I'd have to say Only Fools and Horses. Continually up there in the best of all time list. Continually failing to ever make me laugh, just doesn't work for me, for whatever reason.
But you know, (Only Fools and) Horses for courses and all that.
And I wouldn't say this next one was massively overrated except for everyone at my school who wouldn't shut up about it, so I'm putting it here just based on that small demographic.
Bottom. I've never found violent slapstick that funny and without that all you have is 2 guys competing to out-do each other in sad disgustingness...no thanks.
And another vote for The Big Bang Theory. Characters like Sheldon Cooper, who the entire show seemingly is based around, just get right on my nerves rather than tickle my funny bone.
It also shows up how unrealistic it is too, as if you had someone like that in real life he would be impossible to work with so wouldn't be holding down his job, however brilliant, and his "quirks" would mean people found it impossible to live with him too.
It's basically a sitcom ridiculing people with Aspergers or other various personal conditions, nice going America.
