You've done well, kiddo.
Can't believe nobody has mentioned Only Fools and Horses and the great David Jason

You could just watch some clips of overheard conversations from Philip honestly.

Yeah but British sitcoms are funny.

American sitcoms are written by people who saw something funny 20 years ago and vaguely remember what funny is.

That's the same in UK though, apart from a few gems all the good UK telly is from 10+ years ago. Or maybe i'm just older now and looking through rose tinted glasses? I remember my parents loving things like Porridge and the 2 Ronnies when I was young, I could just never get into it (although the worm that turned sketch was pretty good). It's just a generational thing. I'm sure in another 10 years people will be saying what a masterpiece 2 point 4 children was.

Of course there are some institutions which will be funny forever, like Fawlty Towers, Blackadder and Only Fools and Horses.

Here you go, have a list http://www.comedy.co.uk/guide/tv/top/
