    Memorable british comedy from the last 3 years?

    Is there any? I'm talking about things that you might buy on DVD and watch a few times, and maybe even annoy people with catchphrases from it (not films though).

    Fonejacker is one that springs to mind, although I'm struggling for any more that will stand the test of time like others have, such as Alan partridge, League of Gentlemen, Brasseye, The Day Today etc.

    Its can be anything funny, from sketch shows to sit coms.

    Best british comedy show?
    I'm guessing you thinking of sitcoms....
    If your not though, i'm really enjoying, mock of the week and Qi.
    Both very funny and well worth watching.

    Still Game but it is Scottish and the translation makes it unprintable.

    Monkey Dust was brilliant, but not heard of very much.
    If you've not seen it Clunk, I suggest a watch, right up your street

    The Thick Of It


    Not sure if there'll be a third series, what with him being a nonce and all.

    Little Britain, also Ideal was pretty good.

    Totally agree with Teachers and Green wing, both excellent shows.

    The first season on Little Britain was good, but it got tiring very quickly. Ideal is very clever and funny, hardly anyone seems to know abou it though.

    Max and Paddy's road to nowhere was pretty funny, but I think I may be alone in thinking that

    Oh yeah, I liked Ideal.

    And Max and Paddy too

    Not worth buying on DVD but I thought Benidorm was good as well.
