Could do with a laugh at the moment, so I'm wondering what are people's favourite funny lines from a sitcom or film? Mine is from Victoria Wood's Dinnerladies : "Tony Blair. Stick two poems up in a bus shelter and call it a university! ". Cracks me up every time

Ross: Don't you worry about me falling asleep, I still have your LETTER!

Ross has the funniest scenes.

When the rock star in the apartment above Frasier won't stop blaring his music: Doesn't he ever stop for sex and drugs!

Not a sitcom but Bet Lynch in Corrie, after someone referred to one of the pub regulars being well-dressed. "Well-dressed? I've seen wounds better dressed than 'im!"

From AbFab:
Eddie : Inside of me there is a thin person just screaming to get out.
Gran : Just the one, dear?

June Whitfield was perfect in the role.

@Ellemeg82 I was going to say the lovely horse. We played it in the car for the children to listen to and they all ended up crying not crying laughing, more make this stop crying.
I love anything from Fr Ted, especially the caravan scene when it falls over.

So much funny stuff here. I love Father Ted, Alan Partridge, Frasier, Fawlty Towers etc.

Here's an old classic from Victoria Wood's character Kitty.

I speak as I find so I said 'what's that terrible smell?' She said 'it's Ma Griffe' so I said, 'well it wants washing'.

Kitty She said she was a radical lesbian feminist. I thought what would the Queen Mum do?
I do miss Victoria Wood. She was a genius

Taking of Frasier, Nile’s is introduced and responds “ah, my brother was already eminent when my eminence was merely imminent”

All of the wedding episode from Outnumbered but particularly towards the end

Dad - “You were specifically told no fighting, no swearing and no drinking alcohol”
Ben - “But I’ve been on my best behaviour all day”
Dad - “Then why were you hitting that boy and saying leave my bloody beer alone?”

"I am therefore leaving immediately for Nepal, where I intend to live as a goat."

and about 50 others from Blackadder!

The Thick of It has so many great lines, I always enjoyed:
"You're so back bench you've fallen off, out by the bins where I put you" 😂

And Peep Show:

"I follow a higher law, the musicians law- if it feels good do it!"

"Oh who's law is that, Gaddafi's law?!" 😂
