Favorite sketch show of all time.

[peruban]

Which one had you in the most stitches? (Edited to include ones I forgot.)

[MrCoffee]

1. KITH

[jpgray]

32. "These are the Daves I know I know..."

[mcctatas]

2. you forgot to add...

Benny Hill (although I never thought it was that funny) :hi:

[peruban]

3. Oh, yeah, I did forget that one. n/m

[Dr. Strange]

6. I salute you.

[FloridaJudy]

4. Albatross!!!

[redqueen]

5. What was that show with Michael Richards as this crazy kid

who played with his army toys in a weird way?

And a cook who made everything with ganja?

It wasn't my favorite, but for some reason it just popped into my head and I can't remember the name. Fridays, maybe?

Anyway... I can't choose between Monty Python and Kids in the Hall.

[Bertha Venation]

10. "Fridays."

On ABC. "Take a pill!!" (the mad pharmacist)

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. *gobbles down a bottle of anything*

*spits it back out*



*looks at label*



"Pregnancy test?!?"



:rofl:



(That was Mark Blankfield, who also did...

30. This one....LOL

From around 1980?

[redqueen]

36. Yup, that's it.

:)

[dropkickpa]

7. What about Mr. Show???????

I loved the fuck outta that!

[Symarip]

26. Pallies

Best. Sketch. Ever.

[Bertha Venation]

8. Are you kidding? NO Carol Burnett?

The Carol Burnett Show! I don't care that it was called a variety show - at its core was sketch comedy, and much of it still stands as the best ever.

Example: "I saw it in the window and I just couldn't resist." :rofl:

My own runner up would be the Not Ready for Primetime Players.

[Forkboy]

14. One of the best shows ever.

She's criminally underrated as a comedian. But the whole cast was great on her show.

[Catchawave]

33. Here's a classic....Korman and Conway

[HERVEPA]

9. Uh, how about Carol Burnett (Sorry Bertha, we posted at the same time)

[Orsino]

13. I had to give the nod to Carol & Co., too.

That was fun for the whole family.

[Bertha Venation]

20. that's okay - I couldn't agree with you more

;)

[Tom Kitten]

11. SCTV

nt

[JohnnieGordon]

19. Another vote for SCTV

Actually voted for SNL for some reason thinking it said SCTV. I was assuming surely SCTV would be listed, but it wasn't.

2nd place would be a tie between Mr. Show and MadTV during it's heyday, which I say was '99-'03. The original cast of SNL and the Phil Hartman era were also pretty good.

[Forkboy]

12. A Bit of Fry and Laurie

With special mention to French and Saunders and The Upright Citizens Brigade.

[peruban]

16. Ah, another one I forgot.

The Upright Citizens Brigade.

[TroglodyteScholar]

35. Yep, Upright Citizens Brigade

The BEST sketch comedy since Monty Python...

And cancelled for...........fighting robots?! Pheh.

Bonus link: Ass Pennies

[Reverend_Smitty]

22. They are some of my favs too

I have all 4 seasons of "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" on DVD as well as just about every season of French and Saunders tucked away on an external HD.

Ever see "That Mitchell and Webb Look"? I find their style of "humour" to be very similar to Fry and Laurie

I also think Armstrong and Miller are very underrated as well the Chav WWII pilot sketches are brilliant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ9yj_BXRp0...Oh and I can't forget about The Fast Show, that was great too. I'm a bit of a sketch comedy dork

[Forkboy]

23. Someone turned me on to Armstrong and Miller last year.

I like the clips I've seen a lot.

I haven't seen "That Mitchell and Webb Look?", but I will now that you compare them to Fry and Laurie. Thanks for the heads up. It's always cool to discover new comedy. :hi:

[Reverend_Smitty]

25. I love Mitchell and Webb's Numberwang sketches...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjOZtWZ56lc

German officer sketch is quality as well

Ohhh Ohhh and Sir Digby Chicken Caesar is funny stuff too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QACSo5xk3dE

[Danger Mouse]

15. I vote for Kids in the Hall.

[Mojambo]

17. This is a battle for second place behind Monty Python.

Mr Show gets my vote for second place.

[Iggo]

18. Monty Python's the best, but...

...my favorite is SCTV.

They warped my mind in a very special way.

[peruban]

21. Others I forgot:

The Tracey Ullman Show
The Ben Stiller Show
The Larry Sanders Show

[peruban]

27. shameless self-kick

[Initech]

28. Definitely gotta go with Mr. Show.

Chappelle's Show and KITH both kick major amounts of ass though.

Although I notice that Upright Citizens' Brigade is noticeably absent from this list.

[vard28]

29. I'm a crazed Circus fan

But I loved Carol Burnett's show also.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

31. Kids In the Hall

was the best - and I am a fan of Monty Python. I love them both --- but I really laugh harder during Kids in the Hall.

[bbernardini]

34. A few others: Man Stroke Woman, Big Train

Big Train ran in 1998 and 2002. Written by the guys that wrote "Father Ted" (although one of them wasn't involved in the second series). Featured Simon Pegg.

Man Stroke Woman ran in 2006-2007 (there might be more on the way, I'm not sure). Featured Nick Frost.

[enigmatic]

37. Dave Allen At Large

[Deja Q]

38. Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In

Followed by In Living Color.
