Watch "And Now For Something Completely Different..." by Monty Python - it's all the best sketches from the Flying Circus series', but remade to flow in the film.

British stand up comedy is the best (Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey, Eddie Izzard, Jack Dee, Alan Davies, Joe Brand, Phil Jupitus...), but we have some great sitcoms too (Black Books, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Men Behaving Badly, Steptoe And Son, Only Fools And Horses...).

Where we try too hard is the comedy quiz show - they are funny, but there are so many of them (Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Have I Got News For You, 8/10 Cats...) QI is brilliant, though.
