All time Best comedy.

[Orfy]

Do yo have a favourite, something you watch all the time?

I think it would have to be Only fools and Horses for me.
Faulty Towers is a close second.

Edit. (I'm talking series/sitcom)

 

[Drunkensatyr]

Shawn Of The Dead has to be my number 1 pick. Where else can you watch a zombie being beaten down to Queen. Caddyshack and Stripes take up a real close 2nd and 3rd.

 

[JustDave]

Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

 

[EdWort]

Time, Gentlemen Please is an absolute hoot! Orf should know this one.

 

[rdwj]

As far as comedy goes, South Park has no equal in my eyes

 

[Drunkensatyr]

Well if you want to get picky about it being a series..... Red Dwarf hands down! Red Green behind it, followed up by Top Gear.

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

Faulty Towers is great! I love that show. I'm also a fan of The Office (UK and US) and Father Ted. I think my truly favorite comedy right now is Trailer Park Boys, though, out of Canada.

Edit: I watch all of these over and over. My wife absolutely hates these shows because I watch them so much.

 

[the_bird]

South Park for domestic comedies, and old-school Simpsons really was pretty awesome. My favorites tended to be the BBC comedies we used to get; the original version of Coupling (SO MUCH better than the American version), League of Gentlemen, stuff like that. Hard to pick one above all others, though.

Followed up by Top Gear.

Is thay a comedy????

Red Dawrf and Time Gentlemen are good.

Guv: You can say what you like about the filthy, stinking, treacherous, German hun. But you have to respect 'em.
Marcel: No! Do not fill my French ear with such words.
[Marcel spits on the floor]
Guv: Yea, you have to respect 'em, you don't have to capitulate quite so often but you have to respect 'em. You see the thing about the Germans is it's all above board, they're perfectly clear about what they're ambition is, it's world domination! By any means possible. They're up to something, but they're telling us about it. Not like you lot, sneaking around, I mean look at the words that the French have given the English, "espionage", "sabotage", "camouflage", "fromage".

... Father Ted...

"I love my... BR-ICK!"
"FED UP WITH BR-ICK!"

My avatar tells of one of my faves. I also like MASH, Frasier, and prolly a few others.

 

[Klainmeister]

I think Topgear could be considered comedy. It's pretty darn funny if you ask me.

Movie wise - Super Troopers and Shaun of the Dead get me every time and as for tv, well, i don't watch tv and haven't for a long long time.

 

[shafferpilot]

Scrubs (SWMBO got me started), My Name is Earl, but my FAVORITE is a little BBC show, Black Books.

My wife got my hooked on Scrubs as well... I feel like less of a man admitting it.

Top Gear is DEFF. a comedy in my book.

Clarkson: "Uh... it's on fire."
Hammond: "What?! It can't be on fire!" (he looks) "It's on fire."
Clarkson: "It's on fire. Just run. Just run."
Clarkson: "The thing is, we've managed to set fire to something that's basically made of water!"
Hammond: "How did you do that? Did you see the owner of the car wash afterwards?"
Clarkson: "He was..."
Hammond: "Cross. Very cross."
May: "He was especially cross when I rang him up and asked if we could have our three pounds fifty back."



James: Don't hit it with a hammer!
Clarkson: Why?
James: ...because that's the tool of a pikey!




[During the news, James suggests the Daihatsu Copen.]
Richard: You would look such a spanner in that!
James: No I wouldn't!
Richard: Yes you would, because you'd be sticking up above up with your big floppy hair like a spaniel. Never, ever, ever, ever buy a car which you are taller than when you’re sitting in it than it is long. You'll look like Noddy with bad hair!

The Young Ones was always a favorite. Too bad they did so few.

I am gonna have to second Red Green, although Black Adder is amazing too. Although Kids In the Hall is funnier than both of them by far.

 

[Alamo_Beer]

King of the Hill is my fav cartoon

I used to watch Brit Comedy on PBS but haven't seen any in years

 

[Ryanh1801]

Caddy Shack.

 

[Whiskey]

Series wise, not necessarily in this order....

Black Adder
Coupling (Original Series, not the bastardized US version)
Spaced <---Probably my favorite, has the guys from Shaun of the dead and Hot Fuzz, pre-movie days.
Office (both US and UK)
Extras
Top Gear, though not exactly a series, is freaking hilarious.

And Scrubs
Interestingly enough most of my favorite series are British.

That's a great list. I haven't seen 30 Rock, butthe rest of those are excellent.

Bird also got me hooked on The IT Crowd - I think this episode is classic

That is an awesome freakin' show. Wife loves it, too, and neither of us is particularly technically inclined. I thought I heard that it was done - like, for good - but I'm not sure.

Cheyco and/or Walker got me hooked on Trailer Park Boys for a while - EXCELLENT for the first couple of series, then it went downhill...

 

[rfidd]

"Family Guy" is the funniest series on TV at this time IMHO. I think South Park is great too, so you know where my head is at.

[Fish]

The Office (UK)
Coupling (UK)
Ab Fab
Strangers With Candy - One of my all time favs
SCRUBS - I think Dr Cox is one of the best sitcom characters in may years.
But Monty Python still holds a spot for being one of the few ones that no matter how many times I see it it's still funny.

Now as far as stand up goes I haven't seen anything funnier than Eddie Izzard.

I made my wife watch the "gay" episode and she loved it. It's amazing to me that shows like that don't continue and yet, Cavemen get's the green light. I'm 100% certain that IT Crowd would KILL in the rathings here in the US if it were put out by a netwok.
