All time top five comedy series ever?

[Maz]

Oh, I almost forgot... The Kids in the Hall (rather droll Canadian sketch show) and Mystery Science Theatre 3000...

Good call. I enjoy both of these. MST3K is always good for a laugh.

 

[Plax]

In no paticular order as such;
1) The Goodies
2) Dad's Army
3) The Young Ones
4) Red Dwarf
5) Spitting Image

Curb your Enthusiasm ,
what a superb programme Larry David is a genius

2 episodes spring to mind

the episode when his wifes aunt dies ,he is asked to put an obituary in the newspaper ,it should have read "To my dearly beloved aunt " but instead it came out as "to my dearly beloved *UNT

and the episode where he invites a paedophile to celebrate the jewish festival of passover with loads of kids in attendance again BRILLIANT !!!!!

being jewish myself this would not happen in a million years and as for all the other episodes and series i could quite easily watch them over and over again !!! and for which i can certainly relate to !!!!!

Goon show

Blackadder 2 (closely followed by 3, then 4)
Yes Minister
Spitting Image.

Any number of ones I could also mention - Hitchhikers, Python, Red Dwarf, Young Ones...oh wow, I could go on all day. I once had to pull over and turn ISIHAC off as I was utterly unfit to drive through laughing. Someone was singing 'I Am The Walrus' to the tune of 'Don't Cry for me Argentina'
I defy anyone to watch the 'Going for an English' sketch on Goodness Gracious Me and not almost wet themselves...

Speaking of ISIHAC... The Archers theme tune has never been quite the same for me since the words of "Love Me Tender" were sung along to it...

Spitting Image.

Any number of ones I could also mention - Hitchhikers, Python, Red Dwarf, Young Ones...oh wow, I could go on all day.

The episode where Neil was pregnant and it turned out to be a trapped fart... oh dear... I giggle thinking about it.
