By far...
Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer (their own series - take your pick) The League of Gentlemen
Laugh?... I almost ate my own teeth.
I almost forgot : some of Huntsy's posts
("Like I said, Buster will be posting today" - a pure classic).
Alan Partridge - some brilliant moments Trigger Happy - likewise Some of the Pop Idol auditions. I saw a clip from the video yesterday of some bloke doing a rap and then attempting to breakdance only to fuck it up. I was almost crying
SB Snake can you tell me with confidence when fat Henry will be appearing on the icon show of shows?.. I mean, come on... I might need a special harness to keep me from rolling on the ceiling and dribbling down my smalls.
By the way, Huntsy, haven't had much time to listen to your record until now but, from what I've heard, I can say I'm very happy to have it in my collection...

i think its almost certainly next Saturday. the crap Sun Tv guide said it was the weekend just gone but they were obviously lying. I think the fat blokes going head to head with that Darius fella.
BTW Huntsy, Pete Waterman lives not 2 mins walk from my house. Jealous?

Thanks Booster... that's nice to hear. Whenever you feel like an extra boost of 'off-new order' you can always reach for the stars and bring down a pinch of magic for your stereogram. I guess we've all been busy lately, this place is turning into a scene from Zombie Dawn of the Graveyard Dwellers starring Vincent Price-list as Fanny Cock Raider.

Father Ted - too bad it ended up so early.
Monty Python, Kids in The Hall, non-crappy SNL (Belushi, Hartman, et etc), Rushmore, The Graduate, Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network, and that cyst on my back
The old British classic 'Only Fools And Horses', especially the episode when Del & Raquel's baby is born, a classic and no mistake!

Vic and Bob makes me cry of laughter every time I see them. they're just TOO sick to be true.
Some of the characters from The Fast Show are also hysterically funny.
Trigger happy tv is great too...
I know there's lots of more stuff, but I can't remember it right now.. I like the Python's The Holy Grail (that's their funniest film)
And I almost forgot! THE BIG LEBOWSKI best 'comedy' movie EVER, som many laughs, and so many one-liners.. it was the movie that made me discover the drink White Russian..
The Young Ones, Blackadder, Only Fools & Horses, Bottom, The Fast Show, Alan Partridge, Monty Python, Billy Connolly, Bob Monkhouse, Sean Hughes, Rich Hall, They Think it's all over, Have I got news for you, Ed Byrne, Richard Prior, Fawlty Towers, Frasier, Friends, Father Ted, Rab C Nesbitt, Harry Enfield, Ben Elton, Red Dwarf, Eddie Izzard, Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Who's line is it, Steve Coogan, Vic & Bob, Whoopi Goldberg........
Top faves are Vic and Bob (especially The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer.... "Can you smell onions?"

Always watch loadsa other comedy stuff, and go to see comedians quite regularly.... i lurve larfing...
Liv
I remember laughing a lot to some episodes of FAWLTY TOWERS...most of YOUNG ONES.. ....most of early SOUTH PARK ( SERIES 1 & 2 ) ....movies like FISH CALLED WANDA ...and BARNEY's stupid lyrics.
"The Late Show" & "Fast Forward" that is all i have to say on the matter
nb, i don't mean the crappy letterman late show
Dumb & Dumber Shallow Hal Richard Pryor Howie Mandel Just Shoot Me Will & Grace Friends
And this joke " What does a snail say while riding on a turtles back?" " Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" ( While saying hte punch line throw your hands back like your riding a roller coaster) 
Animal House Saturday Night Live(til about 79) Monty Python movies Young Ones Mystery Science Theater 3000, especially the short features before the movie where old 50's etiquette films are mocked excessively (What To Do On A Date, Posture Pals, etc) and for the song "Let's Have A Patrick Swayze Christmas". The Simpsons, of course Seinfeld My Favorite Year and a special mention for the first episode of On The Air, which was a series by David Lynch on ABC that aired 3 episodes before the plug was pulled. It concerned the goings on of a live 50's TV show and the eccentric cast of characters (eccentric; what else would one expect from Lynch?). Definitely the law of diminishing returns applied here, for while the first one was funny, the characters and storyline quickly wore thin.
See-Ye Tan has taken the words right out of my mouth:
A Fish Called Wanda!!!!!! That one's a classic. Each, word, each sentence, its sooooooo f#$king brilliant!!
Monty Python Fawlty Towers South Park (yep also) Young Ones Blackadder well, all English humour!
and also: films with Stallone, from the first word he says I'll keep on laughing almost till I faint. ("Sometimes nature's smarter than people think" he says with his funny mouth!!)

The last Axl Rose autobiography.
Fuckin hilarious - shuold make it into a film!!
Monty Python, esp. the life of Brian.I really like the part in the stadium, discussing the name of their pol. group: Judeans peoplefront or whatever.
Like Dutch Jim says : British humour(as it is called overhere)i.o.w. absurd/dry humour is absolutely my fav.
can't think of any american...oh yeah, how could i forget,the unforgettable Beavis and Butthead. "he said weener"
Watching politicians "talk" on tv is also very funny
Ah, MST3K, how could I forget thee? Hands down the best thing Sci Fi (and Comedy Central, for that matter) ever had.
