A bit of fun on a wet day - favourite funny TV moments

From "Porridge", so many of Fletch's one-liners & punch lines that I couldn't possibly list them all. Ronnie Barker's delivery was always spot on and he never looked as though he was playing to an audience (one of the great skills which every comedy actor needs).
A few scenes from "Dad's Army" were also memorable. I was in a German train when the conductor was trying to sort out a problem with another tourist's ticket. "Vot iss your name?" he asked. A lone British voice piped up from the back, "Don't tell him, Pike." Much mirth from the rest of us, which confused the conductor no end.

I’m not sure if this is so funny for non Red Dwarf fans, but if you are, it’s a golden moment.

2 soups...

Two soups is brilliant. One of my favourites is Cannon and Ball doing the snooker sketch with the invisible table - a long sketch but hilarious.

I still find myself using catchphrases from these clips but obviously the younger generation don't know the significance.

Julie Walters in sketch serving two soups.
Mrs Brown in toilet a accident with wax.
Too many to mention Frank Spencer in some mothers do have them.

Oh yes Margot Leadbetter. Wonderful.

The Detectorists, brilliant series.

The episode of Frasier where Niles sets the ironing board on fire and cavorts around the room driven by an uncontrollable fire extinguisher. Sorry no link to it.

That’s a great episode, it’s Valentine’s Day and there’s a segment on what goes wrong for each of the main characters.

Father Ted episode where they kick Bishop Brennan up the arse or any Father Ted episodes, always got me laughing so much I would have tears tripping me.

Me too. Especially the episode where a few of his parishioners are outside looking at him through the window and there’s a Hitler style dark moustache smudge on the window which appears to belong on Father Ted, and he waves his arms around.One of them later says to him, ‘ I’m not sure I have time to be a racist Father, what with all the farming’😂
The episode of the caravan holiday is also a classic.

Hyacinth!

Lots of Harry Enfield clips - ‘Women, know your place!’, ‘I saw you coming,’ and the women vs. men TV ads, the grammar Nazi one, among others.

Ditto a couple,of the Boddington’s ads, the ‘Just one Cornetto’ one, ditto the one with the very smart looking couple, where her face cream turns out to be the froth off a glass of Boddies!

Why don’t they make them like that any more? The vast maj. of ads are now so boring or ludicrous.

All available IIRC on YouTube.

"Rising Damp" with Leonard Rossiter as the ùber seedy landlord Rigsby and Frances de la Tour as Miss Jones who was far too refined for grubby Rigsby.
It wouldn't be revived now - almost devoid of political correctness.

Penelope Keith as Margot Leadbetter in The Good Life is one of my favourite comedy characters.

Ronnie Barker and David Jason in Open All Hours was a classic pairing.

Some episodes of Yes Minister. (Some full episodes on U tube)

I love the 2Ronnies sketches , but my favourite funny is Don Estelle and Windsor Davies singing Whispering Grass.

Only Fools and Horses. The blow up dolls episode.

I used to love Fawlty Towers as well. Especially the episode where he hits the car with a branch to punish it. "Im going to give you a damned good threshing".

I used to laugh so much at Monty Python I felt ill. My parents could never see any humour in it. The Ministry of Silly Walks and the Upper Class Twit of the Year Sketch.

I also found the dark humour in Star Wars very funny. Especially the bits where Darth Vader would kill anyone who displeased him. With a friend in the cinema a woman in the row in front said "Christ I wouldnt wanna be in 'is army" and I fell out of my seat laughing. She looked over and said (in broad Liverpool) "Are you all right down there luv?!
