The Good, the Great and the Ugly

I watched an episode of 'Coupling' last night, Series 2 'Dressed'... And even though I'd only seen it a couple of weeks ealier I still found it hilarious.

So I got to thinking that's maybe that's what makes a good comedy, or in fact a good comedian, when you can watch them over and over again but they still remain amusing?

Ummm... Hence I thought I'd just knock up a quick post and try and list my Top 10 comedians or shows that I think are timeless, ergo fantastic. [In no particular order though, that would just be impossible to do!] .

• Peter Sellers .
• Les Dawson .
• Eric Morecambe .
• Peter Cooke .
• Tommy Cooper .
• Billy Connelly .
• Spike Miligan .
• Monty Python .
• Black Adder .
• Coupling [Well up until 'Caravan Shaker' left in Series 4].
• Red Dwarf .

OK so if I had to pick a favourite it would be the Late Great Spike [Closely pursued by Peter Cooke though]. Umm... Does 'Northern Exposure' Count? Na I didn't think so either. Marginal, but even though it is the best TV program ever aired, as it's not a true comedy I've just got to omit it from the list :-(

But then there's Movies... Oh no I've forgotten Blazing Saddles, Aeroplane, Bill and Ted and almost anything with Robbin Williams in! OK, this list does not included Movies!!! [Did I really say 'Bill and Ted' then!!!]

Feel free to point out any I've missed... [No Benny Hill doesn't count!]

OK and here is my favourite Les Dawson Mother-In-Law joke... :-) 'There was a knock at the door, I new it was the mother in law because all the mice were throwing themselves on the traps.' :-) LOL

OK then, the bestest 'Coupling' quote as a Bonus: Jeff - 'Maybe women are completely different when we're not with them. Maybe they're not cross all the time.' :-) Gotta laugh :-)

The Pub is calling...
