Literally just finished re-watching Peep Show yesterday. I'm just a normal functioning member of the human race and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise!
Matt Berry is just a Genius, Toast of London is endlessly quotable, but its the way he delivers the lines, Fire the Nuclear weapons, Yes!! And Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango, leave you crying with laughter, hope we get more adventures with Stephen Toast soon.
Peep Show & Flea Bag are my comfort shows. But I also love Black Books, the IT Crowd, the Office, The Inbetweeners, and Derry Girls. I haven’t seen the others 🇦🇺🦘 another one I watch a lot of is David Walliams and Matt Lucas - Little Britain.
I also like Shameless 2004, Crashing 2016, Ghosts 2019, the Young Ones ( pre-2000 = 1982), Ab Fab ( pre 2000s = 1992), and heaps more! I’m in Australia but grew up watching them all here, and still love UK tv. We also loved /love watching all the UK detective shows. In the 1990s I also loved Queer as Folk, 1999, and so many more…
@@jacquilane5447The minute I read Peep Show and Fleabag are your comfort shows, I knew I would be blindly checking out every other show you mentioned. Those might just be my two favourite comedy shows ever. Sure enough, I also love The IT Crowd, The Office, Crashing, and Derry Girls. Little Britain is hilarious at first but starts to wear slightly thin over the course of its runtime since each character’s ‘trope’ is essentially repeated ad nauseam with the smallest of modifications (which is also why I thought Come Fly With Me was funnier on the whole - check that out if you haven’t seen it). I reckon you’d also enjoy The Thick of It and Extras if you haven’t seen them!
@@raghavvenkatesh8604@raghavvenkatesh8604 I also loved Queer as Folk - with Charlie Hunnan, Flowers, - a dark comedy about some eccentric family members 2016 - 2018, two of them are married in real life. And I love 'The Windsors'. Come Fly With Me was very funny. Thanks.
@@WinsberryEntertainment DG lacks an ending, which makes the ending an anti-climax. We don't know what qualifications they get, if they go to university, what jobs they go on to do or even want to do, and none of them have relationships.
Soooo many you missed! The sitcoms featured probably for a younger audiences, but some of my favourites include The Thin Blue Line Yes Minister Yes Prime Minister Only Fools & Horses Dinner Ladies Spaced Keeping up Appearances The Vicar of Dibley Mr Bean There's also Black Adder (not my cup of tea though) & Dad's Army (a tad before my time), plus lots of other "classics". Ted Lasso?
Seeing your list of classics, just shows me how far comedy has fallen in the UK. Nothing in the list above, could ever top Only Fools, Vicar Of Dibley, Mr Bean and Keeping Up Appearances.
While I'm glad Vicious got an honorable mention, I'd have put it in the Top 10 for the chemistry between Sir Derek Jacobi and Sir Ian McKellen. Such brilliant one-liners and snide little remarks that I still find myself quoting even now.
So 'The Detectorists' and 'Car Share' did not even get an honourable mention, that is just poor. Another great comedy that sadly only got one series was Wasted
How can anybody not like Black Books. One of the best sitcoms ever. And it's no coincidence Matt Berry is on this list several times, the guy is just brilliant at delivering terrible dialogue and lying unconvincingly. He's always watchable. As you said though, Extras was a great show. The one where Val Kilmer rips off Warwick Davis is darkly hilarious and shows Kilmer is actually game enough to laugh at his own image, although the scene where Samuel L Jackson is surrounded by Maggies doll collection is jaw droppingly hilarious and totally unexpected. Kudos to Jackson for going along with the joke and it's probably not something anyone would dare do in these woke times. Surprised Little Britain isn't on here. I know it's controversial and sometimes went a a bit too far but it was full of memorable characters and very funny dialogue.
You seem to have omitted shows that began in the 1990s but continued into this century. Such as Spaced, I'm Alan Partridge, and The Royle Famiy. Or did you not thing those sitcoms were good enough, even for a worthy mention. Other humdinger omissions are People Just Do Nothing and This Country.
@@adamdoyle8001 They did not say "started" in 2000s. What the video actually, and very clearly, says is "the best sitcoms to come out of Britain from the year 2000 and onward". That wording does not limit it to sitcoms which started during that period. Perhaps you have imagined the video clearly saying that it was limited to sitcoms that "STARTED 2000s onwards"
I like most of these shows, but outside of Derry Girls, no female leads. Miranda? Catherine Tate Show? There were a few on here that are ok, but I would put Gavin and Stacey on this list. Not as an honorable mention, and Ghosts. There have been so many great shows this century, I feel like this list is lacking a bit.
So many great british sitcoms missed off this list, where is Ted Lasso? Benidorm? Peter Kay Car Share? Ghosts? Not Going Out s1-5? Extras? Plus Friday Night Dinner definitely deserved more than an honourable mention.
There is one I can't remember what's the title but I saw some episodes when I was a kid, it's about a guy who's in love with his married neighbor and living with his sister and her husband, I'll be so greatful any of you guys know the name of the show
Is Black Books strange on purpose or is it that it's not strange to British people? Vicious is one of my favorite shows. Was W1A popular in the UK? It made my head hurt.
Best British comedy shows: The IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh, Blackadder, Derry Girls, Red Dwarf, Still Game (you will need subtitles because of the accents).
Pretty bad list. Black Books and IT Crowd not up the top (insulting to have it behind the Inbetweeners) and no mention of either Green Wing nor the Detectorists!
Interesting that there’s only one Show on this list that was made in the last 10 years, and most of them seem to be from Channel 4? Have we lost our sense of humour or are must of the UK channels more interested in producing crap reality TV programs and property shows😡

