What is the funniest show of all time?

Im sorry if there has been something like this before but I want to see what all of you guys think of all of these funny shows and if there is a funniest show so I want you to tell me what you think the funniest show is

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You mean television show?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

crap i ment to make a poll but ya

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

A poll? For something this wide-reaching?

Marx Brothers win. Instantly now and forever. I'll lot them into this even if you don't see their cinema series & Vaudeville performances as such.

Are you on fucking drugs?


I am sure if he somehow rephrased the topic a bit and put up a poll that this thread could become something. Maybe tell us what shows you like bradtheman?
I also see your new here. Welcome

I was speaking idiomatically.

Quite a few spring to mind but the two which stand out for me most are Blackadder and Father Ted, to put it bluntly I simply could not stop laughing.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I second Scrubs, possibly even my favorite TV show, maybe. It's so addictive to watch too. Often during school, I would watch an episode on my computer, and end up watching the rest of the episodes until the end of that particular season, no matter how many times I've done it. Love it. Family Guy if, of course, awesome too. But for funniest show of all-time, I can't say. I'm only familiar with shows of "this time."

Most amazing jew boots

I know it's not the most popular show, but I'm gonna go with Titus. I've never laughed out loud so much (watching it by myself, no less) while watching any other show (though Chappelle's Show came kinda close). I watched it on TV back when it first came on, yet I managed to enjoy it even more when I watched it on DVD. Hands down, if I could only watch one comedy for the rest of my life, it would be this one.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Didn't you already make a thread? Whatever. This is all subjective anyway. In my opinion, I enjoy Family Guy, but it really depends on how much TV you watch. In my case, very little. But from what I have seen of Family Guy (and my friend's DVDs) it's funny.

I think jackass would probably be on my top ten list also south park, mind of mencia, family guy, simsions, cheppelle show, ect...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Obviously, the first thing that comes to mind is "Chuckles Bites The Dust" from Mary Tyer Moore. From Answers.com

Chuckles Bites The Dust" (October 25, 1975) The ludicrous death of WJM's Chuckles the Clown, crushed by an elephant while dressed as Peter Peanut, provokes a torrent of black humor which has everyone in the newsroom but Mary convulsed in laughter. Mary's suppressed laughter comes out at an inopportune moment: at Chuckles' funeral. This episode was ranked #1 on TV Guide's The Greatest Episodes of All Time.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Of english speaking shows, which people are most likely to have heard of, my favourites are "Blackadder", "Monty Python", "Fry and Laurie", "Mr. Show" and the first season of "I'm Alan Partridge". But which one's the funniest...nah, can't choose.

Pardon me, but why is it that nearly all new members begin their first threads with "I'm sorry if there has been something like this before but..."?

You could try searching. We have a nifty toolbar with a big ol' Search option right on it. You can look for existing threads all night!

In the future, please don't plop down any old thread you can and proceed to apologize for any potential duplication issues just because you don't feel like doing a little research beforehand.

Also, for the love of GOD, use punctuation!

The episode of Taxi where Latka takes speed is by far the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. It may have been cocaine, actually, but in any case, it was a type of drug that made him hyperactive, and I nearly died laughing.

It's hard to quantify humour, usually, but that episode really stands out. Taxi has always been a favourite series of mine, and I don't think they did a better episode than that. I'd also nominate several M*A*S*H episodes for an honourable mention. That show could be either bland, or brilliant, but some episodes really stick out. Usually anything with Colonel Flag in it, but my favourite is the one where they had to acquire a new incubator.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I have to admit Soluzar, M*A*S*H is damn funny with Colonel Flag... I blame you if that's what I'm watching tomorrow...

As for sheer hilarity, I think Father Ted is completely side-splitting; I don't think I'll ever forget the episode "Night of the Nearly Dead" as long as I live.

Just for honourable mention because they are that brilliant - Black Books is also genius IMO, as are Spaced and The Mighty Boosh (Nanageddon comes to mind as I type). Faulty Towers has never failed to make me laugh, and the same applies to Frasier (I think my favourite episode so far would have to be the one where they employ the plumbers who used to be their bullies). I think I actually prefer Futurama to the Simpsons, which I suppose is quite an odd thing... Also, who could ever forget Red Dwarf? Incredible show, just incredible.

FELIPE NO

i'm all for hogan's heroes or possibly one of the newer shows that are out-the name escapes me at the moment. All i remember was the episode where a guy died in their bar and they didn't know what to do about the booth he died in, so they just hosed it out. Also the one with the jewish guy owning half of their bar and they make a fake jihad video to get him out.

How ya doing, buddy?

Arrested Development.

Hands-down, the funniest sitcom ever created. Never a bad episode. So many constant clever jokes, incredibly distinct characters (G.O.B. and Tobias are probably two of my all-time favorite television characters), and enough room for some real emotional development. The running gags that pop up constantly reward the hardcore crowd, while narration and flashbacks help bring newbies up to speed.

I think after that comes Seinfeld, then everything else is a distant third.

I have. It's pretty funny. Still can't approach AD or Seinfeld.

AD is the shit, although I have yet to see season 3. Does anybody know if Showtime or another network picked them up?

Another show that I'd consider to be among the funniest:

The Adventures of Pete and Pete: This one might be up there primarily for nostalgic reasons, but I still find it extremely funny. "I... am... a... NIGHTCRAWLER!!!!!"

I suppose theres no accounting for taste

I have to agree with LeHah. Arrested Development, though it could be very funny, had nothing on Fawlty Towers. That show was masterful.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'd have to say the show that gets the most laughs consistantly out of me is Fawlty Towers, even after seeing each episode several times.

If we're talking show's currently on the air, i'd have to say Odd Job Jack is pretty hilarious. Anybody outside of Canada won't know it, i'm pretty sure. It's a Canadian creation featuring the misadventures of Jack Ryder, a man who does every job in the country at least once, and the hilarity therein. It's quite good, i suggest you all give it a dl.

Who's Line Is It Anyway still makes me laugh out loud regularily. There are some episodes i will never forget, i.e.e the opera episode when Wayne and Jeff sang a rehersed sounding opera peice. It was quite something else.

FELIPE NO

I'd say Whose Line Is It, Anyway? is the show that consistently makes me laugh. The funniest episode of it, EVER, was the one featuring Richard Simmons. If you haven't seen it, go find it somewhere (I don't know if it's on YouTube or Google Video, or anything like that). You will Laugh Your Ass Off.

Haha, that was a good one. Drew just can't stop laughing!
I think I second this vote!
