I love the Malones, specially Tom Senior, the faces he pulls crack me up. And love Dave the rottie. It always amazes me the cakes stay on the table with the dogs in there. Also like Stephen and his husband Daniel. Stephen always up for a laugh. Not keen on Giles or Mary, he would drive me crazy,

I love this programme and look forward to it every Friday night.
They’re all good in their different ways which is why it’s such a popular show and makes it hard for me to pick a favourite though if pushed, it would probably be Giles and Mary.

My absolute favourites are the Siddiquis (spelling?) quietly funny and very witty, love them. Don't mind Mary and Giles though how she hasn't strangled him I don't know.
Like Mary and Marina. Lee and Jenny are ok and I like the Welsh couple.
Can't bear the brother and sister from Blackpool wish they'd disappear.
My overall gripe is that almost everybody has gone overboard in their reactions as time goes on. Who really screams and jumps into the air while watching tv? I'm sure the producers have told them to do that but it's just very annoying.
Thank goodness some have resisted.
Oh almost forgot, I like the black family with the dreadlocks too, and the three chaps with names beginning with T.
But please get rid of that brother and sister.

I like them all . Especially when it's Celebrities - Giles Brandreth and Sheila Hancock .

sarahellenwhitney Fri 10-Apr-20 10:37:39

The Saddiques,excuse my spelling, Giles and Mary,Marina and Mary who unlike many other participants in this programme do not find a need for foul language in expressing their opinions .

Dave and Shirley
Jenny and Lee
Giles and Mary
The Siddiquis

I love them all! Best thing on tv. Really look forward to having good laugh on Friday night. A good ending to the week. ?

Tremaine, Twain and Tristan Plummer ❤️❤️❤️

I think Jenny and Lee are wonderful, they have such a laugh together, I would love to meet them. I cannot stand that loud show off silly young man with the Michaels, he always makes feel uncomfortable. Also I can't abide the two lots of sisters, they are annoying as is Giles and Mary,what a weird relationship they have! Love David and Shirley, Mary and Marina, also typical Manchester family, the Malones. But love the fact that they give us a laugh during these difficult times.

I think I must be a bit weird. I love Giles and Mary but find Stephen a complete moron and his partners false laughing drives me up the wall.

NotSpaghetti Fri 10-Apr-20 10:19:50

I watch Gogglebox if I notice it's on as it's always genuinely funny whatever else is going on in the world. It's a snapshot of "happy family" life - even if there's squabbling.

Giles and Mary are an odd couple and definitely make me laugh.

The Siddiqiuis are just really genuine straightforward and lively - as well as sharp and well informed so I like them for their wit.

Jenny and Lee are obviously great friends and have that ease with each other which allows them to say really ridiculous things. I think they are great.

Aepgirl Fri 10-Apr-20 10:18:10

Definitely Jenny and Lee, and the Siddiques. My least favourites, and most irritating, are the brother and sister - can’t even recall their names.

I think Giles and Mary are just an odd couple, and they make me laugh.

Rosebank16 Fri 10-Apr-20 10:17:26

I love Jenny & Lee, especially when Lee mistook her face mask in the fridge for an avacado dip ? My husband likes the two Asian girls, particularly the one usually sitting on the left (I don't know her name, but she comes out with some 'corkers')

TrendyNannie6 Fri 10-Apr-20 10:01:12

The woman that really shrieks

TrendyNannie6 Fri 10-Apr-20 10:00:03

How could I forget Jennie and Lee yes they are very funny, especially lee when he raises his eyebrow, has me in fits of giggles, the one I don’t really like is that really woman that really shrieks her husband is Pete, thank goodness we don’t see her much her voice goes through me

I do enjoy Gogglebox. So many of them make me laugh, the funniest and rudest is Stephen and Pat (that's his mother) although now Stephen is on with his husband Daniel and Stephen is just as funny.
Malones with the big rotties jumping up at everyone.
The Michaels they seem a bit more upmarket but fun.
Mary and Marina.
Tremaine Twaine and Tristan.
Giles and Mary (I love it when he calls her Nutty) such an odd couple.
My old favourites were Stephanie and Dominic such fun.

Daisymae Thu 09-Apr-20 15:11:40

I am a newcomer to Gogglebox, but I have to say that it's really funny. Equally some of the more serious comments are spot on. Some of them mind you.

CassieJ Thu 09-Apr-20 15:03:25

The Saddiquis - I think that they are great and intelligent
Jenny and Lee
Mary and Marina

Really don't like Giles and Mary. Get rid of him and she wouldn't be too bad on her own
The brother and sister - I am not sure why they are still there, they are just awful

Mapleleaf Thu 09-Apr-20 14:24:03

I like most of them to be honest, but in particular Jenny and Lee and the Saddiques. I also love the facial expressions of Mr Malone senior. Not so keen on the young shouty man who lives with his parents, he gets a bit hysterical at times.

Pittcity Wed 08-Apr-20 21:58:03

Mary and Marina are my faves.

Willow500 Wed 08-Apr-20 21:49:49

Yes Jenny & Lee for us too. My SIL says I remind her of Mary shock We're always amused by all the cakes in the middle with Dave the dog - no one ever seems to eat them grin

Jane10 Wed 08-Apr-20 21:43:41

That brother and sister aren't in the least interesting or amusing.

MissAdventure Wed 08-Apr-20 18:58:17

Everyone likes them.

They seem such gentle souls, and they have such great senses of humour. smile

Nortsat Wed 08-Apr-20 18:52:58

We think the brother and sister duo are v funny.

We like the Malones and their huge dogs. However, I worry about the plate of cakes or biscuits on the footstool, because everyone seems to have their feet (in shoes or trainers) one inch away from the eats.

We like the Siddiques too, especially dad ...

BlueBelle Tue 07-Apr-20 22:32:23

Jenny and Lee love them and love their humour
Siddique family they seem to fit together so nicely
I don’t actually like Mary and Giles that.much but I do find him extremely comical
Can’t stand those big slobbering dogs all around the biscuits /cakes yuk
I don’t enjoy Stephen since he’s with simpering Daniel
The brother and sister are cringy

Jane10 Tue 07-Apr-20 22:06:16

Jenny and Lee have so much fun together. He must have moved in with her as both appearing from lock down
I also enjoy Giles and Mary. What an odd couple.
