Watch the lads behind Bilko trying to not bust their ass laughing. Silvers ad-libbing was always brilliant and this is no different. Classic!Quote:

Rising damp must be in there although it is ITV which is a barren wasteland for comedies - actually ITV is an barren wasteland for anything remotely funny/interesting
I can't stand that show at all. I have a big problem with Mithcell & Webb. Their sketchshow on Channel 4 was absolutely terrible.Quote:

If you are allowing cartoons i'd have to add South Park. :)
Possibly my favourite tv moment of recent years. The Mommy mommy line never fails to bring a smile. :D
Curb - The Doll

I recently bought every episode of Bilko ever made. It spans 18 discs and you can get them on ebay. Quality stuff.
Anyone else like King of Queens?
Buy, rent, borrow or steal a box set. It's a gem.Quote:

Gustavo I just get a big white square but I'm hoping that's the German with the crisis of confidence sketch. "Are we the baddies?" Pure Quality!

Of course cartoons don't count. Even though the Simpsons is the best TV show ever made, it's not a sitcom.
Of course the Boosh is a sitcom. What do you call being marooned on a desert island and having to make a 'special friend' from a coconut on a stick if not a situation? :D
Meh. It's just another style as far as I'm concerned. You might as well say that Bilko doesn't count because it's in black and white.:)Quote:

Good point, well made. :DQuote:

Saw that on the TV and immediately thought of thisQuote:

I'm surprised noone has mentioned The Honeymooners and I Love Lucy. The originals and the best.
Men behaving badly
curb your enthusiasm
league of gentlemen

only fools and horses - only one that can bring a tear to your eye
fawlty towers
blackadder

Very few recent ones. Curb and Arrested definitely the best american ones, with some Cheers. Am I the first to ref League of Gentlemen?
He's Ben Stiller's da or something isn't he?Quote:
