We see game shows over here and think, cool idea for a show…then find out it’s been running in the UK for years. You guys are usually ahead of the curve.
My son is getting me the first two seasons of The Office(UK)
Father Ted (Irish)
Spaced
The IT Crowd
Black Books
All hilarious. Especially Father Ted…Dougal is sooooo funny.
The Vicar of Dibley is pretty funny too.
Monty Python’s flying circus
Also both Monty Python’s Life of Brian and Holy Grail even though they’re movies. Almost every comedy show and movie references them at least once.
Anything Chris Morris has ever done.
JAM is quite possibly the greatest and darkest comedy ever.
'When dancing, lost in techo trance, arms flailing, gawky Bez, then find you snagged on frowns, and slowly it dawns, you’re jazzing to the bleep tone of a life support machine that marks the steady fading of your day old baby daughter. And when midnight sirens lead to blue flash road mash, stretchers, covered heads and slippy red macadam, and find you creeping ‘neath the blankets, to snuggle close a mangle bird, hoping you soon too will be freezer drawed. Then welcome. Mmm, ooh chemotherapy wig. Welcome. In Jam, Jam, Jam, Jam, Jaaaaam.’
I am also particularly fond of the epic satire of BRASS EYE.
‘Why is it that we can no longer think of the British Isles without the word ‘Paedoph’ appearing in front of them’?
‘Luckily, the amount of heroin I use is harmless, I inject about once a month on a purely recreational basis. Fine. But what about other people less stable, less educated, less middle-class than me? Builders or blacks for example. If you’re one of those, my advice is leave well alone. Good luck’.

I know Americans aren’t overly fond of Russell Brand but his “ponderland” is funny as show.

Russell Brands a naturally funny dude, it’s just his work doesn’t live up to that. He’s insanely good when he comes on talk shows here.
