@MrLuvlyJubly serious? isn't it a interesting and deep question, theres no dead set answer. it would hardly leave comedy writers career-less. and its pretty easy to find out how Sir Alan became a millionaire.

Why do both of the top-rated comments have obvious spelling mistakes?

[@MrLuvlyJubly]

@olliemad Honestly? Wow! I have not the foggiest how Sugar become wealthy he sells shit and is obnoxious, he's in charge of Amstrad the biggest losers in electrical goods. If we all knew the secret formula to comedy we'd be ALL doing it thus rendering those who ARE good at writing comedy careerless. Not hard to grasp surely?

[@MrLuvlyJubly]

That's possibly the worst question ever. "What's the secret formula behind making a hit British comedy?" Yes they will tell you all exactly how it's done thus rendering Sam & Jesse completely careerless and broke! What next So Sir Alan any chance of telling me how you made those millions? The inside shrewd manouvres.

Racist? The only racist thing is Jez being painted in black face and even they comment saying it's something you can't do.