The IT Crowd because of Richard Ayoade completely. I pretty much love everything he has done, even Travelman and Gadgetman!!
His appearances on The Big Fat Quiz are FANTASTIC!
I loved him when he was paired up with Noel Fielding and Greg “Bad Dong” Davies.
@@Trix897 me, too!
Greg Davies in Cuckoo❤

Yes, yet most people haven't heard of it.
And yet, Toast in Tinseltown was terrible. Such a disappointment.
what no Ghosts on this list? it's one of the best comedies we had for a long time I love it
Ghosts never won best scripted comedy. There was always something deemed better around at the time.
Umm... Where's the Boosh?
I really like Noel Fielding. I've mostly seen him on QI

Friday night dinner deserved to be beyond the honorable mentions, at least top 5 surely
He forgot lots of sitcoms on this list like My family, One foot in the grave, and keeping up appearences oh also Mr bean
My family is an underrated classic
How can it be underrated? It had millions of viewers.
Peep Show No.1 👏🏻👏🏻
peep show at number one is incredible, and truly factual.
Peep Show rank 1 is bang on, but the UK Office to be placed 5th behind Derry Girls? That's criminal.
Facts
IT Crowd behind Derry Girls? I like Derry Girls, but it's not very rewatchable. Extras should be in here as well.
@@WinsberryEntertainment DG lacks an ending, which makes the ending an anti-climax. We don't know what qualifications they get, if they go to university, what jobs they go on to do or even want to do, and none of them have relationships.
Ghosts is the best fr. So hilarious yet so heartwarming
Mighty Boosh should get an honorary mention and if they do a before 2000 Black Adder and Young Ones :)
That's a bloody strong list
Office should be 1 but Peep Show is also fair. Office should at minimum be 2
Completely agree.
Where was "Ghosts"?
Soooo many you missed! The sitcoms featured probably for a younger audiences, but some of my favourites include
The Thin Blue Line
Yes Minister
Yes Prime Minister
Only Fools & Horses
Dinner Ladies
Spaced
Keeping up Appearances
The Vicar of Dibley
Mr Bean
There's also Black Adder (not my cup of tea though) & Dad's Army (a tad before my time), plus lots of other "classics".
Ted Lasso?
It's for shows made this this century

Val Kilmer was in life’s too short.That show gervais and merchant made after extras
Also the version with Maggie golliwog has Samuel Jackson. In it but it isn’t Samuel Jackson In that scene.it’s a younger British actor
Boosh deserved a mention. Classic stuff

How could you miss Little Bitain and Come fly with me!!!
Come Fly With Me was crap. Easily the worst thing they've done. Nothing compared to Little Britain and Rock Profile l
Martin Clune!

Little britain isnt a sitcom sketch show
Come fly with me is kind of both
They didn't age so well 😬
Phoenix Nights is set in Farnworth, Bolton... Not Manchester...

Great show and the final season starts in May
Boosh, Snuff Box, That Mitchell and Webb Look.
no not going out, ghosts or miranda
Mighty Boosh and nighty night.
IT Crowd all the way.
Absolutely- a classic.
Blackadder. Specifically series 2, is the ultimate comedy show in my opinion. But I think "Catastrophe" and "Spaced" should have also been mentioned.
Spaced?
Last century. Started in 1999
Thw Mighty Boosh and That Mitchell and Webb Look?
