Best and worst comedy shows EVER

[Grassland Blue]

Best - Watery Fouls, Only Fools, League of Gentlemen, Family Guy.

Worst - Miranda, Mrs Brown's boys.

 

[growl]

Best: Seinfeld
Worst: Dunno life’s too short to watch crap.

Seinfeld head and shoulders above all other shows.

 

[malg]

Best - Watery Fouls, Only Fools, League of Gentlemen, Family Guy.

Worst - Miranda, Mrs Brown's boys.

Good choices there. I'd probably add Curb Your Enthusiasm.

 

[Cheesy]

Best - Fools

Worst - Any American 'comedy' particularly fucking Friends.

 

[RACHACE]

Best: Some mother’s do av em.

Worst: My Family, Not Going Out or Mrs Browns Boys. All shite.

Quite liked Nighty Night and Smack the Pony too as alternatives.

 

[tyqmvko]

Best - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Worst - Mrs Brown's Boys

Surely the 70s was the greatest decade for comedy shows ? At least seven or eight of the greatest dozen or so were from that decade. Rising Damp Reggie Perrin Porridge The Likely Lads Dads Army Steptoe and Son Monty Python Fawlty Towers plus we had Eric and Ern at their best and other good stuff like MASH .

 

[Pam]

There's some pretty hilarious stuff going on at West Ham's stadium just now.

 

[BimboBob]

Forgot Blackadder, absolute class. Especially 2,3 and 4. Also love Bottom and The Young Ones mainly for the buzz they caused when they first came out. And I love (P)Rik.

And Men Behaving Badly. Just good for it's time, great chemistry and Leslie Ash before "Pout".

Best - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Worst - Mrs Brown's Boys

How the fuck did I forget Sunny! I binged it and ended up cultivating mass

 

[AlgarveBlu]

Miranda has to be the worst- I would pay a lot of money just for an explanation as to how anyone finds that remotely funny

Office and fools the best

 

[Chippy_boy]

Worst ever, by a country mile, without question: Mrs Brown's Boys.

Best ever: Fawlty Towers. Yes it's old and we've seen them all 23 times, but at the time, it was the funniest thing ever seen on TV imo.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Not the best ever, but can I suggest an honourable mention for season 1 of The Detectorists. Very, very funny.

 

[laserblue]

I always loved Green Wing and never tire of watching it.

There have been many truly dreadful and unfunny so called comedy shows but IMO the worst was On The Buses. All the characters ever did was shout at each other.

Do you not have South Park over there?

 

[johnnytapia]

There isn’t a bad line in The Office. Every word is crafted brilliantly. It parodies the humdrum life so well and with killer lines to boot. And hasn’t aged a second.
The Les Dennis “Extras” was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
Miranda - dogshit.

 

[dickie davies]

I caught a couple of Yes Minister on classic TV the other month and it is spectacularly written, plus all the issues that are being dealt with are all relevant today
Porridge and Rising Damp are incredibly brilliant and both seem to fly under the radar

As for bad, there has been some dreadful stuff produced, but I just don't get why some of the worst run for series after series

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Do you not have South Park over there?

Yes, but never really watched it properly. Dipped in and out a bit like I did with Futurama and the long forgotten King of the Hill, but never really took to it enough

 

[Deepest Blue]

Best-Fawlty Towers (obvious choice but the right one)
Worst-Curry and Chips
