What's your favourite comedy series? What do you really love about it?
Was very hard to choose but I'm going to go with The League of Gentlemen. Beautifully written, dark and macabre and so funny it hurts. I'm sure I'm not the only one that knows Royston Vasey is Roy Chubby Brown's real name and that he played the mayor. But I'm such a pitiful nerd I know that his character is called Larry Vaughan because the mayor in Jaws is called Larry Vaughan 
So what makes you guys laugh? |

"I absolutely loved Goodnight Sweetheart in the 90's .
And Blackadder  "
I'm so happy that my son's hero is Rowan Atkinson and that he can recognise Blackadder quotes. It's one of the all time greats for sure. |

"Gavin and Stacey.
Brilliantly they stopped when it was at its best and still fresh.
Ben dorm on the other hand dragged on for 3 or 4 seasons too many"
I'm with you regards to Benidorm, the last few series were not good at all in comparison  |

We love 'the good life' but not because its really funny we just like it - feels cosy and comforting but you have to wonder why nobody had kids.
For humour we liked 'the Catherine Tate show' and 'blackadder'. |

The first 5 series of Still Game"
I could relate to the situations,loved the dry humour and thought the characters were fantastic
Unfortunately the humour started to dry up come season six |

"Bottom
Rich ( Rick Mayal) and Eddie ( Ade Edmundson ) were brilliant
Also loved Red Dwarf, although the new ones aren't as funny I find"
Rik Mayalls death broke my heart, he's such a huge figure for my generation. His partnership with Ade was one of the most petfect synchronicities in comedy.
And... Boys from the Dwarf!! |

"The fast show is a firm favourite from my childhood.
Phoenix nights. Which apparently may get a third season soon.
Shameless first few seasons. "
Phoenix Nights is the best thing he ever did. |

The Goldbergs
Blackadder
Fawlty Towers
Coupling
Cabin Pressure (radio comedy)
They are/were clever and inventive with really distinctive characters. Geoff in Coupling was so ridiculously funny. I can see a lot of myself in my 20s in him.

I couldn't agree more. I was gutted when Rik died. The Young Ones, Filthy Rich and Catflap and the Comic Strip presents were all comedy gold but Bottom was my fave |

The Office US and Parks and Rec are the funniest shows I have ever watched and I don't think anything will even beat them! I honestly pissed my pants laughing most episodes, so funny. |

"I'm rather partial to the thick of it, amongst other shows.
Currently watching it with my son, he LOVES it
"Come the fuck in, or fuck the fuck off""
I've got more on my plate than a spinster at a wedding! That's not a reference to your daughter by the way... |

"" Still Game" brilliant but i suspect only aired in Scotland due to the strong accent."
No it was on BBC England too. My partner loves it, personally I don't get it. |

I still love keeping up with appearances, old now but it still makes me chuckle, or one foot in the grave. I think Victor Meldrew was my kindred spirit as a teenager - that is until I transformed into Kevin the teenager from Harry Enfield |

The Simpsons
Comedy on different levels, could watch it with my son when he was younger and we'd both be entertained with the different parts of the humour. It's been fun to watch it with him as he grew up and started to get the more subtle humour within it |

Yaaaaas, Queen!! It's sooooo good, fantastic casting and cameos, very very sweet in a sexy nerd kind of way. I really hope you enjoy it, I found it addictive |
