"The Goon Show" when I first heard it - but I hear it now and I am baffled. Why did we think it was hilarious. Humour is very hard to analyse.

watched a load of old Morecambe and Wise shows the other night, they are the real comic genuises of our time, them and then Vic n Bob :)

I LOVE Morecambe & Wise. The Andre Previn sketch is possibly my all time favourite funny bit.

Also Yes Minister, Blackadder, Phoenix Nights. On radio, Cabin Pressure and I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue.


"The world's funniest people are the British. In addition to humour, they have wit." :thumbsup:

Blackadder (as per Meow) - probably my all time favourite.

Spaced, Fawlty Towers, Thick Of It, The Day Today (Chris Morris is a genius)

Blackadder - love it
Fawlty Towers - love it.

Given the above, I don't get why I dislike Only Fools and Horses so very much.

In no particular order, as below

- Blackadder 2, 3 and 4 only
- "Flowery Twats"
- Brass Eye


Broadening in out, film wise my all time fave brit com would have to be "the Ladykillers", the original not the remake.

And anything with Terry Thomas - "hard cheese old boy!"

Loved the radio shows,
Round the Horne
Navy Lark.

All M&W shows are just so funny as well.
