TV prog that is actually funny !

[Nimrod1960]

In effort to find something amusing to watch last night, found The Green Wing on ch4 on demand thingy.

Had forgotten how absurdly funny this series was, still is. Much belly laughing and binge watching followed.

Apart from the obvious comedy gold like Dad’s Army what else is out there to re-amuse us?

Bernard Manning on YouTube.... not very PC, but if you're of a certain vintage very entertaining.

ive just watched all of the hello hello series, my belly is still hurting with laughter, next is aint half hot mum great comedy oooooh michelle bs

First: you are right - Green Wing is absolutely brilliant. Dr Alan Statham is a genuine work of genius.

Second: try "The thick of it". Malcolm Tucker rants & creative insult barrages are outstanding.

Third: "The IT crowd". Absurd & lined with reality for those who have been exposed to corporate IT departments.

Bernard Manning on YouTube.... not very PC, but if you're of a certain vintage very entertaining.

He was not funny - even then, in less 'enlightened' times.

Just my view.

Black adder ,Peter Kay ,Porridge, Dave Allen all get my vote.

I had forgotten about this:

I’m guessing those that made it might wish to!

That said the kitchen scene is a killer.

Green Wing was very good, I've always found Lee Evans and Al Murray very funny and as a kid I was brought up on a diet of Dave Allen, Benny Hill and shows like Love Thy Neighbour - sadly nothing even closely as funny on the box these days...

 

[FISH BOY]

Two and a half men always amused me.

Was free on Amazon Prime recently.

The classic is Fawlty Towers. Also Black Adder.

On a slightly more serious note but still very funny are Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister.

Then, personally, I liked Keeping Up Appearances.

2 Ronnies still make me roll up

 

[Morkai]

The Fast Show
Curb your Enthusiasm
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

 

[Bavarianbrit]

One foot in the grave I enjoyed. The classic "I don't believe it".
Then agai Today in Parliament must be good for a modern laugh a minute.

Detectorists, if you have Netflix. Absolute gem of a programme.

 

[Skinny Pete]

Early Doors gets my vote for a good Tv comedy

 

[Drum123]

Detectorists, if you have Netflix. Absolute gem of a programme.

I never heard of that but stumbled on it last week on netflix. You're right , it's a cracking series.
