Best Comedy series of the 00s?

[Davros]

The Office, South Park, Peep Show and Inbetweeners for me, and a special mention to Mock The Week.

I haven't watched any comedy since the day we got relegated from the championship in 2007. How other Southend fans think we have anything to laugh about I'll never know- I guess you just don't take it as seriously as me. In fact I have refused to smile, let alone laugh, until we are back in the second-flight where we belong.

No Lead Balloon mentioned anywhere? Definitely made me think Jack Dee was funny again.

I went for Phoenix Nights purely as it falls into that category of comedies you can watch again & again, although honourable mentions for The IT Crowd, Black Books & The Thick Of It for me.

I quite liked Lead Balloon at the time but I think it's basically been disregarded as a BBC rip off of CYEnthusiasm and lost most of it's credibility alas.

Oops, voted for far too many. Was a bit hasty!

THE comedy series of the 00's was without a shadow of a doubt The Office with CYE a very close second behind it. My other vote goes to Arrested Development: Absolute genius and absolutely criminal the stoopid Yank network axed it.

Father Ted was one of THE shows of the 90's however unbelievers!

Curb
Thick of it
Peep Show

Best 3 of the last 10 years.

 

[MK Shrimper]

...and a definite mention for Spaced that bridged the 90's and 00's :)

UK Office 5 - US Office 2

that is an outrage!!!!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Have gone for Thick Of It, Phoenix Nights and South Park.

Three very different, but all brilliantly funny shows. That's quite a strong list when the likes of Peep Show and the Office don't make my top 3. I think Monkey Dust would have had it been one of options.

I'd also like to give honourable mentions to People Like Us and Early Doors for their subtle brilliance.

R is amongst the most menacing of sounds in the English language. That's why they call it Murder, and not Muckduck.

 

[Hazey]

Got to agree with MK and give a mention for Spaced!
From that list I'd go with either The Office (UK) or Inbetweeners.

Yeah it was a bit harsh on Spaced, Partridge and League Of Gentlemen to exclude them but all only had one series each out this decade, and many people would argue that the first series (or in LOG's case first two series) are a bit better as a whole.

I've gone for Peep Show but would have gone for Boosh if it was up there.

Monkey Dust & Early Doors yes!

Also Help, starring now convicted nonce Chris Langham was brilliant.

I'm pretty sure the Really Wild Show's Chris Packham isn't a convicted nonce.

Next you'll be saying Terry Nutkins was fiddling with the animals.


Its Langham

Brilliant!

I loved in the Thick of It Special (the second one) Tucker has a line about scurrilous rumours going round the media about politicians. And he mentions under his breath 'like those one's about Hugh'...

This man knows... (I went for the same 3, as you might well expect)

I'm very grateful to your American wedding for lots of reasons. Mainly the occasion, fun we had and general amount of sightseeing we did over the month, but also because Anthony convinced me to buy series 4 of South Park on DVD. Why did I give up on it after series 2 eh? It is so, so good...

It is, although not consistent enough to break the top 2 - there's always a couple of episodes in each season that don't do much for me. Hardly surprising given how quikcly they churn them out, but nonetheless.
