Comedy suggestions for youtube

Not having lived in the UK for 13 years I'm a bit out of touch when it comes to comedy shows/performers. I live in Germany where the sense of humour is (he says diplomatically) different to ours. Anyone have any suggestions as to shows and comedians I could watch on youtube? Of course, I'm familiar with "old" shows such as One Foot, Fools and Horses, Black Adder etc and am looking for more current stuff. Here are things I like and have seen:
All the Steve Coogan stuff (from early Alan Partridge to The Trip, Brass Eye, Day Today etc)
Chris Morris, Armando Iannucci
Peep Show
Frankie Boyle and Jimmy Carr
Ricky Gervais (podcasts, series and stand up)
Louis CK and Doug Stanhope (from the US)
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hardly popular mind...
Anyway, my experience is that Germans are hilarious! Just not when it's forced, like, say, on stage.
That's amazing. I won't ask how you stumbled across that.
I understood what you meant (can still do English talking). Just thought that gold was a bit of an exageration :-)
Thanks for that. Just watched a bit of his stand-up vids. And you're right. The Germans do have a very good sense of humour. I just can't get into their comedy as it's not (imo) very comical.
Not alive, not British, ever funny, Bill Hicks.
Lee Mack does some very good stand-up material, and his sitcom Not Going Out is worth watching (skip the first series, though). Bill Bailey is probably the best mainstream comedian at the moment.
+1
I was in the audience for that Bill Hicks show, turned out to be his last stand up show before his tragic and untimely death. With the exception of Richard Pryor the funniest stand up comedian ever!!
"No we didn't!"
"Yes you did, you invaded Chekoslovakia ......."
This one is good Grandad!

How about the new Paul Whitehouse, Charly Higson radio phone in show on Radio 4 6:30pm tuesday evenings. This evening's topic was poetry. The encumbent dj is Simon Dee brother of Jack. It is quite funny.
Think how stupid the average person is.......
half of them are even more stupid than you first thought.
He's an censored .
Out of your list Peep Show stands head shoulders above all else. Maybe you should add Larry David Curb Your Enthusiasm one of Ricky Gervais' heroes.

Also, try newswipe or screenwipe with Charlie Brooker
It's all over youtube and I love it
Then again, it's taking the p!ss out of UK TV so it may not work so well if you don't watch any of it. (Then again, it does give you the chance to lift some pithy and obscene comments about TV programmes so you sound like you know what you're talking about in the pub)

Though make sure you get the UK version, the US version pilot made me want to cry and I dared not carry on watching for fear of putting my monitor through in anger at what they did to such a fine piece of TV. /disgust
Hmm. Sounds interesting. I'll have a look whilst eating my tea.
Thanks everyone. Keep the ideas rolling in to bring a smile to a grumpy old git's face.
the inbetweeners - a bit like teenage version of peep show, very funny
