Massive FAIL.

 

[hillianseagull]

No Fools & Horses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed!

 

[little al]

Not even a Dads Army/Hi de Hi/Ain't half Hot Mum

 

[Brovion]

Other please specify option!!!!

Could have listed 30+ shows but not enough room

Yeah, but how you could even THINK of doing a poll without including Steptoe and Son is beyond me! (Not necessarily my all-time favourite but it's up there)

 

[Willow]

You left Porridge off, you charmless nurk!

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Good choice.

I didn't get where I am today by omitting Reggie Perrin from favourite comedy lists.

 

[burnee54]

It has to be anything by The Marx Brothers... and no I'm not that old, I just think they did it all first.

 

[Scampi]

I have to say I agree with the OFaH overrated gang. It was good, but not that good. Whats great aboput this thread is all the nominations of shows that have got me thinking, yes that was really funny.

My nomination would be Green Wing. Loved that series

" take that, Dealing With Difficult People and f*** off"

Miranda is not there...........just fell off chair

 

[xenophon]

 

[xenophon]

VERY close second

 

[albionalbino]

The Simpsons or Brass Eye.

 

[jakarta]

Monty Python - showing my age!

Seconded, some of it has dated but the Latin Lesson administered by the Centurion to Brian of Nazareth in the Life of Brian is probably my favourite bit of film comedy ever "People called Romanes, they go the house?"

And yes I was forced to do Latin at School.....

 

[Daffy Duck]

Red Dwarf for me.

 

[Durlston]

Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights took a while to get going, the first series was average apart from the fire investigator episode. The second series was brilliant; Manchester humour at its best.

But overall, I would have to say Fawlty Towers for its consistent brilliance.

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

My top 3 right now are
1. Blackadder
2. Reggie Perrin
3. The Young Ones

Edit: Honourable mentions go to Father Ted, The Comic Strip and Chelmsford 123

 

[Leosayer]

Got to be Blackadder but fools and horses, porridge, fawlty towers and Alan partridge would be on the list.

Also been a lot crap stuff too like
Some series that had davina McCall in it , I can't even remember the name. I've always hated hi de hi and last of the summer wine
Anyone remember yus my dear with Arthur mullard?

 

[niknokseagull]

What, no Phoenix Nights?

"What's the matter with me? I'll tell you what's the matter with me. Me first week as a licensee, I'm stood here looking like a gay Satan cos somebody sold all me clothes on t'jumble. I've been rolled round t'car park all day dressed as a hernia and I've got 12 people in casualty with rubber burns".
