Only those 6 things? 

You poor deprived soul! 

Even as a kid I enjoyed most of those but also Billy Connolly, Barry Humphries, Spike Milligan, Monty Python, Victoria Wood, Porridge, Soap, Agony, probably dozens more tbh and that's grown much more as I've got older. 

I suspect I watch more comedy than many on here who are more attuned musically. 

Ah I forgot about porridge and Morecambe & wise . Bits of Monty python are brilliant but mostly shite. Life of Brian was brilliant and the live show at the Hollywood bowl was really good.

Morecambe and Wise Christmas Specials never quite as good as you remember, but a hits compilation from them all is possibly unmatched sketch show comedy.

All over that if holograms weren't so darn terrifying.

Holy Grail is silly British comedy at its peak, give or take a few dated elements.

BTW I can't pretend I watched that much of it, but Red Dwarf was 35 yesterday. 

Seems a good time for another binge watch - been a while since I’ve watched it! 
I never got around to watching the new ones - anyone know if they were any good? Think I avoided them for fear of them being awful.

I actually prefer it to The Life of Brian, although both are great.

[The Nal]

Lots of the Python TV show sketches were shite tbf

My favourite must be the deadliest joke bit. The chamberlain part kills me every time.

Silly walks, arguments, Spanish inquisition, upper class twit of the year and spam were all great too.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Also two sheds and the news report about people turning into mice.

Holy Grail over Life of Brian, every day of the week for me.

If Glastonbury had ever considered a full blown comedy headliner atop one of the major stages, that Python reunion a decade or so ago would have been a serious contender. Universal silliness.

Now, get Bill Bailey atop the Park Stage.

Headlining? No chance. But playing there in general, absolutely.

They’ve got a gap in their European festival schedule and weren’t they due to headline Other in 2020?

[Crazyfool01]

Psst...Just to be more obvious... this year's 'legend slot' will see a similar pattern to 2017 (Barry Gibb/Chic)... #Blondie into #CatStevens! #Glastonbury #Glastonbury2023 #Glasto

Neither are out of the question at all.  Defo a lot of those Other header/pyramid subs about
