Little Britain REALLY sucks

Tried again to watch it. What in the name of all that is funny does anyone see in this crap?
And does it have that most-annoying-laugh-track-on-all-of-TV when it airs in the UK?

The two most common elements in the universe
are hydrogen and stupidity.

Humour is of course entirely subjective, but I have to agree: I don't find it in the least amusing. They seem to work on the assumption that if something is funny once, it will be twenty times as funny if repeated twenty times: a dubious proposition, especially if the funniness of the something is questionable in the first place. The immense popularity of the show continues to amaze me.

Funny? The "Little Britain" I know is a documentary series on British culture. I've found it very informative on the subject of assistance for the disabled, gay village life, how school girls deal with authority figures and Scottish vacation spots.
