@rancid-schnitzel yea I found Seinfeld hit and miss, never got into Curb your Enthusiasm.
I loved George (who was apparently based on Larry David in real life) and Newman in Seinfeld and that was about it. I guess I just admire the finely chiselled heroic figure.
Jerry was easily the least funny out of all of them and a shit actor. That standup part before and after was generally really shit. But the bit parts were often brilliant. The parents for instance were perfect.

@bones never seen that.
Been a few years but I remember it being fantastic.
An underrated Brit comedy is Green Wing.

oh yeah, I forgot.. Stiller Senior et al, great stuff..

US comedies? Barney Miller. Nothing ever really happened, it was mostly just about the crap coffee. But, I liked it..

Yeah - I seem to recall quite enjoying that. I only have vague memories of it, and couldn't remember the "vibe" - so just looked up some youtube clips... it looks like the entire thing is available on youtube. I might give it a repeat watch - like most Brit stuff, it's fairly short, sharp, sweet.
The League - yeah, that's the fantasy football one? I avoided that for years, due to the name - thinking it was based around actual NFL - which I have zero interest in. But then actually watched it... and fuck, really, really good. Lawyers trading players in their fantasy teams as part of a plea bargain - genuine LOL-snort. -
And to answer the actual Thread Topic...
No.
No, of course I didn't fucking watch it. Christ.
In order to watch it with any context, I'd need to go back and watch the original... and fuck that. I am perfectly content with my only knowledge of fucking Friends being absorption via pop culture references.
Also - I heard that it's terribly racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and all that other nasty stuff.
No. -

I'm the opposite, I can't watch Curb because it's just a whole show about George and my annoyance threshold for George is pretty slim.
The best Seinfeld episodes are truly brilliant but it will be interesting for me how the rest of the episodes are (the ones I don't remember off the top of my head).

Yeah I loved Seinfeld, but CYE never caught my attention.
My favourite comedy out of the US would probably be The League I reckon.
Oh yeah, I really like The League, wouldn't get close to my favourite US comedy though - that's Community.

Jerry’s standup was fucken terrible but he was still a massive part of what made the show good. He did the straight man to everyone else’s kooky weirdness extremely well.

I hear what you’re saying but Larry David made the cringe stuff work much better than George in my opinion. LD was SUCH a dickhead but in a hilarious way.

I can't watch it, it's like an American version of that guy.

At least he packed it round the arms too. Chandler just packed it round the face, moobs and gut and still has noodle arms.

@nostrildamus owned it though.
