| Best comedy? Apologies to Anzac/Euro comedies etc. (yes, this has a Brit-American bias).

| Cheers. I've just rewatched most seasons - in its original language, before I've only seen all of the series in German a couple of times - and I'd claim its been with me almost all my life since I've been 16 or so (which is 16 years ago...). I don't mean to say that the Pythons or Fawlty Towers is less amusing, nono... But I also don't think that you really _can_ compare sitcoms with comedy shows. Guess I'd choose the Pythons as well, then. Oh, that makes two. We have _two_ favourite comedy shows then. Cheers, the Pythons and Friends. Darn. That makes four.

| Wow. What an odd mix of comedies. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to pick "other": Seinfeld. I suppose it's my New Yorker side, but the show was so cleverly written, sometimes it boggles my mind. The plot, and sub-plot (and sometimes even a third plot) always come together at the very end of the show. Hilarity ensues. Of your choices, I like Monty Python the best. SPAM SPAM SPAM! Thus, the famous name of internet junk mail: Spam. EDIT: Oh yay. Someone added Seinfeld! Thank you.

| Bean is great, because it is one of those comedies that transcends cultural and national borders. Such can't be said for many of the more sophisticated types of comedy, where you need to be aware of the cultural background, in which it is expressed. Not that they aren't funny, but you need to understand where it's coming from before you get the jokes. That's why, I'm voting for Mr. Bean. |

| From those I'd pick Fawlty Towers, my favourite classic comedy series is Only Fools And Horses though.
