I myself am a fan of most of the aforementioned British sitcoms. One of my most favourites is Bottom with Rik Mayall and Adrian Edminson. Utterly hilarious antics of two lowlifes who want to have it off with women.

I'm a fan of Python, Blackadder and Red Dwarf!

Lister has got to be the coolest character ever.

The irony of course is that the characters had no class. Their comical fighting always had me in stitches. And the duo's cameo appearence in Blackadder goes Forth was simply one of the best.

Flashheart: "Always treat your kite, (whacks board) like you treat your woman!" (whips the air)

George: "How do you mean sir, Do you mean take her home to meet your mother?"

Flashheart: "No. I mean get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and back!"

Red Dwarf was one of the best as well. It went downhill when series 7 started though.

I could go all day, Blackadder, Python, Partridge; the ist goes on. Here is one of my fave quotes:

Blackadder II

Percy: Sorry I'm late

Edmund: Don't worry, I'm sorry you're alive

Can't forget to mention 'The Day Today' and 'Brass Eye' Spoof news programmes with Chris Morris. (Brass Eye being the one that had the most complaints 'cos of the piss taking pedophile episode.) The Day Today was where Alan Partridge first appeared if I'm not mistaken.

I just saw some of those episodes today. Great stuff. The helicopter pad/spike through the foot was wonderful. Vomiting during his speech because he's in so much pain.

I never really saw Jeeves and Wooster, but I do like Steven Fry and Huge Laurie. Both Blackadder veterans themselves.

"Row row row your boat gently down the stream,
Belts off, trousers down isn't life a scream!"

There are endless quotes from all the Blackadders that are equally funny.

Best Blackadder scene ever, the very start of 'Head' in series 2 where Blackadder is teaching Baldrick to count:

Edmund: Right Baldrick, let's try again shall we? This is called adding. If I have two beans, and then I add two more beans, what do I have?

Baldrick: Some beans.

Edmund:Yes...and no. Let's try again shall we? I have two beans, then I add two more beans. What does that make?

Baldrick: A very small casserole.

Edmund: Baldrick, the ape creatures of the Indus have mastered this. Now try again. One, two, three, four. So how many are there?

Baldrick: Three

Edmund: What?

Baldrick: And that one.

Edmund: Three and that one. So if I add that one to the three what will I have?

Baldrick: Oh! Some beans.

Edmund: Yes. To you Baldrick, the renaissance was just something that happened to other people wasn't it?

*classic* Blackadder.

Oh, while I'm here, Jeeves and Wooster also rock - Fry and Laurie were the only people put on this earth that could have done it so well.

The original books are well worth a read!

Are you thinking of the Blandings Castle series with Lord Emsworth?

Psmith is actually my favourite Wodehouse series.

Ive just started watching a bit of Fry and Laurie recently. I can't believe it hasn't attained the mainstream status it deserves, it's easily as funny as monthy python

Edmund: Someone wants to see me at four in the morning? What is he, a giant lark?

Baldrick: No, he's a priest.

Edmund: Tell him I'm Jewish.
_________________________________________________________________
Mollie: He was treating me like a human being.

Edmund: Look, if I had wanted a lecture on the rights of Man, I would have gone to bed with Martin Luther.
_________________________________________________________________
Edmund: So, lads, I'm up a certain creek without a certain instrument. Either I raise a thousand pounds by this evening, or I get murdered. What should I do?

Baldrick: It's obvious.

Edmund: What?

Baldrick: You'll have to get murdered.
_________________________________________________________________
Edmund: I can *not* believe it! She drags me all the way from Billingsgate to Richmond to play about the weakest practical joke since Cardinal Woolsey got his knob out at Hampton Court and stood at the end of the passage pretending to be a door.
_________________________________________________________________
Percy: (rushes out of the living room) Edmund, oh Edmund, I've awaited your return! (hugs him)

Edmund: And thank God you did, for I was just thinking, "My god! I die in 12 hours. What I really need now is a hug from a complete prat!"
_________________________________________________________________
Edmund: I'd rather die.

Baldrick: Oh, fair enough, that's all right, then. I'll just put the kettle on while we wait, shall I? (turns to leave)
_________________________________________________________________
Edmund: There, that's the lot. He only wanted to pay a thousand, but I managed to beat him up to eleven hundred.

Percy: Oh, Edmund, you wily old trickster, you!

Edmund: Oh, credit where credit's due -- I just named the price; it was Baldrick who actually beat him up.
_________________________________________________________________
Bishop: THIS IS WHERE YOU GET-- (staggers backward, choking) DRUGGED... BY GOD!

Edmund: No, by Baldrick, actually, but the effect is much the same.
_________________________________________________________________
Bishop: You fiend! Never have I encountered such corrupt and foul-minded perversity! Have you ever considered a career in the Church?

The funniest ones I could find, in one episode alone!
