Comedy, Your Top 3?

So while we wait, with an instrumental of “The girl from Ipanema” playing in the background, for the now late, behind time, not finished, to many bugs, beta.

Whats your top 3?

1 Bugs Bunny

2 The Marx Brothers

3 Seinfeld

(For interests sake, I see Seinfeld as a bit of a copy of Bugs Bunny.)

opinions, clips, transcripts, discussion etc welcome.

First a Bugs Bunny cartoon Long Haired Hare, where he battles with an opera singer

and sings

My gal don’t do much talking
Dances even when she’s walking
Oh my gal is a high part stepper
Ginger with salt and pepper
She’s a fancy stepper when she dances
Go and see her as she kippers and prances

I don’t watch much television so I’m not an expert, but I like:

  1. Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace
  2. Mighty Boosh
  3. Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule
  1. Mr. Show
  2. Mr. Show
  3. Mr. Show

Gotta give a mention to Limmy though

he does daft webby/flash things, hard to track down now (often with a musical nod) - this one is a mirror of the missing content as it were…

  1. The IT Crowd - hilarious - the football scenes and the circuit board scene
  2. Phone Shop -If you ever worked in retail it is basically a documentary :slight_smile:
  3. Nathan Barley - Because Geek Pie

I’m a Yank, but watched PhoneShop recently because Tania from Ideal (speaking of comedy, that show was hilarious and was cancelled too soon) was in it. Fucking hilarious, bruv.
I recently learned about Nathan Barley as well. Looks great.

The birthplace of Nathan Barley: GRABWIN - Situs Terpercaya dengan Peluang Maxwin Tinggi Terbaik di Asia! there’s something about him on every page, still very funny! Usually found under the program called c**t.

Something to do with Charie Brooker I think.

Great lists. Got to love a bit of Garth Marenghi and Stewart Lee (He totally slated me when I went for a piss during his show and when I mentioned it to him in the pub afterwards he was cold. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: )

  1. Frankie Boyle (his podcasts with Glenn Wool are pure madness for days)
  2. Paul Foot (Actions speak louder than words)
  3. Eddy Murphy’s impression of James Brown (For Nostalgia)

Curb your enthusiasm

yep - gotta give the top spot to Bill for comedy genius !

^ You’re an astute individual Avantronica :slight_smile:

some of my goto standup sets that im happy to watch over and over, Bill Hicks having already been mentioned. I listen to comedies while i work as a draftperson, so if they get replays it means they have succeeded.

1 - Bill Bailey, tinselworm. lots of music based comedy, and includes the best dueling banjos cover i’ve ever heard.
2 - Aziz Ansari, burried alive. great to watch this after his earlier ones which are also hillarious, but this one definitely has a sense of refined craftsmanship…i think.
3 - Donald Glover, wierdo.

Just been admonished by my girlfriend for not mentioning
