Your Top 5 Comedies

[Blackadder]

This is very tough

1 Blackadder
2 Fawlty Towers
3 Fools and Horses
4 The Office
5 Men Behaving Badly


Sadly no room for The Simpsons (I might have this wrong), Harry Enfield, Alan Partridge, Not the Nine O Clock News or MPFC. Which are all excellent.

 

[Marshy]

1.Only Fools And Horses
2.The Office
3.The Simpsons
4.Im Alan Partridge
5.Porridge

These are in NO particular order.
Now that would be impossible.

 

[JEM]

No, he has come up with a working definition of TV comedy.

It's a genre, just like horror or westerns. Surely it needs some boundaries?

No, not really. If people rate The Simpsons as comedy (which a sizable proportion of posters on here do) and it has been voted best comedy ever on a couple of magazine and TV polls, then why shouldn't it be?

 

[Meade's Ball]

I really don't like Fawlty Towers. Shouting. Shouting. Slapping. *yawn*

Brass Eye has to be in there for me.


Oh its too difficult. I'll just hate and love those 2 for now.

I know what you mean lush. 8 years on, I can't think for the life of me who MPFC were?

 

[Bry Nylon]

Monty Python's Flying Circus...?

 

[Lush]

Beautiful plumage, the Norwegian Blue.

 

[Blackadder]

of course! 8 years on and my mind is getting addled!

 

[Norman Potting]

Monty Python's Flying Circus...?

It's either that or the Metropolitan Police Flying Club or the Madhya Pradesh Financial Corporation, neither of which I have ever found particularly amusing.

I would put the case forward for the Good Guys (sadly underrated precursor of reality comedy), Police Squad, Father Ted, Miranda and Shaun the Sheep.
