What? - No Bean, Blackadder, Office, Extras, Fools & Horses, Fawlty Towers, Mony Python?
Not much of a list.

You deserve a standing ovation

I am amazed that the late Bill Hicks has not been included. A hugely inspirational and influential figure in standup.
I listen to his routines over and over and they are still just as relevant today as when they were recorded.

What no Fawlty Towers? no Black Adder? No Office? No Tommy Cooper? No Ronnie Barker or Fools and Horses. I would also recommend Thin Blue Line if only for the scene in the riot van where Grimm compares his wife to an insect. Dad's Army? These are things I can watch over and over again and still laugh out loud. As regards Rowan Atkinson, can he be the only person on the planet who can get a laugh with the word "Bob"?

Glad to see Larry Sanders in there. No flipping!
