I hate Carry on films with a passion.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Seinfeld is the greatest comedy ever made.

Agreed

I hate Carry on films with a passion.

Oh well, one out of two ain't bad.

 

[C C Csiders]

I really can't get my head around any American comedy to be honest, so would not know if any are good, bad or indifferent.

Frasier is a masterpiece in slapstick, irony and satire.
Master of None is low-key brilliance
Community is excellent, as is Parks and Rec

However, knowing your dark sense of humour

I would recommend Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

 

[Napster]

Are you Being Served
Dads Army
Hi de Hi
Porridge
Open All Hours
Last of the Summer Wine
Rising Damp
Sorry
Steptoe and Son
Till Death Us Do Part
Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads
Ab Fab
Terry and June...

basically all the old comedies which were repeated ad nauseum whilst i was a lad.

 

[Supernaut]

Totally disagree. Friends despite it's sometime sugary and cloying nature was original and sometimes incredibly funny.

Totally agree. I really didn't want to like it, always thought it was very much a chick thing. Initially I only saw it because the missus watched it all the time when E4 had it on constant rotation, but I quickly grew to love it.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

That "Mrs Brown's Boys" stuff - just not funny, I have tried to watch it a couple of times BUT just can't understand what it is about, but then I don't much like panto either.

 

[Supernaut]

That "Mrs Brown's Boys" stuff

Agreed, complete and utter ****ing ****. Surely not 'classic TV' in anyone's book though.

 

[SonicShrimper]

Any US sitcom that's turned up on E4 (I.e. Friends, How I Met Your Mother or that abomination that is Big Bang Theory), and most British ones, including Gavin and Stacey and The Office, mostly because I find James Corden and David Brent to be the most unfunny ***** in the universe, as well as any soap in existence no matter the channel... Think that's it for now...

I find soaps moronic and far to melodramatic for my money, and most US sitcoms are completely unfunny. Big Bang Theory hits a personal nerve because I find Sheldon to be a raging stereotype of myself. I get enough of me every day, I don't need more.

Do you actually have a sense of humour? Serious question.

 

[SonicShrimper]

Yes. Unfortunately, it seems most of the planet has lower standards.

I'd probably like Spaced, if it's any consolation. Although I find myself preferring Pegg to Frost so that could end badly...

 

[EastStandBlue]

Top Gear. It's for virgins.

Can I nominate Question of Sport? Had a time and place and I did love it back when it wasn't filled with complete tossers and pre-written comedy.

 

[ozzie]

Rising damp
ello,ello
last of the summer wine
love thy neighbour

 

[Benfleet A1]

There are at least two people who will incur my wrath for knocking the two comedy classics that were Porridge and Steptoe & Son. Both genius.

As I only know Napster, he gets double bubble on the wrath thing.

Oh, and I didn't like Friends either.

 

[OldBlueLady]

I LOVE Friends, it's something I can watch over and over again, and is our regular default choice if bugger all else is on!

I always liked OFAH but am finding it becoming seriously tedious these days, it doesn't seem to have quite the longevity I though it did.

And Carry On Films? Sheer genius!

I never have liked The Office, I don't find Ricky Gervais in the least bit funny. Having said that, I have a lot of respect for him when he's being genuine and "normal". I have also never liked Alan Partridge......
