I fucking love really funny things. I think it can be man's highest achievement. I am looking for recommendations of comedy - videos, writing, the lot. I would really appreciate anything people can suggest. I like anything by Ricky Gervais/Stephen Merchant, Hitch Hiker's, Red Dwarf, Bill Hicks, anything involving Bill Bailey, Simon Amstell, Alan Partridge, Blackadder etc you get the theme.
This post was inspired by watching this just now, the funniest thing ever made, the Brass Eye Paedophile Special from 2001:
If you aren't from the UK, at the time this came out there was a huge media noise about paedophiles. It turned into an absurd panic. This Brass Eye episode caused outrage on an epic level. Also, some celebrities (hi Gary Lineker) looked very very silly.

Researchers used brain scans to show that when straight men looked at pictures of women in bikinis, areas of the brain that normally light up in anticipation of using tools, like spanners and screwdrivers, were activated.
I remember this, absolute gold. I've been watching some US comedy recently so I doubt this is what you're looking for and they are also pretty obvious suggestions, but anyway 'Curb your enthusiasm' and the US version of 'The Office' are both very very very good.

I agree with The Office, haven't watched Curb Your Enthusiasm. Arrested Development is also an amazing comedy series. 30 Rock is good too but it might be too American for your tastes.
You might of seen all these but i'll list some: Black Books, Mighty Boosh, Garth Marenghis Dark Place, Pyschoville, Man to Man with Dean Learner, Extras, Strangers With Candy, The Fast Show, Big Train, Spaced, Brittas Empire, Knowing Me Knowing You and of course I'm Alan Partridge (I met Coogan when he came here /brag).
US Office is complete bollocks compared to the UK version.
Funktion, seen 3/4 of them I'll look up the other three since those recommendations are sitting in excellent company, thanks muchly. Solid brag btw.
phrenik, I have heard of those a lot, prob time I got round to looking, thanks.
