To whoever recomended '15 Storeys High" you are flippin god-sends. I love Sean Locke, and never knew he had his own series!
I'm on the 2nd ep, and have never laugh-out-loud so much in such a long time.
Big ups.

Wrong Music say hello... what about Shitmat?

Also.... Johnny Cash - Boy Named Sue.

This should be a thread. Best comedy music... I reckon there's a surprising amount. Mighty Boosh are SHIT at music, though.

:lol: maybe but I have never worked in a hospital or an office and find green wing and the office hilarious.

I have to say though, the bit with Chris Morris committing suicide is funny and when Matt berry appears at the funeral.

Green Wing and the Office are classics.

I still cant find anything that tops Peep Show. The episode where Jeromy eats the chicks dog. Its the Lolzorz.

Best part of that episode is Marks failed attempt to chat-up some bints in the pub by trying to make a joke about mixing alcohol measurements in metric and imperial will cause an interdenominational hangover. Jeremys subsequent disgusted face is fantastic. Peep Show really is literally the best thing ever written by anyone ever.

FATHEEEEERR!

Matt Berry saved that show. First series was a bit shit, tbh, but it got great after he joined.

Peep Show is fucking amazing.
