Recommend me something funny

Lands Leaving

Just watched all of its always sunny in philadelphia, best thing to come out in ages, and before that arrested development. Anything else good on tv at the moment, or even in the last few years?

Most comedies are terrible at the moment, little britain and american office come to mind.

You don't like 'The Office'? Then you don't have a sense of humour.

Ah no.. but seriously, 'Its Always Sunny' and 'The Office' are two best comedies on telly right now.

Whose Line is it Anyway? .....most of the shows were a good laugh..
colin & ryan my faves

I miss it...

The Sparrow

Curb your Entusiasm.

Or if you have never checked it out before I would recommend repeats of Seinfeld. Its on every night pretty much and its the best comedy EVER!:D

agree with curb your enthusiasm(the ending of the last ep was genius) wouldn't say best comedy ever for seinfeld I love it but father ted, black books to name but a few, seinfeld/curb are the best american comedies ever not worldwide.

Outer Bongolia

Seinfeld and Curb are two of the best

i think the Peter Serafinowicz show on bbc2 thurs nites is very funny (think it might be finished now but i'll definitely be repeated)

The IT crowd is very good. It can be a bit nerdy at time though.

Pigman II

Flight of the Conchords.

I stand by my statement! ah no your right though, its impossible to differentiate shades of greatness and all of the programmes you mentioned are great too.

Oh and Op if you haven`t watched it before, I would highly reccomend checking out Reno 911 if you have the F/X channel... That is also filled with greatness!

Yeah that one was brilliant.

I'm disabled.
Disabled how?
Leg disabled.

I nearly wet myself.

Also I completely forgot about black books (even though I just bought the 3 series the other day). It's a fantastic show.

Rising damp,or anything with Leonard Rossitter in it.Funniest man ever.

You ahve to have a certian sense of humour to be able to handle the IT Crowd I think. I know plenty of people who hate it. I love it tho If you're into that kindof thing try Garth Marenghi's darkplace aswell.

How I Met Your Mother is one of my favourites, has a dumb laugh track but it doesn't need it. Neil Patrick Harris is absolutely legendary as Barney.

ekevosu

apart from it crowd, its always sunny, us office, arrested development etc, how about 30 rock, a bit hit and miss at times but some brilliant moments.

Flight of the Conchords is the new comedy that has impressed me most.

Curb your enthusiasm top class if you havent seen it already.

Yeah darkplace really was great. Even the opening made me laugh everytime. Pity it's gone.

Freaking brilliant my favourite has to be the 'scotch mist' episode...oh and watch some old 70s show episodes cos you'll always stumble cross one you've never seen before!!

Absolutely brilliant show.

Pigman II

Oh and check out Spaced if you haven't seen it yet. I've seen Shaun of Dead / Hot Fuzz etc but somehow I never got round to seeing this show until just this week. It's brilliant.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

it is truly fantastic alright love the episode with tires in it from season 1.

lostexpectation

just finished watching the the latest series of curb your enthusiam, it impressed me everyweek, brilliant ending too.

tyres :P

yeah recently acquired the dvd with the commentaries and extras, Had never watched the series properly at the time, for such a simply made program it deserves the hype about it, so much fun.

odyssey06

I'd pick How I Met Your Mother also. Barney is legendary

And you're a fan of Superbad\Knocked Up type comedies, see if you can get Undeclared on DVD. It's a US series set in college which is also by Judd Apatow.

Dont be at yourself

+1 for Curb, Seinfeld, Peep Show, Dark Place, Spaced

Killaqueen!!!

Just bought My Name Is Earl on dvd. I know it was on tv a while ago but if you havent watched it I'd recommend it. One of the freshest comedies I've seen in a while. Couple of guest stars you'd recognise as well if you're into other tv shows...;)

And of course goes with saying (but I'll say it anyway) Freaks and Geeks is much watch TV for everyone.

Qs

I'd second 30 Rock and Earl anyway. 2 of the best US sitcoms in production.

lostexpectation

i've tried to watch 30 rock it seems as unfunny as the other tv show show
