Comedies That Aren't Funny

[bibblebub]

Is there a word for a tv programme or film that you know is intended to be a comedy but you don't find it the least bit amusing?

All I can come up with is non-serious but I'd prefer a single, non-hyphenated word.

So there would be comedies, dramas and...?

mal-comediations.

Pooo, I like Miranda and find it funny.

I would use the word 'thud' cos it all falls flat

[Psybbo]

Hey, axewoman, go easy x

[Just-Jane]

A joke?

Disaster, I'd say, waste of money - Miranda and Mrs Brown's Boys are in the category for me, I can't crack a smile at either of them.

[tamborine]

inane

[Khandro]

Unamusing.

[piggynose]

totally agree daij, mrs browns boys, not even a giggle from me, and i loved father ted, but this isn't at all funny.

Don't know how Keith Lemon ever got on TV. Can't stand him.

[FredPuli43]

Flat. (I thought a Miranda too, but wasn't feeling brave !)

[wolf63]

Black humour??

[emmie]

unfunny seems appropriate

[DTCwordfan]

So there would be comedies, dramas and...Victorias.

"We are not amused"

[bibblebub]

blimey, this is still going... it's a tough choice between lemons and victorias...

... and I'll plump for lemons because of the existing meaning of the word

thanks all

i saw this funny sign in a shop recently,
if life keeps giving you lemons, make lemonade.,
