Recommend me some British comedy.

[nonl33t m4st3r]

Terry Pratchett's books are always a good read. Top Gear is a love-it-or-hate-it type of thing, and a bit more low brow, but I think it's kinda funny.

 

[Necrofudge]

Not very British, But I can recommend Two Ronnies & The Office (the British one)

Not much else that I know of. Don't eat their food, I guess...

 

[ottenni]

Black Books, Blackadder, Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. Get moving you have allot of comedy to watch!!!

 

[Uncle Chaos]

Fawlty Towers - It's John Cleese and you can watch it all in a day as there is only one season.

Uhm, aren't there two seasons made of Fawlty Towers?

I also recommend Fawlty Towers, anything of Monty Python, Blackadder and Little Britain. I haven't seen any other British series in its entirety.

As for stand-up comedians: Eddie Izzard and Michael McIntyre are two good suggestions. However: I find Lee Evans to be at the top of this category. That bloke is hilarious.

you are indeed correct, my appologies

 

[_Cake_]

The Mighty Boosh

 

[Zaydin]

The Blackadder series and Monty Python.

 

[Vigilantis]

Mr. Bean

 

[Obrien Xp]

Red Dwarf

Monty Python

Faulty Towers

Mr. Bean

add:
Blackadder
Snuff box
Spaced
Black Books

I'm not going to conform to your views because, I can't give my opinion on something that I haven't seen.

 

[smithy1234]

The Inbetweeners

The ultimate British show for cringe comedy.

 

[KurtzGallahad]

"A bit of Fry and Laurie" A sketch show from two of the most famous british comedic actors.
Definately black books and the IT crowd
And simon pegg's movies

 

[KurtzGallahad]

And my family,
It's really long running but hasn't lost any of it's humour

 

[Doctor Robert]

Monty Python's Life of Brian, alot better than the over-quoted Holy Grail

 

[vorlors]

I'm assumeing monty was all ready implyed so hot fuzz Red Dwarf mr bean and it crowd

 

[Maelgwyn]

MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS!

Ok, its out of my system. But nearly everything listed deserves to be watched. I find Torchwood to be funny too (cause of its scifiness)

 

[Seras]

IT Crowd, Spaced, Mock the Week, Black Books

 

[CrafterMan]

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

MEMORY....IS RAM!

lolololol

 

[Mordant Marmite]

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

Lies!

Anyways I'd say: Blackadder, Black Books, Fawlty Towers, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Hyperdrive, The IT Crowd, The League Of Gentlemen, Men Behaving Badly, Porridge, One Foot In The Grave, Spaced and The Thin Blue Line.

Also depending on taste: Absolutely Fabulous, Are You Being Served, George & Mildred, Hi-de-Hi!, Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em and The Royle Family.

My Family (until the Nick character leaves) and My Hero (until the last series where they replaced the lead actor) are quite good as well.

 

[S.R.S.]

Blackadder but you've already bought the box set now haven't you?
