the young ones.
"come in and take the tit off your head", and the episode where they go on university challenge.

[transam]

For me, Open all hours and Dads Army, "Vot is your name", "Don't tell him Pike". Priceless.

[transam]

Forgot, Black Adder, Baldrick, soooooo funny.

[Mosha]

Anyone remember "Brass"? She used to sit at the table puncturing 1 in every 10 condoms. Also the Silent but deadly explosive.

Jesus, nothing sums up the naffness of expat thailand quite so succinctly as Only bloody Fools and bloody Horses - with the possible exception of Hotel California.

Anyone who's been to Crazy Dave's in Pattaya will understand. How I pity the staff.

Some utter gash in that list...

I wouldn't expect anything less of an answer from someone like yourself who spent years in the "UK justice system".

I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that your type are as about as dull as watching paint dry.

OFAH was and still is a national treasure, many many years of laughter and entertainment for all the family.

I pity you, honestly I do.

I am with 101734.

Only Fools is harmless English humour. It has cheered me up already watching 'the broom' sketch again.

Del Boy falling through the bar is still funny, as are many of the Two Ronnies sketches.

.... and don't forget drama - loads to choose from there.

It may be harmless English humour, but it's been done to death. Enough already. It's hyped incessantly by the likes of the Currant Bun and repeated endlessly. It's actually pretty poor when compared to modern, innovative, comedies like The Office, Extras, Peep Show etc. Chandeliers dropping through ceilings or some bloke falling over may have been funny a century ago, but aren't now.

Tell that to a Thai - they p!ss themselves at that one.

People will still be laughing at Morecombe & Wise (albeit a bit dated now), Hancock, Only Fools, The 2 Ronnies, Porridge, Open All Hours - maybe even Benny Hill, long after David Brent is forgotten.

(The Invention of Lying was predictable and dull as dish water - Jervais is normally funny though).

What about the Fast Show ?

[xen]

Two other shows that i loved that haven't been mentioned are

• Black Books
  
• The Khumers at No 42

Plus most of the others previously mentioned.

The Fast Show? It was ok, had its place, but is no great work of art. I've always liked Paul Whitehouse, however. The genius of Gervais is how he killed catchphrase comedy dead. You are very much wrong about who history will be kind to. Brent changed comedy forever; like the Goons, then Python. It is the influence that is impressive, not necessarily the quality of the comedy itself.
