The ones above are great Rafal.

I'm amazed you know about 'the Young Ones' and that you could get this in the States.

"the Young Ones" were my favorite for a while, probably the first "other" British skit comedy after Benny and Python. I was able to catch it on a public access network at one point. A friend whom I have mentioned in the other thread, grew up on a US army base in England in the 80's so he was the one that got me hooked on it.
Eddie is a trip.

I'd say that was a bit of an odd choice for someone of the female gender.

These are kind of 'boys' jokes.

Did you read, understand and appreciate Keith's 'spot the formula' thread?

1. Stoneybridge Olympic Bid video - Absolutely (largely forgotten Scottish sketch show from the 90s - couldn't find a vid)

2. Four Candles (Two Ronnies) Obvious I know, but sheer genius none the less http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OCbvCRkl_4U

3. Mastermind (Two Ronnies) Another obvious one, but anyone who hasn't seen it should http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq8ZnQ95cKk

4. Anything from Paul Merton's early 90's show Paul Merton the Series. Another forgotten classic. I remember one sketch in which he described his SAS survival training "We tracked down and caught a rabbit, so we sent it down the shops to buy some chips"

That one's interesting - tho' I'm not sure if it actually counts as a sketch.

Northern dead-pan humour from Karl Pilkington.

I simply can't imagine a southerner talking in that manner.

I was going to post the Two Ronnies classics but I see Jamie has already done so.

But there's another brilliant sketch of theirs (Crossed Lines):
