Not “classic” (yet) but still funny is Saxondale:

“It’s not an AK-47, it’s a Heckler & Koch G36K. The AK-47 being an abbreviation of Avtomat Kalashnikova designed in 1947. Granted it’s an icon of engineering simplicity but for close quarter work not very accurate. Which is why the security services, and in this case Tinky Winky, favour the Heckler & Koch. When you’re trying to put down a moving Tweenie you don’t want to take out an innocent Teletubby with friendly fire, and those guys jump around a lot.”

By far the funniest thing I’ve seen is years is The IT Crowd on Netflix. You’ll need medical attention!

I don’t believe there was ever any mention of autism on this show. Where are you getting this? It’s just a TV show. Jeeze.

If it's just a TV show, why care what I think about it?

Black Adder

Specifically "Black Adder goes Fourth".

Funniest stuff I ever saw in my life, but you have to know something about World War I to get some of the jokes.

Allo!Allo!
set in wartime France with the Underground, Germans who did not like Hitler, and the search for the “Portrait of the Madonna with the big boobies”
