Favourite English Comedies

[Sister Rose]

I love English comedies, mostly the old classics. Anyone else enjoy brit comedies?


Sometimes you get the re-runs on TV, I love "On The Buses"....

Blackadder, Only Fools And Horses, Fawlty Towers, Bottom, The Young Ones, Dad's Army.

Oh and Peep Show. Easily the best British sitcom in recent years.

[ThisCharmingGirl]

I love them! I grew up watching them! The Young Ones, Some Mothers Do Ave Them, Blackadder and Allo Allo. I watched these four series in my teens. They were broadcasted on the autonomic catalan channel. My favourites were the first two ones.

 

[yesitis]

[Zelda Zonk]

I loved Only Fools & Horses; Hi-De-Hi; The Good Life; Blackadder; Rising Damp.

I couldn't stand Are You Being Served.

 

[Jukebox Jury]

Steptoe & Son, Porridge, Citizen Smith, The Carry On's, Bless This House, On The Buses, Hi De Hi, Rising Damp, Please Sir......

All classic comedies about working class life.....
then the Good Life and To The Manor Born came around and all of a sudden every comedy went middle class.... and far, far less funny and even less relevant.....

Jukebox Jury

 

[Sister Rose]

God there are so many good ones....

Steptoe and Son, Bless This House, Blackadder, The Young Ones, Only Fools And Horses.....

I love the Carry On's!!

 

[Jose]

My favourites are:
-Absolutely Fabulous
-Gimme Gimme Gimme

 

[cherrylipstick]

My fave is definately Little Britain...."Computer says no" - priceless

 

[Mozza220559]

Without a doubt my favourite Brit comedy is The Office,

Other masterful works though; for me include Extras, Peep Show, I'm Alan Partridge, Bottom, The Young Ones, Stella Street, If you've never seen Garth Marenghis Darkplace I strongly advise you to do that, That Peter Kay Thing, and many other 70's classics like Fawlty Towers, Rising Damp, The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin.

How can you look at Brent and not realise it's the best British comedy show?

 

[someofusisturningnasty]

Peep Show, Brass Eye, The Day Today, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Look Around You, Adam & Joe, Vicar of Dibley, Blackadder.

Oh yeah...and The Office, Extras, Phoenix Nights.

 

[Paulc]

anyone watch Gavin and Stacey?

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

anyone watch Gavin and Stacey?

some of it, not all of it, the flatmate did not like it too much
as for some of these other shows listed like, little britian, the office(uk), anything with rowan atkinson, did someone mention python or faulty towers?
that stuff is all great, actually, this thread made me realize i like uk tv comedy way more than american comedy, even shows like

'Coupling' and

when i was a kid

 

[Black_Eyed_Sioux]

I love comedies such as these:

Black Books
Fist Of Fun
The Mighty Boosh
Blackadder
Beautiful People (The best comedy this year, in my opinion)
Gimme Gimme Gimme
The Two Ronnies
Gavin & Stacey
Steptoe & Son
This Morning With Richard Not Judy
The Royle Family
Absolutely Fabulous

I'm sure there's many more

 

[mozzia]

In no particular order

Fawlty Towers.
Black Books.
Anything with Peter Kay.
Gimme Gimme Gimme. (saw a box set of this today, and would have bought it if it hadn't been the season of spending all my money).
The Office.
The Royle Family.
Peep Show.
The Vicar Of Dibley.
The IT Crowd.

 

[Uncleskinny]

I'm surprised more mention hasn't been made of Blackadder.

"I'm as poor as a church mouse, that's just had an enormous tax bill on the very day his wife ran off with another mouse, taking all the cheese." - and hundreds of others.

Peter

 

[Skinner]

Easily the best show ever = Spaced!

 

[starless]

The Office and Extras. Anything Ricky and Steve have touched has turned to gold .... including KP
