With the exception of the top 2, I ranked them in order of what I fancied watching  the most today. Probably be different tomorrow.

The Office. I have realised over these match-ups that I really don't like these older British comedies such as this and Ofah.

 

Fawlty Towers whilst I'm sure was funny on first watch becomes unbearable upon repeat viewings. The Office I can watch random episodes whenever they appear.

Probably the nicest thing anyone has said to me this year.

[Tony Moanero]

Is Ripping Yarns classed as a sitcom? I wouldn’t have thought so. Shame because it’s boss.

Yes but Tony rated it only at number 10. The mad bastard.

Fawlty Towers beats pretty much everything

[Jennings]

Fawlty Towers is the fucking best! Just give it the prize now.

 

I hate Basil and that's why I love him.

The Office is really good. But come on...

[Mook]

The Office & it isn't even close.

 

Fawlty Towers is to TV what It's a Wonderful Life is to film, a load of fucking shouting. Some of it is clever but I find it completely unwatchable now.

 

The Office was close to perfection.
