The only English comedy I've seen is Monty Python and some shows on KLRN. I have to say, they're quite halarious. Any other funny shows I should know about across the pond?

Re: English Comedy
Speaking as a fellow American, I sometimes see Fawlty Towers late at night. That's got John Cleese and his wife in it, and it's pretty funny.

"I'm going to need to collect all of the rants about the guilty lemur, and put them in a pretty box with ponies and pink bows. Then I'm going to sprinkle sparkly magic dust on the box, and kiss it." -Lemur

Mr Bean is a classic that you've got to see.

Eddie Izzard. Best comedian of our time I think.
I doubt you will be able to find it here, but over there I saw a funny stoner comedy that was on late at night called The Mighty Boosh.
Of course, it would be a travesty if you never saw Ali G. "My main maan Paat Boocannon.""Innit a coincidence dat Jesus was born on Chris'mas day?"
innit bruv? One thing I'm glad that I don't have to listen to anymore.

Red Dwarf, if you also like sci-fi.
Re: English Comedy
Bottom is the most funniest british show then Blackadder then probably Brasseye. But bottom on top by a mile
Re: English Comedy
Red. Dwarf.
If anyone thinks this show is rubbish I will personally come round your house, strap you to a chair and make you sit through the whole of Series 1, 2 and 3
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb...

Re: English Comedy
I acctually agree with English Assassin on the subject of Bottom. A few things in it were funny but it was mostly trash. Then again, I like Alan Partridge..
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
