a few weeks. I will have another one once I get through those =]

C Dread

Why on Earth would somebody suggest Dinnerladies!?

After Work Reactions

I don't believe so...I will keep it in mind though bud for the next poll =]

ArtVandalHey!

Gavin and Stacey and Royle Family? Wtf. Where are these people??

Keith Pratt

I voted for Porridge.

Luke

Damn, the Porridge crowd nearly had their masterpiece. Can't be long now before it wins.

Christopher Horner

While it's not my favourite I agree that it's not that bad. However I do get why some people don't like it. James Corden can be annoying.

Alex P

Gavin and Stacey is actually quite good. I don't get why people keep shitting on it.

Daniel

Gavin & Stacey. Really!?

Aaron Knight

Really looking forward to when royal family gets a slot

Kelley McDonald

Is there a movie poll we can do?

Joe Jerome

I think I mentioned it on another thread - but I think Wallace & Gromit short films would make a great addition to the poll. It might seem like a kid's show at first, but it's huge over here. Very wacky and full of laughs and pop culture parodies adults will appreciate, and there are only four short films and one feature length - would love to hear what others think of this idea!

Mike Tocci

I agree with the first half. It does stink, but no one is forcing anyone to watch it so I'm happy just watching all the other shows that I like.

Rob Thompson

You've discredited Black Books, and yet call for Allo Allo to be watched. The absurdity of this boggles the mind.

Looks like that awful show Gavin And Stacey is going to win

Ash Jeffries

Can I suggest Men Behaving Badly for a future poll (it would fit in the over 25 episodes category but thought it worth a mention.)? It's called British Men Behaving Badly in the US I believe. It is very much of its time, but a show that I have rewatched and enjoyed a few times and I do think it's a show you'd enjoy, Josh! The cast, especially from series 2 onwards is great although I have a soft spot for Harry Enfield's Dermot in series 1... he is maligned a little unfairly I think as Neil Morrissey is so brilliant and better suited to sitcom. Enfield is more comfortable with sketch based comedy and when he's got creative control I think. I second Steve King's shout out to Game On too. Both Men Behaving Badly and Game On were 90s flat-share sitcoms, but MBB was more mainstream I think - Game On was a bit edgier, slightly darker, but both shows very entertaining and well written. :-)

Z is for Zed

Is Gavin and Stacy going to win? I don't like that one, better complain in the comments section about how I'm unsubscribing each time a new episode is released...

Andrew

JONATHAN CREEK!!!!

Ben

Not sure how well this would work for the flow of certain shows, but it would work perfectly for Taskmaster! There's really no need for Josh to commit to all 11 seasons when they all stand on their own. He wouldn't even need to start with the first, he can pick any!

Samadhir

Might I make a suggestion: have you considered picking some shows randomly? Like, in each new poll that you put up to pick the next shows, you could pick 2 shows that get the highest vote and a third one decided randomly via a random number generator website. That way some less popular but just as good options might have a chance to get into your viewing schedule as well from time to time.

Michael Harrop

The comments on these polls are always so fun to read 😂

Steve King

I agree, Graham Linehan is very hit and miss for me...I think IT Crowd is genius, Father Ted was good but never got Black Books. Having said that most of my friends found Absolutely Fabulous and Miranda side-splittingly funny whilst I wouldn't even use them to torture someone with

Steve King

Has "Game On" been on the list before? 18 Episodes only and was a big part of my teenage years

Steve King

Would like to see the following on the next Polls when the 26 ep limit is removed.."Time Gentlemen Please" which was a sitcom featuring Al Murray the Pub Landlord who you've reacted to in stand-up form before...it's that character but in a sit-com. Also "Allo Allo" which was the other hilarious World War comedy in the 90s next to Blackadder the 4th

Why does Black Books get so many votes? It's possibly the least funny show I've ever seen.

Faisal Ramzan

Josh what are your thoughts on doing 1 series of a longer running show and then alternate with another show? For example do 1 series and then alternate with another show before going back to series 2 of the first show. Would keep it fresh and something with 3+ seasons takes a really long time to watch.

Christopher Horner

Why isn't the show I prefer not topping the poll? It's not fair that people have different opinions to me. Only I can decide whether Josh will like a particular show or not.

NEXUS

Royal family? Im down to 2 shows now, only fools and peeps show. 😒

TheHigh

Taskmaster needed to be on the poll :( would be PERFECT. 3 shows there was good (imo) , not anything i would watch but hey ho :P haven't heard of the rest lol , just voted for come fly with me ...

Joe Gardiner

Depends, doesn't it? How can you like something you've never experienced? I'm not a massive fan of the Royle Family but it's still a nice easy watch. Bit of a change of pace? Really want to see Dark Place myself so hope we get there at some point :)

Austin Stratton

I feel like people are voting for what they want to watch, not what fits Josh's humour. The Royale Family will bore him to death although it is really good. It's not his thing. The Thick of It even more so. For his sake I really hope we get either Black Books, League Of Gentlemen, Murder In Successville, Man Down, Taskmaster, Mr Bean, Come Fly With Me, Black Books, Inside No 9, Misfits, Plebs, Toast Of London, Afterlife, Derek, Steptoe And Son, Not Going Out or Porridge. We know Josh well enough now to know what he will really enjoy and that's what this is about. Edit: I've split people's opinion slightly, but my point is that it's difficult to see the shows on the list from a foreigners point of view. Most of the votes for things like The Royale Family are well meaning of course, but I think that the references and humour won't translate anywhere near as well as some might think it will. Trust me, I love the show but I don't think Josh will. I could be wrong of course. And I'm not trying to influence the vote in my favour.. This is Josh's channel and I'd hate to sit through weeks of him struggling to understand the references or having to read paragraphs of info before each episode. It's just my opinion, and I agree with some of the opposition to this post. Of course I don't know if Josh will like a certain show without him having seen it, but I've watched him laugh and look confused or bored at enough shows to get a good picture.
