Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[RogerOver]

I was expecting the Mary and Tracey Luv scenes to be highly amusing, but so far not really a titter. Perhaps I was expecting too much? I think Coronation Street has lost the ability to be funny.

I would have normally posted this sort of stuff in the Classic Quotes forum, but all these were from the last episode.
Maybe my sense of humour is just too obscure, but this is why I love British humour, as there's just so much hidden away in there:

Cathy: I don’t want Norris complaining he’s found a hairy sultana under his table again.

Mary: People would flock from all corners of the cul de sac to admire my hanging gardens of Babylon.

Audrey: Not everyone’s got the cheekbones for Victoria Beckham, have they? (Funny for me, because or a split second I thought Audrey was going to say Victoria Sandwich.)

Tracy: The last time I looked we didn’t have any Latin customers, so just stick to the English. Comprende?

Alex burns his arm. Freddie: Put his head between his legs.

The dog that swallowed a ping-pong ball. Audrey: The dog was insured for illness, not accidents. Freddie: Huh, an act of dog.

Rita outside the shop talking to the Weatherfield Gazette dummy.

I think there's loadsa humour on-going, maybe not too obvious though?
