What are your failsafe go-to comedy moments?

[PrinzessinCressida]

I've got a few things that I know I can always turn to in times of crisis for guaranteed instant good mood and belly laughs:

• Chris Pratt doing the TOWIE accents on Graham Norton.
• Professor Kelly's children walking in on his BBC interview.
• The Derry Girls Catholics vs Protestants blackboard.

What are yours?

Also Sean Lock on Cats does Countdown. There is a scene where he says that he would bring Hitler back from the dead, its dark comedy but its genius.

Jamie Dornan on Graham Norton, especially the pubic hair one and not walking properly.
Acorn Antiques, especially Mrs Overall.

The Rosalind is a nightmare song from one of the taskmaster challenges.

Yes! And the task when Paul Sinha tries to hide in a telephone box.

Oh and Mickey Flanagan having diahorrea

Father Ted when Mrs Doyle gets stuck on the window ledge, and when Ted knocks the dent out of the car.

Vicar of dibley when Harry proposes to her and she makes the Emma Thompson from sense and sensibility noise

I regularly rewatch David's dead and Gino 'if my mother had wheels' if I fancy a good laugh 😂

Billy Connolly

Still Game

Always guaranteed to cheer me up.

If there's anyone from my area here then
One Day Removals, DDs were falling off their chairs with laughter.

Greg Davies stand up is all brilliant but I particularly love the bit about a-ha.

Someone else mentioned it but the Rob and Romesh series on sky is very funny.

Polar bear mascot repeatedly falling on ice when trying to film commercial.

Still Game - the pot of pish! All of Still game really!

My favourite is when they're testing out the peephole in the front door.... "Can you see me noo?"

Endless pooing on peep show

I told DP about this thread and instantly he told me about this video. I just laughed until I almost vomited and had to tell him to turn it off.

The curb your enthusiasm in which Larry has to keep explaining how he injured his back by falling in the loo because Cheryl had left he seat up.

Endless pooing on peep show

Is that normal pooing you’re doing?

Agree with IT Crowd, the gay musical. Also Moss in slacks.

Greta Thunburg being called Sharon on Celebrity Mastermind. The look of confusion on Amanda’s face!

Father Ted lingerie department scene

One Foot in the Grave Victor opening the door to Margaret while a very elderly lady is in their bed

OFAH so many scenes but when Del is about to hand glide and asks Rodney if that’s their car phone Rodney replies we don’t have a car phone

[/quote] OMG - is this genuine? Not a spoof!!?

I’m Alan Partridge - all of it, but I particularly love two scenes that are in the same episode: Alan pitching to the South African exec under a chandelier made of torches and vomiting as he presents to the Dante’s Fires employees.

Peep Show - any scene with Johnson in it, but especially the car park redundancy. Also Super Hans and the Rainbow Rhythms episode.

When Things Fall Over, Spill or Get Knocked Out of Cupboards - spoof of those accident documentaries that were popular in the 90s that was a segment on a Stewart Lee/Richard Herring sketch show. Featured Mark Gatiss as the narrator. Must have watched on YouTube’s dozens of times.

Peter Serafinowicz doing Ringo Remembers.

Stewart Lee - orienteering with Napalm Death, the values of the Carphone Warehouse, Samuel Beckett talent show and many others.

I rewatched gavin & Stacey recently and I laughed out loud more than I have since March 2020
