    A great one is where Del tries to get Albert to act shocked when he learns Rodney is seeing a potential bit on the side.

    Grandad's monologue about war

    The Trotter brothers' reception at the put after becoming millionaires. Always really liked the music in this scene.

    They should have stopped there. The specials where they lost the money really took the gloss off their achievements for me. It was a bit bitter sweet when del realized that he missed the wheeling dealing when he was a millionaire.

    Loved the line from Del when he wanted to buy the sandwiches and said ‘no I’ll get the sandwiches because you got the rolls’.

    The two pair scene was classic. https://youtu.be/C_fHScmyWTA

    I think it is easily the best comedy series ever on tv. I know tv can be subjective but when you compare it to the likes of Friends, Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half men and the likes it shows that those kind of "comedy" programmes are rubbish.

    Another poster mentioned Father Ted. I find the obsession with Father Ted a bit over the top. Again i know tv is subjective but I could never get how some people found it so funny. I dont think it comes near OFAH in terms of comedy and entertainment. OFAH had an amazing capacity to be funny and sad all in the one scene. IMO no show has ever been able to capture that and for me that is why it was (still is) the best tv show (of its kind) on tv.

    They did. I mean with the episode where they had the funeral for the character grandad(the actor having died) should have been a sombre episode but they managed to bring laughter to it by del throwing the hat into the grave.

    The art completion where Rodney had to pretend to be 13 and Cassandra his step mum.

    He loved being part of the groovy gang and excelled in the skateboard competition.

    Can’t find the clip but the scene where Del is discussing his “shared profit scheme” with Mike over redecorating the Nags Head after he quoted him double Brendan the builders price:
    Del: So that’s £500 for vous, £500 for vee
    Mike: What about the other £1000?
    Del: We give that to the Irishman and let him do the job.

    None of the show is funny without context. That scene where del boy falling through the bar isn't amazingly funny, it's like a scene from Drake and Josh or something it's funny when you watch the whole scene. Only fools isn't laugh out loud funny, father Ted the humour is more obvious or Brooklyn 99, only foods charm is in the characters

    The writers of Father Ted considered Trigger to be an influence on the character of Father Dougal

    Post what ya like, but the chandelier sketch is it, end of.

    Was going to mention that.
    Remember watching a documentary on it and they said that the fake chandelier ended up costing more than the original and they used most of the budget for it.
    They had one take and couldn't break character as it would have been shut down.
    The director had to put handkerchiefs into his mouth to cover the smile and laugh.

    Can't find the clip on you tube quickly but I always liked the scene where Del negotiates witness protection and immunity to prosecution - and then admits to the crime himself.

    In a game of Trivial Pursuit, Del was asked what name you'd give to a female swan. He hummed and hawed for a while and Rodney decided to give him a none-too-subtle clue. Tapping the pen in his hand, "come on Del it's easy, it's got 3 letters".

    Del says "Got it. Bic".

    It's my favourite scene from Only Fools. The epitome of comedic 'timing' or indeed mis-timing.

    David Jason desperately trying to keep a straight face and stay in character makes it even funnier.

    Anytime that clip is shown it always has the prelude where Del is geeing up Trigger to go chatting up a lady in the bar who just made eye contact with Del. That's the context i.e. he's all set to act suave and yuppy and ends up looking like a plonker. :pac:

    It's gotten to the point where I've started **** furiously and sobbing uncontrollably when the obligatory 12 episode run on this appears on Christmas day.

    This and the royal family (tv show) should be banned.

    I only watched one episode of Royle family. Didn't get it.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Easily one of the most overrated shows in T.V history.

    It's right up there with seinfeld, friends and the office.

    I really wish Netflix would bring the whole Only Fools and Horses enterprise to their streaming service...and not just 2 seasons+ Christmas specials

    Every time I hear this theme song...it brings a certain warmth to my heart ...be it on Netflix or Cable

    It's a bit of a divisive show. It's the televisual equivalent of gammon & pineapple.
