DavidP.Oct 5, 20085The firs show was ok. I didn't laugh for quite a lot of the show. The duo should stay in Britain and make fun of us, which is what you are good at.

PeterR.Oct 9, 200810Fabulous show. It really hits the spot when it comes to entertaining.

AndyB.Sep 29, 200810Pushes the boundaries - which is exactly what good comedy should do.

BrianM.Oct 17, 20085This show tries hard to be outrageous and offensive with the thought that those traits are the same thing as being funny. Sadly there are fewer laughs than there are moments that make you cringe. I'm not offended by the show, just not amused. It tries too hard.

KarlJ.Oct 4, 200810Comic Genius, Satirical send ups. Certainly not boring and i could not stop laughing. Some of the reviewers who rated below 7 need to be questioned if they are capable of understanding this. They go for drol, boring, non-risque comedies, middle of the road, the same thing time and again. That's fine, but these guys are clearly comic genius and i'm glad it's come to the USA!

DavidGJul 28, 20092I have enjoyed some of Lucas and Walliams work, but this was utter nasty spiteful comedy of sorts. One or two laughs but generally pathetic, funny if you're a small boy and still think penis and gay jokes are funny but otherwise not worth wasting the time on.

SimonJOct 12, 200810Absolutely hilarious. Some people won't get it or be offended by the content but if thats the case then don't watch it ffs. The only shame is that there are only 6 episodes. Would like to see David, Matt and the team do some more!

IanA.Sep 29, 20083These guys seem to think that being funny is about finding the right balance between wigs and 'dirty words.' Talented performers might accomplish more with this material, but there don't seem any willing to touch it, so it just hangs out there, trying hard but doing nothing, like a teenager's penis.

MattP.Sep 29, 20081Utter drivel. The same few ‘jokes’ repeated, and lowest common denominator catchphrase comedy. One of the worst things HBO has ever put out.

DavidO.Sep 29, 20089It's crude and at times completely off the wall, but at the heart of each character is something or someone we've all seen before, just massively exaggerated. It's this grain of truth that makes it satirical, and brilliant. Loved it!

MarjorieHMar 1, 200910I loved the British version so had low expectations for this but I was surprised to find that it was great--actually more crude in a way than the British version, but really as wonderful and creative.

RichSMay 24, 20090Tedious, wincingly unfunny claptrap. They seem obsessed with the homosexual, fat, and racist variety of human kind. Dysfunctional humour? You got it.

Oct 27, 20104"Little Britain USA" is funny, but not as good as the original UK version. It seems that all the political correctness and censorship needed in the US has done much harm for the brand, and it also seems that if Americans see a good foreign show, they take it and "American-ize" it.
-
Sep 8, 20117I was pleasantly surprised at how actually funny the US translation of the show was. New characters, mostly amusing ones too, and the audiences seemed to find the show enjoyable, instead of there being an awkward transatlantic tension where they don't understand the jokes.

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.

75The material's solid, but it won't convince the newbies.

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.
