Agree - quite like the Mock the Week crew, inc the pouting Lucy Porter...To the series, I would add Father Ted, Porridge and Outnumbered was fun. As to stand-ups/skits, the indefatigable Dave Allen....
Macintyre is about as funny as watching paint dry....he is also very "shouty"
DTC is right about Father Ted !
Harry Hill always leaves me wondering when to laugh, as it just seems a tad childish to me.
Graham Fellows in his guise as John Shuttleworth leaves me chuckling every time....his new radio show is on tonight at at 19:15, right after The Archers.
Russell Brand and Roy 'Chubby' Brown. The first for not being funny and the second for trying to be 'outrageous'...and not being funny at the same time.
Russell Kane always makes me laugh out loud as does Peter Kay. Another Russell (Howard?) doesn't make me laugh at all! Only Fools and Horses was the BEST in my opinion.
