View original postThese are my favorites, in no specific order. Feel free to disagree.

I've seen literally none of those, not even heard of the majority. Maybe once one episode of Cheers? I'm not sure. Presumably you haven't heard of several of mine either, seeing how the large majority is British...

Mine (English language) would include, in no particular order and also including comic sketch/game shows:

Blackadder
Fawlty Towers
Absolutely Fabulous
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Yes, Minister / Yes, Prime Minister
A Bit of Fry and Laurie
Coupling
Archer
8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown
Simpsons
Derry Girls

I'm sure I'm forgetting some good ones still, perhaps seeing others' lists will remind me (edit: thank you Greg, can't believe I forgot DG!)


I credited you too since I can't believe I forgot AbFab. I've certainly quoted it and used photos from it enough on Facebook. Your list is definitely much more British than American comedy. Do you find American comedy not as funny/too overt compared to British dry humor?

His stand up was the worst. So unfunny. - 11/01/2024 10:14:57 PM 281 Views
So the show's no good? - 11/01/2024 09:56:06 PM 241 Views

If we're including panel shows, my answers are easier! - 11/01/2024 11:40:48 PM 296 Views
Yeah, the Brits are great at absurd panel shows... but that one is the best of all. - 12/01/2024 08:52:55 AM 258 Views
