I've only seen one episode. The one where they do cocaine, but they later find out it's fake. 'We've been up all night playing bloody ping pong for no reason!'

I wish they would stream this show on Roku or Pluto or something.

This show is a guilty pleasure of mine. These two are hilarious.

Being from neither country, I've always thought that watching Absolutely Fabulous and then watching Sex and the City is the quickest way to get solid understanding of the basic differences between UK and US culture.

Ah, I love modern entertainment 'journalism'. It's just a constant stream of articles from 25 year olds talking about how we've all forgotten about a very famous show that came out 25+ years ago.

Still makes me laugh. Patsy on that ski lift with a bottle of wine in her hand.

Pats: Darling, you are a fabulous, wonderful individual.

Eddy: Oh, thank you.

Pats: And remember, I've known you longer than your daughter...

What do you want? A statue?! A big, fat, ugly, armless statue?!

I still repeat this mantra whenever I'm feeling like I'm packing on the pounds: "This is not my fat. This is fat from another lifetime."

I totally missed this show as I was very young when this was peaking. But then I discovered Kath & Kim years later and that filled the ditzy duo hole. The Aussies snapped on that one lol. AbFab better or same vibes?

I used to love the show, until the one christmas special where Edina strikes a toddler in the face. I just couldn't watch that show anymore after that.

God I need to do a rewatch again. These idiots never fail to make me laugh, especially bubble. Patsy and Eddie are gonna go on my future tattoo sleeve

I just like it when Eddie is in hospital and is seemingly hallucinating Lady Penelope at her bedside.

I love this show, my spouse and I quote it pretty often. The episode where Saffy puts on a stage play to portray her childhood trauma and Edina and Patsy end up taking it as a huge compliment is SO good.

I was partially raised on this show so it has always held a special place in my heart. Thankfully my mom is like neither of these women.

Love Ab Fab and Kath & Kim. In that genre gotta check out Gavin & Stacey. The supporting characters are brilliant!

I grew up watching this with my dad. It’s still just as hilarious.

I loved the role reversal. Saffy was the responsible one where her mother and Patsy were the wild ones, living for the next party. This is one of my wife's favorite shows.

Yep both shows follow vain, spoiled, misguided, social climbers who give horrible advice and invite constant ridicule for the abysmal decision making their characters exhibit. One treats these characters as role models, the other does it ironically, treating them like the joke they are.

LOL the most famous line for all Buddhists and meditators.

And it was actually said by the inspiration for Edina Monsoon, publicist Lynne Franks

“One more face lift on this one and she’ll have a beard.”

I aspire to be Patsy.

Sadly, Ab Fab is also responsible for cursing us with the pathetic attempt to recreate an American version, “High Society.” But if you’re not going to commit to well written jokes about drugs and sex then it’s going to be crap.

They have always reminded me of my mother and her best friend when I was growing up. It wasn't fun to live with that but I loved them all the same.

This show really symbolises the 90s. The economy was on fire and the cold war was over.

This show always came on in the afternoons in the summer on comedy central in my childhood. I never got into it, I was too young to "get it". Maybe I should give it another try.

I hate you! Just when my life hit a good patch, along you came, you miserable piece of flesh. You should've ended up in the dust bin! The incinerator was too good for you! You know, when I heard that Eddie was pregnant, I told her to abort! ABORT, ABORT, ABORT! I said "Chuck it down the pan!". I said "Bring me... a knitting needle!"

I was obsessed with AbFab in the late 90s. It would air on Comedy Central daily and watching episodes became a compulsion.

Preaching to the choir sweetie

I think you buried one of the leads regarding this show though understandable since it pertains to the DVD's.

It seems like it's been decades since I watched the DVD outtakes on repeat with tears and snot running down my face, I have never since laughed so hard.

Comedy gems and genius all around.

Season 1-3 was PERFECT. Season 4 was hit and miss. Season 5 was unwatchable.
