Is there something you’ve seen on TV that made you laugh so much that you haven’t forgotten it, even if it’s 20 or more years ago? Post it to give us a laugh, or one of us might be able to find it if you describe it.
This is one of my classics from the Two Ronnies, particularly the second half.

I haven't seen all of Fawlty Towers, so I don't know much about it.
Also, dinnerladies - I've never watched it at all, for some reason.

In The Good Life, Margot arguing with Mr Bailey about the positioning of the windbreak. Hilarious.

Victor Meldrew in keeping up appearances. The sketch where he finds the Yucca plant, planted in the downstairs toilet and the sketch where he finds a Citroen 2CV in his skip! Still makes me smile!

All episodes of Ever Decreasing Circles especially the favourite jam one as I knew someone just like the Richard Brier's character .
Rising Damp - politically incorrect as Rigsby continually mocks his African tenant who is so cultured and educationally superior to him . Rigsby makes a complete idiot of himself in every episode .

Everyone Loves Raymond particularly the interactions with Robert's in laws .
Frasier -many sketches in which Niels lusts after Daphne and when Frasier wears a bonnet and nappy on stage as the bed on which he is "performing "is suddenly elevated so that an audience can see it .
Many Only Fools and Horses episodes and definitely the blown up plastic doll one not to mention the one in which they dress up as Batman and Robin .
The Ballad of Barry and Freda sung by Victoria Wood .
I also loved the character she portrayed when swimming the channel .
Fork handles by Morecombe and Wise and the Previn sketch .Yes Minister is brilliant and I love the one in which Jim Hacker is asked about his favourite performance and he has to pretend to be cultured and can only say Shakespeare .
The Good Life Christmas in which they all wear homemade hats and Margo is distressed to wear one made from a tabloid and when her expensive dress ends up on a scarecrow - that also reminds me of several women that I know .
Keeping Up Appearences and it's mainly Hyacinth's brother in law who never stops making me laugh. My favourite bit has to be our Hyacinth being frightened of the dog and falling into the hedge on on her visits .Again it's particularly funny as I know three Hyacinths .
So many and they've survived for all these years .
