So anyway. This chap, Stewart Lee, is my hero (of the stand-up comedy world). Dorian Gray jokes, murrrr.
Where he talks about the funniest moment ever on telly (beginning 7:47 here and continued here), it's… yeah. Don't look at me; I don't like Only Fools.
Oh, and it's quite funny to see him doing what looks like a Lee and Herring routine without Herring (Del Boy, Stew: David Jason!
). Miss Herring, though. He had a wonderfully grating voice and enthusiastic manner, great for the red nose partner.
Funniest moment on British telly evar, though… I honestly would have thought people would vote for Fawlty Towers or something. That one scene in The Germans pretty much says it all. Insanity, xenophobia, talking loudly and clearly to people who have accents (Bau help me, I do that and cannot stop), obsession with past glories, behaving 'simply awfully', and the butt of the joke is the awful Englishman, never the (quite normal and dignified) Germans.
Sadly, we're obsessed with past glories to the point of not making anything that good in decades.
