30Little Britain's laughs are as puny as its ambitions.
-
80The easily offended should steer clear, but viewers with an appreciation for outrageous humor are likely to have a good laugh watching Little Britain USA.
-
80You don't like comedy that pushes the boundaries of good taste, you have no business here. But the material is presented with enough comic skill, cultural resonance, and clever mockery to rise above.
-
90It’s all very rude and often tremendously grotesque, but it’s a belly laugh a minute.
-
100Indeed, the only real downside of the program is that they've made only six episodes.
-
40Though there are exceptions and a few bits work, the skits that weren’t funny in one episode don’t become funny when they are repeated, with minor alterations, in the next.
-
50Some of it works, much of it doesn't.
-
30The concept and the characters start to wear thin within an episode or two.
-
30If you think "SpongeBob Squarepants" would be funnier if it added a couple of hookers and a cross-dressing junkie, this is the show for you. Everybody else should take a pass.
-
50If you are a fan of, say, "Little Britain" in Season 3, you will probably like "Little Britain USA." As for the uninitiated, well, I suppose it all comes down to a person's fondness for penis jokes.
-
30While I know the show has avid fans, this version leaves me cold much like the original does.
-
70Little Britain USA isn't precisely the same television show that's been slaying audiences and collecting awards in England and Australia for the past several years, but it's close.
-
70It's not that Americans can't master the outlandish sketch comedy exemplified by Little Britain USA. It's just that, from Monty Python to Borat to Eddie Izzard, the British invariably do it so much better.
-
70The success or failure of Little Britain USA will depend on the prevalence of a particular strain of Anglophilia.
-
60The oldies amount to a reset button in case you’ve never seen the show before, but it’s a toss-up if the umpteenth appearance of these loonies will make die-hards keep laughing. The new gallery of U.S.-born weirdos is slightly unremarkable.
-
75The material's solid, but it won't convince the newbies.
-
The show is vulgar, crude and over the top. The jokes are usually cynical and occasionally cruel. That doesn't make them less funny; it just means you might feel guilty for laughing.
