Where are the new 'Young Ones' Indy?

[Big Dave]

Boston legal? I just don't get that show. It's eve more stupid than Ally McBile

Scrubs
My Name is Earl.


British Comedy...oh..there's hardly any these days is there? Not.

Chewin' the Fat - (ok for first few series)
Still Game - Brilliant
Alan Partridge
Ali G - not really my cup of tea
Bo' Selecta
Dennis Pennis
EuroTrash
Hale and Pace
Men Behaving Badly (ok for first few series)
Father Ted (as above)
One foot in the Grave
Rab C Nesbitt
Red Dwarf
Shooting Stars (gameshow comedy thingie)
Spitting Image (lasted into the 90's didn't it?)
Distraction
The Mark Steel Lectures
The Royle Family

Some brilliant - some didn't raise a smile - but name one of them where the quotes have entered the lexicon like 'I have a cunning plan'.

Red Dwarf 'smegging' maybe.

Dunno if much of it entered the lexicon but some Ali-G was absolute genius.

When he studied the FBI (episode of "Ali-G in America"), he kept referring to it (while talking to one agent) as "the FB".

The agent kept adding... "I".

...sounding like he was saying "yes" in Ali's weak wanna-be gangsta-style "aye".

Nearly gave me a hernia from laughing. (Very very subtle example of his making fun of people without them knowing it.)

I reckon Flight of the Conchords are past half-way to legendary status already.

Oh, so many quotes, so many laughs!

After reading the whole thread and seeing what is popular with modern comedy I say "Bring Back:
McHales Navy;
Gilligan's Island;
The Beverly Hillbillies;
Mash;
Hogan's Heroes;
Open All Hours;
The good Life;
Three's Company;
Robin's Nest;
George and Mildred;
PT109;
The Benny Hill Show;
The Two Ronnies;
F Troop;
And about a dozen other shows that I can picture but can't remember the names of."

A lot of them wouldn't get past the PC police now would they?

[Jantar]

Big Dave, That is just so true.

[PrincessBandit]

I just love Tom and Linda from "Gimme Gimme Gimme". Soooooooooo unPC, and toilet humour I actually laugh out loud at.
Oh, and I did also like "The Thin Blue Line" (Rowan Atkinson).

Agreed.
