im a bloke and I cannot understand how anyone found the Goons funny in the slightest, it was just rubbish.
It was basically the monty python of its time and most modern comedians were influenced by them.  At the time mainstream comedy was limited to the end of the peer kiss me quick style standup mother in law jokes.

I guess it was "of it's time"  kind of humour, but I actually like Monty Python.
So so I but a most of the tv episodes they did had 2 or 3 hilarious sketches and the rest was pretty dire.  But you watched for those special sketches.  Same with the goons really, around the horn was funnier for me but the goons i loved too.  I was a bit of a comedy geek so its before my generation stuff as well.

Good point about Monty Python, there was alot of dross, I guess I only remember the brilliant sketches lol.


Nothing can beat Blackadder tho.

Tony Hancock was on the downhill slide when he gave up - he had fallen out with all the people who made him funny. So the fact that he was a manic depressive who always thought he wasn't funny anymore plus the fact that he really was no longer funny was too much for him.
True.  I don't think he did himself any favours by falling out with Sid James either.
Not because Sid was particularly brilliant but I don't think it helped Hancock with his demons.
