I first came across "Two Pints" while channel hopping, and had to buy the dvd's. The humour suits a massive range of ages. I got addicted as did my husband, my 3 children (aged from 20 - 28), and my 78 year old mother. Like all good sit-coms it's the kind of comedy you can watch over and over and still laugh as much. British comedy at it's best.

If only I could express how unbelivably hilarious this comedy is!Last few years on my trips to the UK, while late nights on the piss, I came across this sitcom! God I died of laughter! I demand this to be broadcast over here!!!!!!!!!
Muah!

This brand of comedy is clearly not aimed at everyone. Northern humour tends to be the order here, and it works much in the same vein as other titles such as The Royle Family. A lot of the people who criticize this as 'playground' humour and as having a cheap script and bad actors clearly miss the point. No, the writing is not as intelligent and in depth as 'The Office' (which i also enjoy) but it isnt meant to be...

One of the key factors in making a good sitcom series is creating believeable and lovable characters. Two pints fits the bill. Any northern lad can relate to characters such as Johnny and Gaz where life basically revolves around beer. I imagine females can also spot some striking similarites in their characters to those of Janet and Donna (maybe not Louise!) The jokes, although childish, can still bring a smile to the face more so because of how funny they are to the characters, not necessarily to you. The acting is not Oscar winning, but i doubt very much that the show would work if it were (I actually think Will Mellor is a great actor.) Simplicity is not always a bad thing.

If you enjoy The Royle family, (which Ralf Little also stars in but as a character with a completely different personna) you should give this a try. In my view, series 3 and 4 are much better than 1 and 2 with more memorable episodes. If you are a pretentious would-be TV critic who is only prepared to enjoy challenging and groundbreaking comedy then this will not be your cup of tea.

" Im not havin some old perv runnin after ya impressin ya with brunch. And yes i do know what it means and you wouldnt catch me wearin one college boy!"

I am sorry to deliver such a negative review of this set but I found all 19 episodes repetitive and boring. The series relies too much on cheap jokes, torrents of swear words and continueous sexual references that are a) mot funny b) stupid c) been done to death before. The characters, although there storylines progress, are simple, boring and one dimensional. Other people have said that this series if frigtheningly true to life, but how many people do you know who have spent scratch fard winnings on a bouncy castle and a strange Bungle bear? How many friends have you got who'd tamper with your criminal records and get you shot for producing a Crunchie? Dull obvious comedy, with a loud annoying laughter track and no depth at all. If you like comedy then try The Office, Phoenix Nights, Black Books, Coupling, Frasier or Spaced. Now they are clever, witty and actually funny. Give this a miss.

I thought after the ending to the fourth series that they were gone, I was shocked to discover when channel hoping that they are back.

The characters are fantastic, for me, it is a British surrogate Friends, we don't produce many decent sitcoms in this country and this is one of very few great ones.

Louise is loopier than ever and the tangled lives of Janet and Johnny are hilarious. The characters are all fantastic and the casting is 100% spot on!

You will be left on the edge of your seats at the end, that is all I can say.
