Recommend me some British comedy.

[TheJackel2008]

Hello fellow Escapist!

Just as the title says. I have seen Only Fools and Horses, The Young Ones, Bottom, Love Thy Neighborhood, Little Britain, Father Ted and 2D TV. But I want to see some others, I'm personally not into The Office (I dislike Ricky) and not really a big fan of Mighty Boosh. So recommend me some comedies

 

[Karlott]

Blackadder, Red Dwarf.

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

Red Dwarf. You can not go wrong with Red Dwarf.
And Blackadder
Or if you like older stuff, Dads Army, Fawlty Towers, Thin Blue Line and Yes Minister

 

[AkJay]

Lee Evans is really funny (He's a comedian, so it's technically "British comedy")

 

[The Infinite]

The IT Crowd.

 

[madcap2112]

Spaced. If you love Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, you should like that too.

 

[CakeDragon]

The IT Crowd, that is my recommendation. It's awesome.

 

[Acier]

The IT Crowd.

This times a million, and Fawlty Towers.

And the Irish gifted us with Hardy Bucks... but that's not really British.

And for Stand up, Eddie Izzard is beastly

 

[FactualSquirrel]

Wait, why does it have to be British?

Because there's plenty of good reaons for choosing a comedy other than that it's British.

Like y'know, it being funny.

 

[Peanut Butter]

All that springs to mind for tv is: Mr Bean!!!

But on the film front: Johnny English, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

Are you being served perhaps?
Fawlty towers was already mentioned
My hero?
My Family?

 

[The_Graff]

Peep Show

 

[Indecizion]

Red dwarf, monty python, black adder etc there are alot of them.

 

[Dudemeister]

Father Ted is awesome!
Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Peep Show, The IT Crowd, A bit of Fry and Laurie.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

A Bit of Fry and Laurie damnit!

You must watch this!

 

[Cuacuani]

Spaced. If you love Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, you should like that too.

This gentleman has fine taste. Listen to him.

 

[Johnmw]

There's so many to choose from...where to start....Black Books! Or my Personal favourite Green Wing, (you have to watch the episodes in order though).

 

[MortalForNow]

Monty Python. Anything Monty Python is gold. The show, the movies, you really can't go wrong with that.

Spaced. If you love Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, you should like that too.

This is more modern British comedy but it's also great too.

 

[Jonesy911]

Anything by Ricky Gervais is pure gold, you're mad

But there is QI (comedic quiz show), Peep Show, Mitchell and Webb look and every new year there's "The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year"
