I never got into Allo Allo, Yes Minster, Last of the Summer wine or Vicar of Dibley and AbFAb made me gag. Some of the shows you guys mention I have never heard of here in the US. We don’t get a lot of your older comedies.

But everyone has forgotten one of the FUNNIEST of all time. It starred one of the characters from Red Dwarf–BRITTAS EMPIRE! MY all time favorite Britcom!

Monty Python
Keeping Up Appearances
and are you being served is one of the Funniest shows ever.

We don’t get alot of BBC comedies here in the states, but these are funny as hell and yes I agree with you about Red Dwarf.

Some that weren’t funny–my hero and the cook–Lenny something and ABFAB! AWFUL!

I’m Alan Partridge and Red Dwarf are both debatable in my opinion, but they are two classics that I know people do like,

Nice to see The Thick of It getting in on the list!

Case in point I just spend over 30 minutes on YouTube watching clips to pick one out, but they are all good.

Here’s a starting point:

Perhaps because the guy who lives across the street from me is the spitting image of the character Ashwin Kumar (the father). Naturally, he doesn’t see any resemblance. Some of the guests stars seemed completely thrown by the gimmick, but Donny Osmond, of all people, was very much “in” on it, and much funnier than I ever would have imagined Donny Osmond could be.

Although my contention was serious. As a writer who actually received deaths threats for my Yahoo article suggesting the Star Wars prequels are better than the original trilogy I know what it’s like to be sandbagged my crazies. Your classy reply indicates that you have dealt with enough of those types to recognize when someone is being playful. I do enjoy Gervais in small doses, but I honestly can’t stand to sit through an entire episode. And anyone who doesn’ tlaugh out loud at Papa Lazrou deserves my place in te stomach of a sarlaac.

Thanks for the reminder. If you have the DVD and turn the alternate subtitles on it tells you which movie is being referenced in the current scene. Practically every single scene has at least one reference to a famous movie, try it!

It is a different breed of comedy, and by that I mean it’s the sort of comedy that they just don’t really make any more.

Thanks for reminding me though, I remember Sunday evenings as a child punctuated by the Last of the Summer wine theme tune…

The main issue is most of the comedies people are mentioning I watch and love! But yeah, it would be an incredibly long list if I had free reign…

It is after all the BBC’s most popular program.
