[alles ist gut]

His pot is blacker than his kettle.

[Lee909]

I fucking hate the cockney bullshit. 

Can't stand only fools and horses. 

[manwiththestick]

I hate, genuinely hate Ofah so it's Blackadder all day long.

[Tony Moanero]

Both are brilliant but Only Fools and Horses edges it for the great characters and sheer longevity. The specials are brilliant, too, especially To Hull and Back and Jolly Boys’ Outing.

The opposite reason I went for Blackadder Tone as it didnt go on longer than it needed to

[Dave D]

Blackadder always struck me us irreverant public school boy stuff.

 

Only fools was genius at times.

 

Only fools wins by some distance

Like all these things, it’s subjective, mate.

 

I did a list of my 16 favourite sitcoms of all time, which is considerably different from the various polls you find online. For example, I have Outnumbered and You Rang, M’Lord? in mine, which don’t feature in any of the top 15 - 20s elsewhere.

Blackadder by Fucking Miles

[Dave D]

To be fair its two of the top seeds against each other in the first round.

That frustrates me these days- really good comedies stop while they are doing well through fear of being typecast.

 

Hard to argue I guess when you see Freeman in The Hobbit and Crook in Pirates of The Caribbean after being relatively unknown in The Office.

 

That said, The American Office had something like 7 seasons and they all went on to other things

[Jairzinho]

Fucking hell, group of death.

 

Blackadder, not by much.

Yeah. Would haven been a good semi.

[Mike D]

I like both but always a bit wary of those people who say Only fools is their favourite sitcom. You know the type, who drive robin reliant vans painted yellow.

 

Blackadder 2 was the best one.

Bit like Kate Garraway.

[Remmie]

This shouldn't be remotely close, Blackadder of course is better

This.

 

Sod's Law says Mrs Brown's Boys will be drawn against My Family in another tie.

[VladimirIlyich]

This is the final,not round one.

[sir roger]

Both brilliant & deserving of going further , but I feel Blackadder is a bit cleverer & David Jason has tainted his legacy a bit with some poor outings lately.

Well, you could say this is Del Boy's final.

This. Struggling here.

[General Dryness]

Went with Blackadder. Some amazing moments in Only Fools though. This is still one of my favourites .

 

 

 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Really tough choice. I've gone for OFaH though, as the early years were both funny and tinged with pathos. Grandad had some belting lines.

 

It's easy to let the latter years of interminable shite make you forget just how good it was.

[Aventus]

I have it on good authority that only nonces think Blackadder is better than Only Fools and Horses.
