Hey, folks honestly this episode didn't have too many funny moments. This episode didn't seem to have the same tone as the previous 2. While watching this episode I wondered if maybe they were experimenting with the tone of the show. I mean I am only 2 episodes so the show at this point hasn't completely found its footing. Just an observation, not a judgement, I still enjoyed the episode it just felt different. I don't want to put any spoilers so I will leave my review basic. Let me know what you guys think about this episode.

2020-07-16 23:02:00 +0000 UTCThe thing with only fools and horses it's not a pure comedy it is also a drama but definitely giving a chance it's not as laugh out loud funny as other shows but it does have its moments and it is a really good show.

2020-07-12 09:23:13 +0000 UTCI am sure many of the people who love this show would consider this sacralige but Season 6 is where I finally fell in love with Fools. Yuppie Love, and Danger UXD, plus the Jolly Boys outing made me realize this was a masterpiece. In no way am I knocking the early episodes but by skipping around I was able to find the absolute essence of the show and in turn go back and apply it to older episodes I skipped.

2020-07-11 03:18:34 +0000 UTCI agree I have never even heard of the show until you all started recommending it to me, it must not have been pushed over here too much.

2020-07-11 02:52:50 +0000 UTCThanks bro, I agree most shows are just finding their footing in the beginning so it takes a minute to get really good.

2020-07-11 02:51:58 +0000 UTCOnly Fools is a big deal is because it has a catchy, comforting theme tune and was on TV a lot at a time when choice was severely limited. As such, it's familiar to everyone and has become a part of British culture. As a comedy, I don't really rate it.

2020-07-10 20:46:21 +0000 UTCThe first season isn't the strongest but later on it gets really good. The characters are not yet defined properly, it does take some time to settle but once it does I think the comedy will cross the cultural barrier. Josh gets a lot more (accents and references) than I expected as an American. I am biased because I love this show but I think for good reason, this show became a national institution. If you want to see a great episode have a look at a touch of glass from the end of season 2, I don't think you need to have watched episodes before that one as the cast is all the same at that point so I don't think it will spoil anything, please anyone correct me if I am wrong.

2020-07-10 18:59:32 +0000 UTCYeah, only fools is something we are brought up on and has a lot of cultural references of the period and slang. It is very British and hasnt really been aimed outside the UK, some of the funniest moments work well but I think you would be better off with a greatest moments clip./

2020-07-10 17:56:58 +0000 UTCI don't think only fools is for non-British people, it's pure nostalgia...

2020-07-10 17:40:08 +0000 UTCYeah I agree the first season is hot and cold for funny moments, it takes a bit of time getting used to. I'm from the UK and even I sometimes got lost with a few phrases and references. You could always skip to the funniest moments like you did with the Batman scene if the whole episodes aren't your thing. Just another recommendation for your Josh, try 'Fresh Meat'. It is a comedy starring Simon from the Inbetweeners about six university students who live together. It's a really good insight into university life in the UK, lots of funny moments and easy to watch. Hope you're well buddy from your number 1 patron!

2020-07-10 17:21:09 +0000 UTCThe other commenters are right, it took a while for the characters to fully develop but it soon becomes the National Treasure we know and love today. You’ve got some great comedy moments on the way.

2020-07-10 17:18:39 +0000 UTCFirst season has some funny moments in it but it never really took off in the UK, it was on at the wrong time of day and then it go re-placed at a different time slot and became a huge show. Season 2 and 3 is where it really gets its legs going and becomes great pretty much every episode. By the time uncle Albert arrives its an established classic work of tv for British people,hang in there and persist. This episode is one of the worst, think it was written to show Del boy getting scammed and that all really.

2020-07-10 17:13:41 +0000 UTCYeah the first season is real hitand miss, can't wait for next season though. You're in for a treat

2020-07-10 17:04:35 +0000 UTCI wonder if Josh picked up on Del calling anybody he dosent know JOHN 😂😂

2020-07-10 17:03:01 +0000 UTCPersonally never found this episode that great either, still a few laughs, fortunately the other episodes are more in line with the previous 2 episodes.
Michael Ledger
2020-07-10 16:47:54 +0000 UTCThis is probably the worst episode of OFAH going. It’s just very bland and wastes a good half hour. But there’s loads more brilliantly funny episodes to come. It’s called the best sitcom for a reason, but this episode isn’t that reason
Sam Dilks
2020-07-10 16:47:26 +0000 UTCThis show is a perfect example of why you do not cancel programmes after the first season which this nearly was due to viewing figures. As Rich say stick with and we will help translate, it's the greatest British comedy of all time it will make you laugh and it will make you cry and hopefully this time next year we will all be millionaires
Matthew Hough
2020-07-10 16:36:37 +0000 UTCYour summary is basically spot on, the show was really inconsistent in the first series but from series 2 onwards they nailed the format and it was consistently good
Paperduck
2020-07-10 16:35:38 +0000 UTCI appreciate your honesty :) it's not one of the best for me either. But no worries, there's still so many great episodes to come ☺
