Best British Sitcom Ever?

[Guest davelfc]

Once you've been anywhere in the world abroad and had EVERY SINGLE street tout and beggar say Lubbly Jubbly to you for six solid months you will know why I hate Only Fools and Horses so much.

 

Crazy isn't it, does my head in. I thought it was great but it's dated badly and been battered so much on tv that I can't watch it anymore.

 

I've seen OFAH bars as well, brits going on holiday abroad to sit in a bar watching OFAH all day. Crazy.

Everywhere I bloody went in Goa,Lubbly jubbly and Asda price.

Did my head right in.

Bottom with more votes than The Young Ones?! Don't get me wrong it was good in its own right but still...

[Remmie]

I quite liked Space, it's OK but never quite got why it was so lauded. Still surprised to see 3 sitcoms considered better than Partridge, but people are often wrong.

[zigackly]

Is Partridge even a sitcom? I thought it was funny, but not THAT funny.

 

Blackadder is the best one in the list which is actually British.

The Young Ones was funny in patches, but dire for minutes at a time...usually when Alexi Sayall showed his face.

 

Bottom is 30 minutes wall to wall, piss yourself laughing out loud magic.

Absolutely, why would you question it?

 

Blackadder is second for me but I wouldn't be surprised watching them all again moved it to the number 1 spot, same can be said for Porridge really.

[zigackly]

Absolutely, why would you question it?

 

I always hoped it was real.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Surprised that (so far) Steptoe and Son and Rising Damp have only received 1 vote between them.

 

Both brilliant.

I loved Bottom when I was 13, I don't think it's something I could appreciate as much now though. The Young Ones hasn't dated that well either, but it gets a pass because it was pioneering.

[KMD7]

Dad's army for me but there's so many great ones on that list. Love only fools, rising damp, the young ones and bottom also

[Mike D]

phoenix nights not a sit com?

 

only fools and horses has some great funny moments, but theres usually a long build up to jokes.

 

why i tend to like sketch or panel type programmes rather than sit coms.

 

 

 

father ted I like better as its more laugh a minute.

 

then it'd be fawlty towers

 

never really watched partridge, tried to a few times but just cant get into it

[aws]

Anyone mentioned Love Thy Neighbour yet?

[Sugar Ape]

Even though I Wouldn't pick Blackadder overall, Blackadder goes forth is surely the greatest single season? Both seasons of Fawlty Towers push it close, though.

[bonesman]

I voted for other 'Love thy neighbour'

[s(k)aturation]

Morning, Major.

Don't be ridiculous, Darling.

[dickie mint]

Rising damp.

[The Golden Eel]

I'm Alan Partridge Series 1 for me

Sneaky self bump, eh? I've got my eye on you.

 

Spaced and only fools are the top two there, for me. Spaced because it holds a special place.

 

Omg, I've got some fucking Jaffa cakes in my coat pocket!

Series.

 

Whilst we're talking about British sitcoms, I think it's right to use the British term.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I am prickly about it.  IT MATTERS.

[stringvest]

Does The Thick of It count?

[razor]

Morning, Major.

Don't be ridiculous, Darling.

 

They're guests, Major.

Oh, well your guess is as good as mine.

 

 

Perhaps they have come for you.

[razor]

Where's Duty Free?

[The Golden Eel]

Where's Duty Free?

 

In terminal 2 beside the bogs. 

[Jairzinho]

Does The Thick of It count?

 

If it does it's the clear winner. If not, Fawlty Towers followed by Blackadder.
