Best British Sitcom Ever?

[Tony Moanero]

Keeping Up Appearances was good, as was Hi-De-Hi!

 

Just seen some cunt say Only Fools and Horses shouldn’t be on the list. Fuck off!

Does Friday Night Dinner get good? I switched off after about 10 minutes of the first episode, found it excruciatingly unfunny.

 

Friday night dinner is boss. Another great character is Grumio off Plebs. The show isn’t good enough to be in a top 20 conversation but he’s a great creation.

The Dad in it is funny as fuck. Used to have be in pieces when I watched the first series. haven't watched much since but it is definitely worth giving a proper go.

Alan Statham on Green Wing is probably the funniest comedy character I’ve ever seen.  

I also love a quiet gem of a comedy series, Still Game, about a load of Scottish wrinklies.  It has a bit of the Father Ted surrealism.  There was an episode where the locals were being pestered by smack rats and they brought this huge bloke back from where he was living to sort then

out.  Makes me laugh quite a bit.

I didn't really like Friday Night Dinner personally. It was passable but that was about all.

Still Game's excellent, love the way they take the piss out of Boaby in the pub. The last series or two have been pretty poor though, they shouldn't have brought it back.

I have never really liked Dad's Army and always thought it was very overrated. Porridge was a class ahead of that but still a bit behind the elite shows like Fools and Horses,Blackadder etc.

[Jairzinho]

 

One of my favourite characters in comedy.

Like what? Fleabag and The Inbetweeners would never have been made in the '70s, '80s or '90s, and yet they're superb comedy series. 

[Paulie Dangerously]

Fleabag will be held up there in years to come.

Aah, the familiar cry of the embittered white moron.

 

Most of these shows get regularly repeated - and most of them look quaint and tame compared to a lot of today's comedy.
