Right.
Seeing as we have many different comedy tastes on this forum I wanted to see the different tastes in one thread. I am going to pick 3 classic British & 1 American comedy and we are all to put our fav scene/sketch in.
1. Fawlty Towers
2. Father Ted
3. Only fools
4. Either Curb/arrested Devel/Scrubs.
Mine
1. F.Towers...The Germans
2. F.Ted.....Writing their Eurovision song entry.
3. OFH. The chandelier
4. Curb. The baby shower
What a good idea!
But I'm too indecisive, or at least I think I am, to choose something like this, but I'll risk it and give it ago.
1. Fawlty Towers - Mrs Richards
2. Father Ted - Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse
3. Only fools - Triggers Broom handle
4. Arrested Devel - Tobias joins the blue man group
1. F.Towers...Hitting the car with a branch
2. F.Ted.....Writing their Eurovision song entry/these cows are small so cows are far away
3. OFH. The chandelier
4. Curb. Has to be th orchestra at the end of the selthloathing jew episode
1. Fawlty Towers - so many - OK - the Germans - "You started it - you invaded Poland"
2. Father Ted - "Kicking Bishop Brennan up the Arse"
3. Only fools - Um the chandelier
4. Either Curb/arrested Devel/Scrubs. - sorry lost here cos I've never seen ANY of these.
David a clip of Curb for you.
I forgot about bishop brennan being kicked up the arse. I also forgot the speed/milkman bit where they say a mass and the funeral. Basically I can't choose I have to have all of them. Oh and the OAP five a side, the Hitler sketch (with dirt on window)... theres too many.
Love Thy Neighbour: When Eddie joins the BNP, the KKK and the Tory Party and puts something quite smelly through his neighbours letterbox - with hilarious consequences.
Anything with the king of farce Brian Rix, when his trousers drop down and he gets his willie out in front of the vicar - with hilarious consequences.
Terry and June: When Terry and June get a laptop and groom kids over the internet - with hilarious consequences.
The Dick Van Dyke Show because it has the word 'dyke' in it.
1. Fawlty Towers - The 'On Those Trays' sketch!
2. Father Ted - The one with all the rabbits appearing all over the place!
3. Only fools - Has to be where Dell fell down at the bar!
4. Either Curb/arrested Devel/Scrubs. - Never seen any of these I'm afraid. 
Fawlty Towers - the scene where Fawlty finds out the man isn't a hotel inspector and is actually something to do with outboard motors. The way he squeaks all his words.
Father Ted - Mrs Doyle falling off the windowsill, and the Hitler mustache on the window. (Anything window based, really...) Ooh, or that moment when Ted goes downstairs in the middle of the night to find her waiting there with a pot of tea in the dark, and we realise she does that all night every night. Actually quite scary.
Only Fools - never really a big fan. Erm... I just generally like it when that bloke says 'Marlene'. I like him.
Curb - the ensemble tourettes scene. Or the 'I may loathe myself but it's not because I'm Jewish' scene (or that entire episode actually) Or, when he's pretending to have OCD to impress a woman. And of course the 'Beloved Aunt' scene.
1. Fawlty Towers
2. Father Ted
3. Only fools
4. Either Curb/arrested Devel/Scrubs.
Fawlty Towers---The episode where the Major innocently uses the word "niggers".
Father Ted---The episode with the jumper-wearing tv star that all the old biddies love but who is actually a prissy, confused asshole.
Only Fools---Don't like the show. Sorry. I recognize its worth to British comedy.
Curb---Ben Stiller's birthday party; when he gets stabbed in the eye by Larry's kebab skewer...and Larry has to do a double good-bye at the insistence of Cheryl.
the funniest sequence in curb:
After telling a kids father his son has a big penis Larrys wife asks why he did it and Larry responds "Meh. I took a chance"
When playing poker a bloke has a good hand and fold Larry calls him a C yoU Next Tuesday and everyone gets offended.
I laughed and laughed

OK Charley. I looked at the Huge Vagina that you posted. And I'm afraid it didn't do anything for me. Not even a titter!!!
You'll have to do better than that to convert me to Curb.
OK David, here's one -

I think that's brilliant.
It's hard when watching clips because their out of context and it helps if you know the characters.

1. the Mini breaks down: "I'm going to give you a damn good thrashing"
2. Working out the Eurovision entry: "We're going to have to lose that sax solo"
3. Trigger: "and if it's a boy, they're going to call it Rodney. After Dave."
4. Curb, the restaurant opening: "F**k you you car wash c**t"
I love that epo of Curb Badge. I cant find a clip of it though. To put on here.
