Best Ever Comedy?

Mighty boosh is terrible!!!

 

I would punch Noel Fielding if I ever saw him in real life, don't care about the consequences

 

So much cheap, laugh-a-minute dross being suggested here. Not keen on some of the older stuff either, I guess comedy's moved in a more edgy direction so they have less effect these days.

Anyway Peep Show's my favourite (how is that not on the poll yet?!), closely followed by the Thick of It and Extras. US Office and Arrested Development are also really good, definitely the best I've seen from over the Atlantic.

 

Good scene from Arrested Dev

 

I liked Father Ted but I love Mighty Boosh. Father Ted was good but would get nowhere near a best of list for me. The Boosh is just very very funny. Maybe it's just me.

Quite like Everybody Loves Raymond as well. And Frasier.

Agree that The Office is not very good. Over-rated doesn't even begin to describe it.

 

I would say the opposite is true. I would agree that there are more 'celebral' comedies now though.

 

Oh, I forgot, I used to like Brush Strokes as well. For a safe mainstream comedy it was very good.

 

The Big Bang Theory?

 

It's got great endurance as well, I can't think of any other series that's lasted for seven seasons and still manages to be as good - if not funnier - than the first episodes.

And what a character Johnson is

 

Anybody who thinks Morcambe and Wise were not funny is dead from the neck up.
There is no debate to be had on this subject. You have no sense of humour.

 

I've just realised something...
Where the **** is Monty Python!!!???

 

Eric Morcambe was funny but the show was always spoilt by stupid guest stars and dance routines. Mind you, they weren't as bad as the Two Ronnies. They would be in the middle of a sketch and one of them would turn to the camera and go "Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Barbara Dickson" and she'd burst into some ****e song

That and the fact that they were always doing dance routines where they were dressed as women (I'm convinced Ronnie Barker was a closet tranny).

 

Peep Show is very good also the Inbetweeners deserves a mention though not to everyone's taste.

 

Gotta be the L.O.G.I hear papa and daves divorce papers are in the post again.OR ARE THEY?

 

Ripping yarns, specifically Tompkinsons schooldays.

Scored a try at rugby and kept on running for 7 miles before the school leopard caught him.
The icebreaker in metalwork built to full scale.

Absolutely superb.
