Funniest TV Shows Ever

[amnesia]

The first 3 series of Red Dwarf was ace.

Still find Alan Partridge hilarious too.

 

[potsy]

One foot in the grave.
Phoenix nights.
Only fools and horses.
Fawlty towers.
My wife and kids(cheesy american series)

 

[upsidedown]

I thought Getting On was brilliant for the few episodes that they gave it.

 

[accountantpete]

The Simpsons x-mas one where Skinner asks the school hamster Nibbles to chew through his ball sack...

 

[Arthur]

Green Wing, simply marvellous.

 

[gbb]

Green Wing, was that the hospital one...if so, brilliant. Loved it.
The Young Ones, side splitting.

 

[Samjacksons]

Gotta be Scrubs!

Closely followed by Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Monty Python's Flying Circus
Fawlty Towers

... then there was a long a yawning gulf of unfunny sitcoms, terrible 'family' game shows and crap stand-up punctated only briefly by The Young Ones, before the rebirth of the painfully funny (which is how it should be for me)...

Father Ted
The Day Today
Brass Eye
Black Books
Peep Show
etc.

...but now we seem to be slipping back into the dark ages of smug stand-ups and bad game-shows.

 

[zizou]

All of the classics i would have mentioned have already been mentioned but of currently running shows i really like Peep Show, South Park and the Inbetweeners.

 

[mikeitup]

Father Ted.

Work of genius.

ARSE!!!!!!! DRINK!!!!!!!

"How on earth did you become a priest, Dougal? Did you seen an advert on the back of a cornflakes packet, signed and sent it in?"

Dougal: "Yes."

(To paraphrase)

+1

also

Hancock's Half Hour and Hancock.

Not Going Out (series 1) Underrated IMO

Spaced

and my all time fav:

Sgt Bilko (Phil Silvers)

 

[Globalti]

Saw an old Morecambe and Wise Christmas show last night, which made me laugh (and I don't laugh easily nowadays) and reminded me how funny they were. My son aged 10 has been giggling all day at Eric Morcambe's quip, on hearing a fire engine racing past with siren blaring: "He won't sell much ice cream going at that speed!"

 

[dellzeqq]

Morecambe and Wise
