Greatest comedies of all time ............ You are havin' a larf aren't you?
1 and 3 were/are crap especially number 3. Number 2, I have never heard of.
There seem to be a few posters who haven't really seen or watched many comedies to appreciate where their offerings fall in the grand gallery of comedy :roll: .Life is like a roll of toilet paper; long and useful, but always ends at the wrong moment. Anon.
Think how stupid the average person is.......
half of them are even more stupid than you first thought.0 -
Blackadder
Red Dwarf
The Young Ones
Mainly because they're the ones I watch over and over again without getting bored.0 -
Its easy for the more recent comedies to be higher up the list. Will The Inbetweeners, for example, stand the test of time? It is bloody funny though.FCN 3: Raleigh Record Ace fixie-to be resurrected sometime in the future
FCN 4: Planet X Schmaffenschmack 2- workhorse
FCN 9: B Twin Vitamin - winter commuter/loan bike for trainees

To be fair its all opinion
I didnt watch only fools, too young for fawlty towers etc so why should I be having a larf as you put it.
Looking through the thread all you have commented on is laurel and Hardy, I have never seen these but I dont go saying they are crap.
I dont watch much TV so excuse me if I havent watched what im supposed to have. You may aswell go through and slate everyone else choices as they obviously arent funny to you 0 -

You may be too young for Fawlty Towers but if you have time you do want to spend in front of the goggle box track down an episode at least. Should be available from all kinds of sources. It only lasted 12 1/2 hour episodes (out of choice) so buying the whole lot wouldn't be a huge punt either.
Edit:- Episodes are available on youtube and the DVD box set comes in at approx £12 -£15. Have a laugh now....

This has really brought a smile to my face, used to love watching this as a kid. Can't believe we get endless repeats of Dads Army and The Good Life (good as they are) but this hasn't been shown for years. Apparently it was also very popular in germany and france, which given that so much of the comedy was based on the stereotypical accents of the characters I find amazing.0 -
Some real "stormers" in there - and no doubt so many that we've missed.
How can we have got so far without someone mentioning:
Open All Hours
Yes Minister/Prime minister
One foot in the grave
The Royal Family
Boys from the black stuff
Morcambe and Wise (particularly the BBC years)
Ab Fab
Wallace and Grommit - The wrong trousers (I laughed so much I made myself sick!)
(Whatever happened to) The Likely Lads
Drop the dead donkey.

I'll go with:
Alan Partridge (either KMKYWAP or "I'm...")
Phoenix Nights
Peep Show
Seeing as they are the only ones I have bothered to get on DVD.
Honorable mentions for:
Fawlty Towers
Blackadder
Father Ted
The Inbetweeners
Family Guy
The Day Today
The Mary Whitehouse Experience (at the time, when it started, it was the funniest thing ever!)0 -
Haven't seen The Goodies mentioned. There was a semi-tribute to them on R4 the other day, Ross Noble talking to all three of them + various others; catch it on the iMissedThatPlayer.
Have to say that the two things that get my kids helpless with laughter - proper laughing not just a bit of a smile - is The Holy Grail film, and The Goodies DVDs that they watch in the car on long trips. And I loved The Goodies too when arr wurr a lad.0 -

It's been repeated quite recently around Sunday lunchtimes, after The Politics Show, I think. They also repeated Keeping Up Appearances.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)
Pinnacle Monzonite

Ah, must have missed that.
One thing I don't think has been mentioned, which as a parent of young children I find hilarious is Outnumbered.0
