    I think if I would just go by what made me laugh the most and hardest. Chapelle Show wins.

    Character based shows: Cheers

    I'm a big fan of Adult Swim. Archer, Venture Brothers, ATHF are great if you know the characters.

    Best all time though has to be Seinfeld. Consistently funny and very quotable.

    also big props to all of you for not saying Friends.

    Seinfeld or the Simpsons.

    Father Ted from a British perspective (also love The Thick of It, Blackadder, Peep Show and Spaced).

    Father Ted is unbelievably funny... Dougal might be one of the most unintentionally funny charcaters in TV history. Father Jack is a classic and Ted is priceless. I still think my favorite episode is when they get stuck in the caravan with Graham Norton.

    Definitely a classic show. Hard to pick one fav episode but I like the one where they give up smoking, drinking and roller blading for lent. Or the one with the milk man "Ted, you forgot your brick!"

    Kills me every time.


    Also someone else mentioned it: Archer. That show is so freaking funny. Love it. I've started watching Adventure Time as well. It's very, very weird but some legit laughs in there for sure.

    Fawlty Towers has to be up there.

    I don't know where 'Allo 'Allo! falls by reviewers/critics but it's a personal favorite of mine
