I’m an American and I really like edgy stuff from the UK. Since I live in the US I’m probably missing out on a lot of stuff. UK anons, please recommend great comedy shows in the same vein as Father Ted, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, etc.

brass eye

>brass eye
Every single time the most minor thing goes wrong in my life...
>THIS IS THE ONE THING WE *DIDN'T* WANT TO HAPPEN
Kek that's the scene I send to people I want to convince to watch it
Mini-series called Garth Marenghi's Dark Place is good. Short too.
>Jam
This except Blue Jam

there is nothing quite like Father Ted. Big Train and Black Books are from the same creator though might feel the most similar
Fast Show
>UK
>Father Ted
>UK
>Father Ted is a sitcom created by Irish writers Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews and produced by British production company Hat Trick Productions for British television channel Channel 4.
Black Books is alright.

>From the anons that brought you, "wait isn't Britain a different island to Scotland?"
>The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
seems pretty cut and dry to me
Made by Hat Trick Productions for Channel 4 filmed in London Studios. Sorry Paddy, RTE loses again.

So influential, you have Cinemaphileanons unwittingly recreating the New Yorker knights 20 years later.
Toe knee blurgh what a ghoul
the bruckheimer parodies are really funny

Peep Show
Garth Marengi's Dark Place
The IT Crowd
Phoenix Nights
Comin in yer ears
Snuff box
the league of gentlemen, psychoville & inside no. 9, only fools and horses
Spaced
I'm Alan Partridge
Groans in American
The Smoking Room is underrated kino
For me it's Brass Eye. The Adam and Joe Show is one I don't see recommend very often.
Never heard of this one before and I thought I'd seen most of our comedy. Thanks for the rec
literally couldn't make this today.
>Can anybody name a famous Chinese person?
>Chairman Mao?
>Fu Manchu?
>No it's all one word, ends in a "K"
>... Definitely a person? Not a wok?
>Er, well, it just says "Chink", 5 letters
it wouldn't be made today because smoking rooms don't exist anymore, not because it offended anyone.
Peep show and Red Dwarf are the only two worth watching on this list.
Bumping with some underrated stuff that tends to get missed in these threads
>Nathan Barley (Chris Morris/Charlie Brooker co-write)
>Whoops Apocalypse (young ones meets Yes, Minister)
>anything involving Armando Iannucci pre-Veep, Time Trumpet is particularly underrated
>15 Storeys High (bleak sitcom with Sean Lock)
I hate gimps who say this about most, but I think nathan barley was really ahead of it's time, the kind of twats in it were obviously around in places like london but the general wanker style and attitudes hadn't spread out widely enough for it to catch on with a big audience, if it came out just a few years later it would have been a lot more popular.
seconding 15 storeys high and anything from iannucci.
Another fallen hero. I have so much respect for this man.
I've been trying to get into Lovejoy, it's kind of an adventure/treasure hunt series with some comedic elements. Caught a few random eps on dailymotion, seems neat.
its very comfy
Keeping up Appearances.
The first four-to-five series of The Brittas Empire might interest you.
One Foot in the Grave
i don't believe it
HABEEB IT
>tfw you will never live the comfy life of a late-20th century British sitcom character who gets involved in farcical situations
incant think of a life more confy than being Mr Bean
Don't forget the Black Adder Christmas special.
The Office
Extras
Greasy american hands typed this. Frick off you twat.
The thin blue line
Britas empire
My hero (joke)
Hanwiener's half hour
Steptoe and son
Rodders you plonka!
>Hanwiener's half hour
I love the radio show of it, it's a shame Tony hated Kenneth Williams so much and got him kicked off the TV show because he's hilarious
Tbf Kenneth Williams seemed like he would be insufferable irl
The Comic Strip Presents
Open all hours
So damn comfy
Still Game
This might be a winner actually, it's really good. Yanks won't have a fricking clue though. Chewin the fat was also good
I think Yanks might actually need subtitles for Still Game lol.
The Office
there are so many funny episodes of Father Ted but this Lovely Horse music video still cracks me up to this very day
gdkdad
For me, it's gigantic housewife milkers.
Taskmaster unironically
That fricking sound, grotesque
> Nighty Night
> A League of Gentlemen
> Mighty Boosh
> Look Around you
Honourary mention to Black Books, Friday Night Dinners and IT Crowd
Harry and Paul

He's not wrong. You can tell americans were recommending that shit.
The only bad thing in that list was IT Crowd
I wouldn't even outright call IT crowd bad tbqh, it's a bit middle of the road but it still has it's moments.
The gay musical episode where Roy has to pretend to be disabled is hilarious.
>"He"
Mass reply homosexuals (you) are always wrong, homosexual.
Subversive 1970s stuff like Q9 or Kenny Everett show. He and Billy connolly plus that Captain kremmen stuff with all the sex innuendos was crazy for the time
?si=uobW9J7zS5X8WG5y
delete bottom middle
Why? Who is that?
Yeah I can't stand that homosexual either. Life's Too Short was fricking hilarious though. Go Midge!
Ricky gayaise.
>Rigsby
Rising Damp is decent but Reggie Perrin is the superior Rossiter kino
If you like edgy dark comedy I would recommend a few
Anything by Chris Morris
Especially:
Jam
Brasseye
Other recommendations:
Monkey Dust
The league of gentlemen
>same vein
Try One Foot in the Grave, The Brittas Empire (stop when the original writers leave), and Goodnight Sweetheart.
The Scotch.
I hated this fricking show, probably because I find Monty python about as funny as being kicked in the bollocks. What a bunch of absolute twats
Clockwise is a film.
Either way it doesn't matter. I can't stand that prick or any of the unfunny shite him and the rest of those posh homosexuals ever did
>mfw nobody watched Flowers
doesn't get the attention it deserves - Jack Dee is a legend
also a mention for No More Jockeys
>mert aksac
>penelope fricking pitstop
no more jockeys was one of the best things to come out of lockdowns
>except they wouldn't be books, they'd be women
>alright boggle
>the entire bathtub episode
I get why they aren't doing them outside of specials now, but it really was incredible
Face like a suicidal paperclip salesman
Nothing wrong with British humour.
There's no sound and I know that woman needs to be smacked hard enough to leave a mark. Imagine letting your empire collapse to the point women feel comfortable speaking like that to a man.
