I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I love this movie so much

ridiculous rating

For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

now this programme gets a one star and the reason for that one star is because that is the lowest i'm allowed to give. I've grown up with people saying the catchphrases and having a good laugh so i decided to join in one day and watch it. Needless to say i almost cried but not with laughter. How anyone can think these two idiots and the woman with big nostrils funny is beyond me. For anyone overseas or from England who is interested in watching but hasn't seen it yet let me show you what your missing. A guy in a lighthouse is reading a book. He is about to go to last page but is not there. His lighthouse pal has it in his mouth chewing it. He says to him "Gonnae no dae that", the man chewing replies "How", He replies with "Just.Gonnae No" And yes the whole of Scotland roars with laughter which makes me embarrassed to be of this nationality. Don't get me wrong Catherine Tate sucks as well so British comedy truly is dead. Overall this is a really bad show with really bad characters and I'm not going to even waste my time typing about them as i've already told you about one sketch so you can guess for yourselves. And believe me that "Gonnae no dae that" is apparently the funniest thing in Scotland so you can pretty much say Scottish comedy is well and truly six feet under. Maybe Scottish comedy will come back when Ford Kiearan, Greg Hemphill and Karen Dunbar have had their long, painful and horrible deaths. To my American and English friends, those people are the writers of this crap. All i want to say is sorry that i come from the same country as these twats who seem to think neds and juvenile idiots abusing the elderly and workshy people are funny. Maybe if your from Scottish slums and can relate to these people you might find this funny but remember the writers are probably all middle class, rich and laughing at you. All in all un funniest thing ever. Stick to Little Britain.

I love the fact that there's so many comedy critics bemoaning the fact that Scottish comedy is "outdated" and scandalously unfunny. Hmmm, interesting that they're all from places that has produced far worse (After all, England has the dire 'All about me' and 'My Hero' amongst other hideous offerings, whilst the good old USA has given us such tripe as 'Will and Grace'.)As far as Chewin' the Fat goes, its decent, solid comedy that more often or not hits the spot straight on. OK, it may not pack the mirth ratio of the Fast Show, but when it stumbles it doesn't do so as pathetically ("Hi! I'm Ed Winchester." anybody?). I think the problem is that, unless you've actually spent any time in Scotland and realised that's exactly what its like, you just won't get it. You're not clued into the language, slang or the general ambiance of the country, so you've got nothing to base the series on and just slag it for being what you perceive to be "unfunny". I hate to tell you, but theres more than a million Scots that would probably disagree and hail both Chewin the Fat and Still Game as the best comedy shows to come out of the country since Naked Video. And why? Because believe it or not, both are actually very, very funny if you know what you're meant to be laughing at. (perhaps its a little unfair, but the Scots don't tend to make it very easy for outsiders to get in on the joke. Maybe its all those years of wearing woad on their faces and yelling "Freedom!", eh?) Rab C Nesbitt was similarly criticised when it made the trasition to mainsteam UK screens - primarily because southernised Englanders couldn't understand the Glaswegian dialect and missed the humour. And to suggest that Scotland hasn't had any decent comedians to come out of it....Billy Connolly anyone? Ronnie Corbett? Phil Kay, Fred McCauley or Rhona Cameron? This little country isn't quite as stagnant as you think - you just need to open your eyes a little and try to understand the humour a little better.

The BBC must have been drunk when they approved this show. 20 years ago people might of found it funny and I suppose some 8 year olds today probably do. These guys should stick to Christmas panto. The "humour is seriously dated. Long sketches that end with the weakest punchlines since sooty threw a cream pie at sweep are given ridiculous canned laughter. I was initially looking forward to this programme as I had heard it compared to the great Scottish sketch show "naked video". a comment I find insulting to the naked video team.

Chewin the fat is brilliant!! An so is still game!! A can imagine it must b hard for ppl tht r no from scotland to understand the accent! A cannie wait for them both 2 come bak on! Coz they r so funny! Did ne one c the episode were the ned's dog jump over the edge of the flat?
