Kav Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 TV - Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, Cheers, Frasier, Simpsons... there are plenty more I could name, but these are my favourites! Film - Blazing Saddles, Raising Arizona, Monty Python's Holy Grail/Life of Brian, Naked Gun, Airplane... once again, many more but too many to mention! Geez, thinking about it, there are so many to list, I couldn't say which are my favs out of the lot, but these are the ones that sprang to mind first!
THE ganondorflol Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 I forgot Fawlty Towers! "You started it, you invaded Poland!" Hell yeah, best episode ever. It totally offends every German out their, but itis so funny. He keeps on trying not to mention the war, but always manages to say something related to it. Scrubs is also great, there was a thread about it though, although it was about a different kind of scrubs. Anyone know what it was about???? My Family was great until Nick left. He was so good, and funny. Nobody will ever be like him. BBC have made a sort of modern day My family called 'When you've gone' on Friday nights, and the boy tries to be Nick but he isn't. The programme is absolute crap.
Tellyn Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 "And whatever you do, don't mention the war!"
THE ganondorflol Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 'Would you like a cocktail before the war... sorry! I mean dinner.''
ReZourceman Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 TV = Garth Marenghis Darkplace FTW Movies = My personal favourite is Anchorman. It is exactly my kind of comedy. I was in streams of tears the first time I saw it, and its very re-watchable.
Librarian Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 ohh thats tough.. maybee the starwars Kid coming out of C3po as a hologram on youtube.com.. me and my brother almost died For me it's The Office.. i havent laughed like that in a looong time
Slaggis Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 vicar of dibley ("Mr tumnass!") Desperate housewives is the best i think. Every episode i can't help but burst out in uncontrollable laughter. (This series, not the second or first)

The original or the American wannabe that copied?
Ninty 182 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 MOVIE: Naked Gun 2.5 TV SERIES: Fraiser or One Foot In The Grave
Solidus Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Laurel & Hardy (I really like Abbot and Costello too) The Three Stooges Monty Python (no Fast Show without them) Film wise my favourite is Raising Arizona. Spaceballs isn't bad either.
Roostophe Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Last Monday I watched the first 2 episodes of Black Books on Paramount Comedy, the following Friday, the Black Books boxset came in through the post. Only 2 episodes was enough to get it ordered off Play.com. I love a lot of different comedies: UK: Black Books, Bo' Selecta, Bottom, The Office, Phoenix Nights, The Young Ones, Extras, The Royle Family, Early Doors, The Mighty Boosh, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, The Day Today, Alan Partridge, Peep Show, The Fast Show, Red Dwarf, Only Fools And Horses, Fawlty Towers, Black Adder, Father Ted, Black Adder, The Thin Blue Line, I used to like Little Britain, when it was fresh, but now, it's just been raped by the BBC and it's no longer enjoyable. US: Scrubs, The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Family Guy, South Park. There is also one on E4 called "The War At Home" (starring Michael Rappaport), I watched one episode last night and it was pretty funny. FILMS: Airplane!, Mike Bassett: England Manager, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Team America: World Police, BASEketball, Shaun Of The Dead, The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Naked Gun, Hot Shots, Liar Liar, Ace Ventura, and many more. NOTE TO SELF: Must get Brasseye.
The Bard Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I saw "greatest comedy ever" and presumed that is was about Scrubs. Disappointed.
mcj metroid Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I saw "greatest comedy ever" and presumed that is was about Scrubs. Disappointed. oh come on.Yes scrubs is the best right now but it doesnt compare to faulty or father ted
Ice9 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I'm going to have to say Arrested Development is my favorite, it has a level of running or 'inside jokes' that no other programme comes close to.
The Bard Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 oh come on.Yes scrubs is the best right now but it doesnt compare to faulty or father ted Naaah. Red Dward comes close I suppose, but thats about it. I don't watch much TV, but Scrubs is the best thing I've ever seen.
mcj metroid Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 haha red dwarf truly is awsome.Except the last series i didnt like as much
weeyellowbloke Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I think in terms of comedy series America can't really compare to the UK. I mean in terms of comedies that I have found myself loving. UK has: Black Books, Peep Show, Spaced, I'm Alan Partridge, The Day Today, Fawlty Towers, Still Game, The Fast Show, Harry Enfield and Chums, Yes Minister, Garth Merenghi, Red Dwarf, Father Ted, Blackadder, Chewin' the Fat, Phoenix Nights, The Mighty Boosh. USA has: The Simpsons, South Park, Scrubs, Frasier, Curb Your Enthusiasm, ummm and I guess The Sopranos can be seen has a drama/comedy. Yep, no comparison really.
triforcemario Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Why is it that I'm the only guy here who knows about the brilliant british comedy "The Thin Blue Line"?
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 There is also one on E4 called "The War At Home" (starring Michael Rappaport), I watched one episode last night and it was pretty funny. I've started watching that recently. I like it quite alot. Why is it that I'm the only guy here who knows about the brilliant british comedy "The Thin Blue Line"? You're not, others have mentioned it somewhere. I also love it.

THE ganondorflol Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 Watch ugly betty and you will see how great it is. Unfunny, but these comedy characters actually have depth.
The Constantine Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Catherine Tate! Though the third series was kinda of predictable.
THE ganondorflol Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 Catherine Tate! Though the third series was kinda of predictable. This is a thread for good comedy, not that rubbish.
Fields Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Catherine Tate! Though the third series was kinda of predictable. Character walks on, says catch phrase, everyone laughs. It was funny for a while but she needs to try something a bit different if she does a fourth series. This is a thread for good comedy, not that rubbish. So rubbish you had to quote it in your Xbox Live details.
