British humor can sometimes be so strange and unfunny (like benny hill)... but then again movies like "snatch" and "shawn of the dead" are hilarious. Thats being said, this definitely falls into the "Benny hill" pile of sh!t. Worst british movie I have ever seen, hands down.
No I don't think so Johnny English was far worse.
shareIf you think Benny Hill was sh*t then you need an ass-whooping. Just because americans have issues understanding what isnt blantantly obvious (SNL for instance, biggest pile of overrated tripe ever, but yanks love it!?) doesnt mean that it's not funny.
This may be the worst English comedy ever, but its still better than some of the 'hilarious' movies given to the world by America, like Eurotrip, i mean i've never NOT laughed so much in my entire life, and i liked Dude, Wheres My Car for godsake!!
I'm a brit, and I think benny hill is rubbish.

Benny Hill is superb!! Far better than some of the "comedy" that is on British TV today. Most UK comedy (The Office, Men Behaving Badly) flops in the US coz Americans don't understand irony.
shareIm spanish, so i'm not gonna enter this UK/US who's comedy is best bullsh*t.
I did not know the actors and I never heard about this film before, but c'mon
it might not be the best comedy but it sure is a good laugh.

I hate it when folk say that Yanks don't understand irony.
Curb Your Enthusiasm? Larry Sanders?
"Airborne!"
Try watching 'Carry On Emmanuelle'...Now that's the worst british film ever made...so bad I'm sure I've even spelt it wrong...
I have to take issue with this. Emmanuelle was the worst CARRY ON film ever made, not the worst British film. I never thought I would say this about Emmanuelle, but I think it has the edge over Potato men.
Infamy, Infamy! - They've all got it in for me!
the film cracks me up. and yes, straight up smut CAN be funny
anyway it's not like the american film industry has anything to gloat about when it comes to comedy, is it?
1 Benny Hill was total trash
2 Americans do understand irony
3 This is the worst fil ever !!
4 Do any other Brits think the office is overrated ?
I think it's funny the person that posted this used terrible movies as their example Eurotrip and Dude where's my car are some of the dumbest movies that even alot and I mean ALOT of Americans hated. He doesn't attack Christopher Guest movies or stuff like big lebowski, clerks, or shows like arrested development or chappelle's show...whatever

fools, fools everywhere...
this film is great, and the office (UK version) could not possibly be overrated. The American version was not so good.

i have a lot in common with you Iblesnover your absoloutely right this film is great and the uk version of The Office is awesome wheras the us version is nowhere near as good
