Friday Funny: You Know What’s Really Sad?

Loved Benny Hill as a kid. Wacthed it with my mom. He was really hilarious. Also loved Are you being Served and Keeping up Appearances...great comedies!

I grew up in Germany and I remember my parents watching this show and my sister and I sneaking to watch it from the hall way and getting in trouble.

I loved Benny Hill all the sight gags were HILLARIOUS!!!

Christelyn don't worry. You're at least a year yonger than I am.

Benny Hill got on the PC brigades tits after a while. Anyway I think Mr Bean is still hilarious!

Speaking of British humor, is anyone else here familiar with Lil Miss Jocelyn? Jocelyn Jee Esien's journey is amazing and inspiring. She's the first (and so far, only) Black woman in the world to ever write and host her own sketch comedy show on a major TV network (BBC). Some of her sketches are hit-or-miss, but when she's on-point, she's HILARIOUS!!! I especially love it when she unleashes a character on an unsuspecting person. She got so popular though that everybody started recognizing her on the street lol.

I'm ancient...I can remember watching Abbott and Costello,Laurel and Hardy,Ma and Pa Kettle,and Francis the talking mule and benny Hill..Those was the good ol' days....lol

I love absolutely fabulous. The Office (British version) and Men behaving badly with Martin Clunes.

Check out "An audience with Billy Connolly"... Classic.

I have a boxed set of Benny Hill videos and featured his on my public access show all the time I much prefer his humor to Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) or Monty Python... BH writes sings dances acts he does it all, hilarious- he gives you that "what did I just do??" disarming grin. He always makes me laugh, most def the step-son of Charlie Chaplin.

If you like the 'silent' Mr Bean (Rowan Atkinson), you gotta watch Blackadder sometime. That too is some great English comedy. Benny Hill is one of my all-time favorites, along with the Dave Allen show, On the Buses, The Two Ronnies, Some Mothers Do Have 'em. What an era!

Lol I remember Benny Hill so i guess I'm oldish too...

IMNSHO, A Bit of Fry & Laurie FTW! <3

How about the three stooges? Remember how two of the stooges use to hit the third stooge on the head all the time lol?

@eugeniamitchell, I have BBC America but they show mostly dramas and sci fi. Love Idris Elba in Luther!!!

@DemiB, I agree Benny Hill is harmless

Has anyone ever seen the british comedy Only Fools & Horses? I discovered it on youtube, it's hilarious.

I love the snarkiness of British humor.Absolutely Fabulous and Faulty Towers fit into this category definitely!

They used to play Benny Hill on one of the local tv stations here on the weekends. My mom would sigh and roll her eyes while I would be laughing like crazy. They've changed the schedule and starting playing Dragnet instead, which isn't so bad. Netflix has Benny Hill on Instant now, along with Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Benny Hill is harmless fun. No harm, no foul. Loosen up, fellow Americans!

I love anything Gordon Ramsay or the show, "Come Dine With Me." When I had cable, BBC would be the only channel I'd watch. Gordon is hella sexy.

What was deemed sexist and offensive on Benny Hill decades ago seems positively innocent today. Yes, he had a lot of T & A and slapstick; but in today's age of male genitalia and flatulence humor, Hill comes off as high class.

OMG, this brings back a lot of memories, I remember watching this in the UK. I love british comedies it's too bad they don't show more in the US.

Mr. Bean is crazy LOL

I've never watched Benny Hill. But I LOVE Keeping Up Appearances! And Are You Being Served?

I wonder if there are any Brits embarrassed by Benny Hill the way some Americans were embarrassed by Pauly Shore?

Monty Python FTW!

And then there's Mr. Bean.
