Mostly British Classics, can't really get away with modern ones. Couldn't get into American ones either but I thought Night Court from the 80s was hilarious

Have you seen Peep Show and The Thick of It?, If so, would you recommend?

love peep show

Our local PBS station had some hysterical Brit-Coms (I think from the 1970's) Are You Being Served and Keeping Up Appearances.

Are you being Served, not one of my favourite but definitely a classic. Keeping up appearances was from the 90s, another classic.

"Mrs Bucket?"

"It's bouquet!"

@Fishandchips Who wouldn't love (as the minister calls her) "The Bucket Woman", Rose, Onslow and especially the unseen Sheridan?

I would have thought you would have liked AYBS, especially Mr. Humphries and Mrs. Slocum. Would you allow Mr. Humphries to take your inside leg?

I tend to go through phases on AYBS it's a hit or miss for me.

Has anyone watched sitcoms from tiktok?? Look I keep getting clips and they're fun to watch like young Sheldon and all. But on Netflix I really love watching sam & cat or victorious, I rlly wish I get to watch all of them tho, on Netflix it's only season 1. I mainly watched it because of Ariana Grande and yeah.

the problem with that (aside from the annoying editing) is that the jokes don't always cross-medium well. you get a setup and punchline but you don't always get the entire context and the entire setup. maybe the setup for the joke was setup 3 scenes ago or 3 minutes ago or in the case of a syndicated show before the last commercial break so you don't get the full impact of the joke

TikTok may only show Sheldon wearing a funny suit saying funny things, which is fine...but the setup about the funny suit is MIA
