For me it's Blackadder by a long, long way. Fawlty Towers somewhere in second place and then further down in 3rd is probably Peep Show. Never really found many comedy shows all that funny but UK comedy (when done properly) I much prefer to US comedy. Though the early seasons of Frasier and The Simpsons were hilarious.

How could I have forgotten Dad's Army or Allo Allo, I could easily sit and watch those again.

Can anyone remember a comedy called 'The Strangerers', about alien vegetables? I think they only ever made one series but I thought it was hilarious!

Think it must be our age, as no one has mentioned It aint half hot mum or Dick Emery, Benny Hill, Rising Damp, George & Mildred etc... lol
 
WHAT?! NO PEEP SHOW?!?! <--- Ignore lunacy.

I voted Inbetweeners anyways.

Has anybody watched Fresh Meat on channel 4 yet? I find it very relatable. It's hilarious, like an Inbetweeners spin off in that it features Joe Thomas from the show (but as a different character) who has gone to university- kinda clever as that is 'why' the Inbetweeners had to end. Anyways, I saw the first episode before I started my placement out here in France and haven't been able to catch up since!

Can't get away with that Fresh Meat like, its not really funny in my opinion. Jack Whitehall's character is funny but apart from that its a bit dull. Expected better, especially considering Robert Webb is in it. Some tidy birds pop up every now and then tho <ok>
 
:O Fawlty Towers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rising Damp
The rise and fall of Reginald Perrin
One Foot In The Grave
Harry Enfield and Chums
The Two Ronnies
Open All Hours
Allo Allo
Monty Python's stuff
Red Dwarf


There's just far too many! For me though it has to be Fawlty Towers

Edit -

Porridge
Black Adder
Mr Bean
Last Of The Summer Wine (can't stand it, but it was very popualar for a long time)
Are You Being Served (uuuugh)
On The Buses
Carry On...

I'll keep editing as I think of more. That Mrs Brown's Boys is good, but should be watched from the first episode I think because you can see how the style developes.
 
PEEP SHOW!!

I've been watching it, it's a bit hit and miss. I was expecting great things given who wrote it and some of the people in it, it's not quite delivered for me yet though.
 
I absolutely love 'Open All Hours', quite possibly my favourite British comedy of all time. Ronnie Barker was an absolute genius.
