Just wondering if anyone's a fan of British comedy around here? Eg Monty Python, Blackadder, Only Fools and Horses, My Family, The Office, Little Britain, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy etc.

Then there's the Full Monty, another classic. And Ali G. And Mr Bean of course.
Hugh Laurie (aka House MD) also made a good partnership with Stephen Fry, there's plenty of their skits available on Youtube. Dead Ringers is also a good show.

Ricky Gervais (The Office), Rowan Atkinson (classics like Black Adder, Mr. Bean and Thin Blue Line), Sacha Baron Cohen (a.k.a Borat), Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz) and Simon Cowell (LOL)

Black Adder FTW!! this was the best comedy from Rowan Atkinson IMO, not Mr Bean, but trust the USian to prefer slapstick. Also Whose Line Is It Anway, AbFab, Hot Fuzz, and The Office XD
