Yes, there is! Yet, there's no more embarassing boss than David Brent of BBC's "The Office". Check out his supa funky dance :)))

Thanks Grażyna.

Anyway, some really sophisticated British humour - 'Le Corbussier et Papin'.

Ricky Gervais is possibly unintentionally funnier here:

Mr Fawlty and the gang, as well as Mrs Bucket in "Keepig up appearances" is what I like about english comedy :)

Thank you. I'd really love to know if any Polish people find 'Le corbussier et Papin' funny, or is it just too crude and simplistic?

I don't suppose 'Pani Ola' would be amused.

This would be my favourite all time British comedy clip from the immortal Spike Milligan.

Like 'Le Corbussier et Papin' it is rather crude.

There is an interesting debate - who was better, Milligan or the Pythons?

Certainly, the Pythons borrowed a lot of material from him.

'The fresh fruit song'.

Spike is regarded by many in the U.K. as 'the greatest'.

His tombstone reads, 'I told you I was ill'.warren whitmore edytował(a) ten post dnia 21.02.08 o godzinie 00:12

Peter Cook, the Anglosphere's funniest man.

http://www.theage.com.au/news/People/Peter-Cook-the-fu...

It's also worth noting that the sketch 'one leg too few' by Peter Cook, has been voted the all-time funniest.

As far as the U.K. is concerned, I would say:

1. Spike Milligan
2. Peter Cook
3. Benny Hill

If we were to include all English speaking countries we would also have to include Laurel and Hardy, (although Stan Laurel was a Brit), Barry Humphries and Mel Brooks.

I definitely would not include Woody Allen on any list of comedy greats.warren whitmore edytował(a) ten post dnia 23.02.08 o godzinie 17:20

Thanks for the pointing to the One Leg Too Few!
It's absolutely perfect, perfect :)

The indirectness is just unbelivable!

Love it :D
