What are your top three comedies ever?

After reading the Frasier thread I got to thinking, theres not one comedy on tv that I would go out of my way to watch. Nothing for the past few years really. Im not one for watching things more than once. I just cant do it. I will always make an exception for these three though.

Frasier
Curb your Enthusiasm
Father Ted

and, thats about it really. Im interested in what your favourites are and would you recommend them to me?

Sorry for the spelling. Ive just done five nights and dont know whether Im coming or going. I do know that I need to pop out and get wine before Tescos closes though. Looking forward to some proper laughs tonight when I cant sleep.

Not necessarily in that order!

Hope you enjoyed the wine

Father Ted

Not sure what the third would be. Could do with a laugh though so will keep watching this thread.

Interesting I thought British comedy was boring or too clever these days!

I don't recommend the bottom two on my list unless you are a particular fan of Rik mayall, Ade Edmonson and puerile humour.
