    Only fools and horses and fawlty towers should get frequent mentions, They are in my opinion the greatest comedy series ever made!

    Only fools and horses ; when Delboy buys paint off trigger that he got from the train depot and paints Mr Chins kitchen in the chinese restaurant and his mothers grave only to find out later its luminous paint :D

    Surprised that I had nearly read thru the whole thread before the Marx Bros got a couple of mentions.
    Comedic genius & some of the most risqué one liners of their time
    Groucho: You know I think you're the most beautiful woman in the world?
    Woman: Really?
    Groucho: No, but I don't mind lying if it gets me somewhere

    Stewart Lee is like a pseudo intellectual Michael McIntyre. Both utter ****e but both utterly revered by certain sections of society. A fart by John Sullivan would be funnier and more intelligently done than Lee's whole career, and he knows it. Unfortunately, his fans don't. Lee dissing OFAH is like some oul c'unt down the local claiming he could have personally knocked out Ali back in the day. Pathetic humour.




    While it was great, I'm tied about the auto inflating blow up dolls and the exploding bus myself. In all truth while nearly every episode was great, there must be at least ten scenes that can contend for a "best of" moment, not many shows can bost that in a 20 year run (with several years off)

    Has Stewart Lee's comedy ever caused a person to nearly throw up, blind from crying in a laughing fit?

    Has it ****. But Only Fools has for me, several times. Lee is a wanker of the highest order.

    QFT. That entire episode is fantastic but all the bits with Del and Trig in the wine bar leading up to the fall are great too.

    Del chewing the top of his pen. Barman: 'Scuse me sir, are you eating?' Del: 'No, I was just nibblin' it.' Trig with the pork pie is genius too.

    I think one of my favourite Only Fools scenes ever is when Rodney is trying to write a film and Del comes up with 'There is a Rhino Loose in the City.' It's on YouTube but I can't post it right now, maybe someone would do the honours.

    The IT Crowd episode "The Work Outing" is one of the funniest half hour of tv ever. There are so many gems in it. These two are prob my favourite

    I'm not saying it's the best but Men Behaving Badly has had some really funny scenes. The auld boys in the background of the pub in this are priceless:

    I may be packing the sort of tackle you'd expect to see hanging between the hind legs of a grand national winner, but I'm no fool....

    Only fools and horses when dell falls through the hatch in the bar.

    That scene is let down by the fact that Del doesn't put his elbow out to rest on the bar before he falls down.

    Big Train:

    'The Artist Formerly Known As Prince stalks a herd of Jockeys in the African Plains.'

    Can't link to the scene, but even thinking about it still makes me laugh!

    I like it when nominally uptight people let their hair down. Literally, in some cases.

    Example 1: Lilith and Frasier, in Cheers:

    Example 2: Leonard'a mother gets loaded, in The Big Bang Theory:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrfxaMo-Lec

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
