I don't really find any of these funny. I never did like British sit-com humour much.
None of them?! I have to doubt the sanity of anyone who doesn't find Blackadder Series 2 to 4 hilarious.
I agree with Charlie!
I especially think that David Brent is one of the best comedy personalities ever invented, not to mention Victor Meldrew, Basil Fawlty, etc. Hilarious.
Personally, I've always found characters in US sitcoms too one dimensional and 'easy' They don't seem to have the depth and self-depricating side of Brit ones.
Maybe I'm weird, but I find 99% of US comedy series unfunny.
"Did you see it Stu, the one where Del Boy fell through the bar"
Good pick there. And Delboy should be no.1, I concur. I'd have selected AbFab though, along with maybe The Mighty Boosh, Little Britain and Peep Show.
This week, I've been investigating why I was left off this list.
Where am I?
