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.

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!

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.

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiffToff88 Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 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.

fuchsntf Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
