What used to be funny when it was first on.....

Red Dwarf

[nijinsky's fetlocks]

...but is crap when you watch repeats years later.

I'll start with:

Morecambe and Wise
90% of Monty Pythons flying circus (TV programmes not films)

Nijinsky's Fetlocks.

You're right Billy - I have lost my cutting edge of late.
I'll try harder in future, I really will.
Back on topic, I watched some Spike Milligan programmes the other day and they were shockingly unfunny, and I loved Spike Milligan as a kid.

Citizen Smith

truly, shockingly, outdated.

On the Buses.

To think that programme had 20 million viewers in it's day beggars belief.

I disagree.

When I watched it 40 years ago as a child it left me cold.

Now I see the comedy genius of the programme is in its slapstick predictability and the facial expressions.

That's why I like Sykes.

Each episode is the same. some daft antics from Eric and Hattie and then the policeman, Derek Guyler, comes round to offer inane advice.

Rowan and Martin laugh in, late 60s early 70s, my parents used to piss themselves laughing at it, i thought it was OK, seen a clip the other day WTF it's Yank dogshite, i'd sooner go duck shooting than sit through another five minutes of that

Still lust after Goldie Hawn though.
