Well that Titanic submarine joke on Cunk has aged perfectly 😂

[blueboymcmeme]

One of my favorite British comedies has got to be Horrible Histories. It puts a hilarious spin on historical facts

[ChadHammond]

Taskmaster is one of the best series on television in years. I've watched every series! British comedies in general just hit different

[helzbelle]

The fact that Blackadder did not make it onto this is a criminal offence! 😂

[VampreCJ]

Can't believe that The IT Crowd didn't make that list. If you do a part two, then that show needs to make it on there.

[KaraDestare]

We need a part 2, so many shows got missed out.
Blackadder, Porridge, Open All Hours, Not Going Out, Red Dwarf, Faulty Towers, Vicar of Dibley, Black Books, IT Crowd, Morecombe & Wise, The Goodies, Bottom, Young Ones.

[Fidel_L.Bousquet]

The Graham Norton show is the best talk show ever, because Graham gives the guests some alcohol, chills in his seat, and he lets them speak. He explained the secret to get the most embarrasing stories from celebrities: they don't care about the audience, or him, but they always want to be the one with the "best" story on the show and impress the other famous people sititng on the couch.

The Inbetweeners (UK) is one of the funniest comedies in existence. First caught wind of it in high school, sophomore year, i think. Loved it then and still love it now. Never gets old! Cheers to our cousins across the pond for these brilliant series!

[Teeb]

It's no wonder they weren't "getting" the humour, they wouldn't f**king shut up for more than half a second!

[katiestevens]

Problem with using philomena clips with americans is that so many of them don’t actually understand its an act

[finalfaw]

No IT crowd, no Still Game, no Blackadder, No Bottom or the Young Ones, no The Fast Show or Harry Enfield and Chums, disappointed.

[daveecc]

They DID do a US Taskmaster, but it failed miserably, as do many US adaptations (Inbetweeners being a topical example). However, the New Zealand and Australian Taskmaster are excellent too

[ooscardls]

I'm french and I understand every english accent globally. So the fact that Americans are like I need subtiles to understand british accent is crazy for me....

[thatsjustgreat]

I think they need to do a second one. We need The IT Crowd, Are you Being Served, Little Britain, Him and Her, Father Ted, Mrs. Brown's Boys, Black Books, Red Dwarf, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown...so many to choose from!

[dragoneyeg]

Derry Girls are Irish not British, no need to start another war

[creaturion_cosplay]

black books? rowan atkinson? little britain? this needs a second part

[mattesongroner]

Coupling, Fawlty Towers, Absolutely Fabulous, IT Crowd, literally anything Catherine Tate and Rowan

[TheLizzerazu]

Where is Blackadder?? You cant do british comedy without Blackadder!! Come on people!! its Blackadder!!!

[BeardyBaldyBob]

Graham Norton is so good because he genuinely is a host and does his best to make the guests comfortable and have fun and NOT like he is in competition with them to be the "funny centre of attention" like most of the American hosts I've seen.

[AmyEsnocron]

The second I saw this I was like “oh well Fawlty Towers of course”. A shame it wasn’t included— This calls for a part two! 🎉
