So it was. Missed that and got the title wrong lol

 

See Toast in your list. Can't decide if I think it's brilliant or crass.

I find with Toast, the moments of sheer brilliance outweigh the times when it goes off at bizarre tangents. It could do with losing the songs though.

Nice list!

 

Good to see Happy Endings on there. Could have made my top 10 and I probably should have had That 70's Show on mine.

Thought of it at the end, it was really good from what I remember. 

 

P.S If The Thick Of It counts that's in my top ten as well.

 

You could substitute it in for 'Goodnight Sweetheart' and regain my respect for you which was left in tatters after reading that inclusion!

Yeah! Gay, the musical.

 

"Willies, willies, I like willies." "No, it's I love willies." "What?" "I LOVE WILLIES!" "Excuse me, sir, can you keep it down, please?"

 

Funniest episode is a tricky question. The ones that spring to mind are The Young Ones - Sick, where they're all ill, the training day from The Office ("I think there's been a rape up there!") and maybe Basic Alan from I'm Alan Partridge - the one where he's bored and dismantles his trouser press.

I don't know if you listen to Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast, but he was obsessed with Goodnight Sweetheart and used to talk about it a lot. He thinks it's rubbish but used to watch it all the time. I think he's even written a sitcom based on it where someone who's obsessed with GS time travels back to the set of that show.

 

It is a very poor show, and the fact that we're supposed to believe that Nicholas Lyndhurst is irresistible to women makes it hard to believe.

The training day from the Office is a great shout.

 

Tim- 'the farmer doesn't have a wife, he's gay'

 

Gareth- 'well he shouldn't be allowed around animals then'

Mark: I can't believe coming here cost more than a film.

 

Jeremy: I've got Heat on DVD at home. We're watching this, when for less money, we could be watching Robert De Niro AND Al Pacino.

 

Mark: I'm going to pretend I am watching Heat.

 

Jeremy: OK. Let's pretend we're just watching Heat.

 

lol

The Inbetweeners probably would've made my list had it not ran for a series and two films too long. The first two were genuinely hilarious but by the time it finished it was a parody of itself.

 

Does anyone remember the Frank Skinner sitcom Shane on itv? From like the mid noughties, absolutely terrible but almost that bad it's superb.

In no particular order, and assuming animated shows are allowed:

 

M*A*S*H (More of a Drama-Comedy than full on comedy, but still a brilliant show - And my specialist subject if i ever went on Mastermind) - Can't believe more people haven't said this to be honest.

Red Dwarf

The Young Ones

Fawlty Towers

Blackadder

The Simpsons

Open All Hours

Porridge

Futurama

Family Guy

I like both British and American sitcoms..

For different reasons. The set up, the punch lines, the twists are different.

The comedy within the various societies of each country, give them a certain

uniqueness.

Few Americans get our timing or humour, whereas we pick up on all the variables and scope of theirs.

Hence their classics go down excellently well here, then obviously there are the personal tastes.

I like many American sitcoms, but it was/is the British that gave me belly-aching laughs.

I suppose because of simple association and familiarity...

Father Ted, where he keeps inadvertently insulting the local Chinese community.
