Who else loves British comedy ??? I rewatched coupling recently. I just found black books and spaced gatherings. Any other British comedy you love? Ohh red dwarf! I haven't watched that in ages though.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Besides British comedy, they do the news well also. I liked, Are you being served, Waiting for God, Last of the summer wine.... But there are American comedies, maybe not presented in the British style, that are "funny": Barny Miller, Night Court. Yes, there are some American 'comedies' that lack 'any' humour and that grind on the nerves. There is the laugh tape though; it comes on for the convenience of the unindoctrinated, so they will know that they were supposed to laugh at the last mindless blurt.

The Young Ones, Monty Python and Are You Being Served were watched extensively while under the influence of various mind altering substances back when I was in college. I especially miss The Young Ones. God I loved that show.

Are you being served! Oh so good. I want to be her when I'm old
I loved The Young Ones! I was trying to explain that show to someone last week.
One does not simply "explain" The Young Ones. They go to You Tube and play an episode of the show, and the recipient will either get it or they won't.
Monty python. "I fart in your general direction!"

I love British Comedy. Benny Hill is one I can think of and the man everything seems to create a crisis, Mr. Bean. I think he is hilarious.

is it true that they still show benny hill on American tv? its not been shown in uk since the mid eighties!
@Gingerfrizz I haven't seen them on TV for a while now. Early 2000's was the last time that I saw them on TV in the U.S.
Love British comedy. I remember discovering Monty Python on PBS when I was at University and have loved it ever since. I recently discovered my library has DVDs of Red Dwarf. It isn't any less dumb now than it was back then. I loved it.

Faulty Towers besides MPFC of course. I thought CrazyHead, on Netflix was pretty good.

Father Ted.
By far and away the best non-religious religious comedy programme ever.

Agreed! Father Ted is hysterical! It's by the creator of The IT Crowd, which is also great.
Black Adder!
never liked coupling, something about people who are obsessed with pairing up

I watched one episode of black addler. It was ok but I'll need to try more later.
Coupling is one of my favorite shows. There are so many funny parts.
Love Black Adder too.
Coupling was good, but Outnumbered was funnier. They haven't come back with a new season yet, though. @Holyhellkel
I watched enough Top Gear as a child to adopt British slang.

OMG 8 out 10 cats does countdown is one of my favorite things ever. Love Jimmy Carr (regular 8 out of 10 cats and Countdown are pretty cool too and I love Quite Interesting)
I love British late night shows like The Russel Howard Hour, and 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.

I assume you already went through all the required Monty Python?

Yes. Though I don't think I finished flying circus
My faves have been listed, as a kid it was the Carry on team, and the Doctor at large series. No offense guys, but I find American humour lacking, the British seem to have it sown up. Three Stooges versus Monty Python, though I have to Admit Martin and Lewis, Abbot and Costello were pretty good.
