My favourites of all time:

Blackadder;

Monty Python;

Benny Hill (usually pilloried for being sexist, but I don't care)

Paul Hogan (see Benny Hill)

Ben Elton doing stand up;

Michael Mcintyre;

I've never heard of the last three, but +1 on the others.


Ok - Paul Hogan - apart from "Crocodile Dundee", "The Paul Hogan Show" was
once of the launch pins of Channel 4 because it was fresh and a bit
"naughty" and they managed to say "******" on evening TV (there was a
hapless stuntman played by Hogan called Leo ******).

Ben Elton is responsible for writing quite a bit of comedy, including some
of the Blackadders and The Young Ones. But he did limited stand up too.

Michael McIntyre is very "now" - very Dave Allen in style but with less
religion - turns everyday happenings into a stream.

I remember watching Crocodile Dundee. Hogan is not the typical Australian,
they are little weeds that love to swear a lot and are not very bright.
Credits to Elton for contributing to Blackadder. I used to like Dave Allen.
