-Family Guy
-Are you Being Served
-Keeping up Appearances
(and I really hate to admit this one, as I'll have to turn in my man card...but)
-Reba-The show just cracks me up
 
The Office
South Park
Family Guy
Scrubs (although it jumped the shark last season)
Colbert Report
Daily Show

Haven't gotten in to any new shows yet. Big Shots looks good (because I LOVED Titus).

Oh, the new one with the Milf from Grounded For Life, Spade, and Putty is pretty funny.
 
My picks are not going to be the norm b/c I don't find a lot of stuff on the networks groundbreakingly funny. The Office is the only one I can single out, and it was done (slightly better, IMO) by the Brits first. I like The Simpsons and Family Guy, but cartoons are too easy. So, I'm sticking to live action sitcoms.

Red Green - Harold rocks!
SCTV - the blueprint for sketch comedy shows
Leave It To Beaver - not cutting edge, but still a must-see for me when it is on.
Cheers
Seinfeld
Taxi
The Mary Tyler Moore Show

Particular favorite sitcom episodes of mine:

The Bob Newhart Show (the one in the New England inn) - final episode
Seinfeld - "The Competition"
WKRP In Cincinnati - "Turkey Drop"
The Mary Tyler Moore show - "Chuckles Bites The Dust"
Taxi - "Reverend Jim: A Space Odyssey"
The Dick Van Dyke Show - "It May Look Like A Walnut"
The Honeymooners - "Chef Of The Future"

And finally, one that is before my time even, but worth renting or checking out if you are lucky enough to have a local station running it at 3am:

Sgt. Bilko. This show is the blueprint for every TV sitcom made to this day. Still considered by many, including those who make sitcoms, to be the best sitcom ever made - better than Lucy (I hated Lucy), Seinfeld, Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dyke, etc., etc.
 
Series:
  • +1 for the Office (though I only like the UK version)
  • Simpsons (seasons 7-12)
  • It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Movies:
  • +1 The Office
  • Something About Mary
  • Slapshot
  • Major league
  • Caddyshack
 
I've got a twisted sense of humor so here goes.

Funny movies:
Boondock Saints.
Pulp Fiction (Practically all of Tarantino's movies crack me up)
Any martial arts flick.
Old-school action movies (Rambo, Swarzennegger.....)
UFC Ultimate Knockouts.




Funny shows:
Family Guy
South Park
Last Comic Standing
 
I'm a comedy junkie - REALLY stupid comedy.

Airplane
Office Space
Supertroopers
Grandma's Boy
O Brother Where Art Thou

As for television, South Park and Family Guy are household standards.
 
Trailer Park Boys for me. There's a few of the recent episodes I don't care for, but for the most part, its pretty funny and true to life around here.
 
Red Dwarf
Faulty Towers( I think its awesome so many said this, I grew up watching these)
Only Fools and Horses( I need these on DVD - best seasons early or late Orfy? Its been a while)
Flying Circus( full set on DVD is my pride and joy)

Kids in the Hall
Seinfeld
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Mr.Bean
The State
etc.
