What type of comedy do you like?

For me its a toss up between Black or dark comedy and Satire
what about you?

My DVD Aficionado page is telling me I have a heavy bias towards dark comedy.

Urgh, I hate Blackadder.

The formula goes a little something like this: say enough silly things in a sentence = award-winning hilarity!

Sorry, I'm just being meaner than the meanest thing from Mean Town, Meanania.

I'm glad you agree with me.

For actual suggestions of fantastic modern comedy (won't be anything from America then), Nighty Night is AMAZING, probably the best series ever produced. I haven't seen the second series/season, simply because the first was so perfectly formed that I'd hate to taint it. And I know the second wasn't so well-received, which isn't all that surprising given that the first took literally years to write and the second a few months.

Mmeh. I like good ole English humour. Nothing too obvious, or then it comes off as being incredibly tacky.

If it's funny, I like it. I'm not fussed with the name of all the different comedies I like, so we'll just say 'Funny Humour'.

I like Britsh humor and black death humor. And downright dry humor like the stuff in my sig.

Any comedy written by the creator of Four Hookers and Their Mom (credits to Brian Griffin) sounds like garbage. Then again, I loath my own country like a leftist because I like the US better.

Black Comedy and stoneface. I have a rather dry sense of humor, and people tend to take some of my jokes seriously. It's fun. Stupid humor cracks me up as well..

Tough, but British humour/sketch show is probably my favourite. Python, Blackadder, Harry Enfield, Father Ted, Little Britain, Fawlty Towers etc.
Some dark humour too.

Any comedy really... I haven't given much thought to what kind. Just anything I haven't seen already.

Although America's Funniest Home Videos (the new one, not the old one with the guy who thinks every word that comes out of his mouth should be hilarious) is always good for a watch.
