Looking for a really funny show. Suggestions?

Oh my goodness, I just saw Blackadder 1 ... I don't think that Blackadder 2 will actually be a continuation, will it? They just kept the names and the actor, and made a whole new show that has nothing to do with the first, didn't they? Oh well, anyway I quite liked the first series, especially the Queen, even if she had a little part. Will see the second series soon.
It's a sort of history of the Blackadder family. The next series (series 2) he is a courtier to Queen Elizabeth 1. Series 3 he is the manservant of the Prince Regent at the time of King George 3 (the mad one 
) and series 4 he is an officer during WW1.
Baldrick is a lot more intelligent in series 1. He goes rapidly downhill after that.

I run a newspaper shop or however it's called in English, which means that from 7.30 am to 6.40pm if I have to take the bus, or 7.30 pm if my bf drives me home, I'm stuck in this shop by myself.
I'm not on the internet all day, I just download what I want to see, then watch it when I have time (and it takes some time because from time to time I get interrupted, unfortunately not as often as I'd hope) and then delete the whole thing 'cause it takes a lot of space.
and I live in the dullest place on earth, and I live in Italy, and blablabla a lot of boring stuff you don't want to know, I need something to distract me!!
Any other suggestions will be appreciated and go on my list, since it looks like I'll be here for quite some time
HOW can anywhere in Italy be boriing?????
It seems you are enjoying Black Adder... it only gets better and better.
Black Books IS good too. Ohhhhhhhh so many great shows! I am trying to gauge what humour you like.... me? I love all sorts at different times so its hard to come up with a suggestion.... and you KNOW what its like... you see a GREAT show on TV and tell EVERYONE how great it is and they see the only UNfunny episode ever put to air and they go.... hmmmm. And some of my suggestions are Australian and I am never sure how they translate overseas.... (Kath and Kim, Summer Heights High, We Can Be Heroes)
If a whole episode of anything is hard try little skits on youtube.
Sometimes I watch a link to a comedy sketch recommended on here and end up spending hours watching OTHER skits by the same comedian on youtube.... and that way you can bounce around for ages without having to watch a whole show.
So try "Tommy Cooper"... he's always good for a quick laugh... any of the "Monty Python" skits..... Just pick a comedian you like and hit youtube.

How about Father Ted? That's available on YouTube.
Okay, so, where do I begin?
The League of Gentlemen and Bottom may not be safe for you to download at work. However, if you can get them at home, you might like them. People have already recommended Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, Black Books, and Blackadder. I'll add The Young Ones and The Big Bang Theory to that list.

oh good, I have the second series with italian subtitles too, which is good 'cause if in the first season I had problems understanding Rowan Atkinson, I saw from the titles that there's Stephen Fry in this one, and I have problems with him too..
I do that too, I just need a few points of start, like those who you all just gave me, and there I start, and when I find someone I like there I go with my own search.
I can't watch Kath and Kim because are two names and if I write names on youtube I just get a lot of videos of little girls or something like that.
We Can Be Heroes... is it the one I found with Chris Lilley playing all the roles in a fake competition? If it is, I have to say it is about one of the strangest thing I've ever seen how can he play an arrogant man, a hot girl, a weird housewife... I've seen two episodes of that, is it long?

Chris Lilley is amazing. He plays everything from teen girls to middle aged housewifes, to a Chinese physic student being an aborigine on stage
The series "we can be heros" is a send up of the national yearly "Australian of the Year" awards we have here. Someone gets nominated then the commitee investigates WHY they should be Australian of the year in quite a few catagories. Its six episodes. Its a limited series as are all of Chris Lilley's.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Can_Be_ ... f_the_Year
Kath & Kim is about a mother and daughter in suburban Australia. (Thrown in are Kaths husband Kel, Kim husband (ex) Brett, and Kim's best friend basketball player Sharon) Some of their catchphrases are ingrained in our vocabulary. (Noiiiiice. Its different, its unusual.... yeah. Look at moi... look at moi!) International artists all fought to get an invite to appear on the show (Michael Buble, Kylie Minogue).
Don't watch the American version. It was rubbish and was stopped thankfully a few episodes in.

Oh .... and French and Saunders Thats a MUST!
We did this sketch way way back in a comedy show.... so I knew the routine..... I actually gave this talk to my daughter when she was a teen (its okay... she HAS a sense of humour).
I was reminded of this one on the weekend when I heard noises coming from my bedroom when I had the now 24yr old over for the oil riggers UNbirthday. I walked into my room and found the daughter with one of my hardback DW books!!!!! BASHING AND BASHING AND BASHING it on the bedroom floor ... when the oil rigger and her boyfriend came up to see what was going on she looked up and said,, "Just making sure Mum doesn't get pregnant! Always practise safe sex she told me!"
