Best Comedy Sketches?

[Savage Randy]

This is one of the best sketches ever. It's pushing the audience to where it's not funny anymore at all to. OK, now it's funny again. Made better with the description by Bob... "1 out of 10 will hate it the other 2 will like it the other 7 will think it's the best sketch they've seen in there lives."

I only opened this thread to see if “the story of Everest” was the OP, or post it myself if it wasn’t. If only they’d had the balls to include the footage of the crew replacing the thimbles and shelves each time.

Any recommendation is going to be polarizing, no matter what. So I’ll just link to a Jack Handey sketch:

Just look up clips from the Whitest Kids U' Know. They're hilarious, and there are many to choose from.

I'm so happy you opened this thread!! How courageous of you!!

You just linked to a shitty Robert Smigel one off joke that is boring and gay.

My absolute favorite Monty Python sketch is one called "Restaurant Abuse/Cannibalism".

It's pure absurdity. There are so many things happening at once but nothing really gels. It's the closest I think a comedy sketch has ever gotten to portraying a dream.
I'm also particularly fond of the line "This is a vegetarian restaurant only, we serve no animal flesh of any kind. We're not only proud of it, we're smug about it."

 

[There Is Light At The End]

one of my favourites

The negros have the best ones. David Chapelle, and the Boondocks.

Since it's Christmas, a clip from ATHF - Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future

The story of Christmas

 

[The Fair Lady]

Had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard the first time I saw this. It still kills me.

Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life: The Miracle of Birth YT

Mr Show Reboot (w/Bob and David) good cop/ bad cop sketch YT

Upright Citizens Brigade: Ass Pennies YT
Maybe not particularly funny but I have thought about this sketch every day of my life for the past ~18 years. Every time I see a penny I think “this penny has been in my ass.”

A Bit of Fry & Laurie compilation

Chappelle's Show, "Making the Band"

Chappelle's Show, "Playa Haters' Ball"

Patrice O'Neal, "Black Women Get You Refunds", fan-made animation

 

[Aiōn]

Some more Chappelle's Show

Clayton Bigsby, The World's Only Black White Supremacist

R Kelly - (I Want To) Pee on You.
Apparently R Kelly threatened Dave after this aired.

The first 3:23 of this is peak Brittish humour.

 

[Plum Smuggler]

I enjoy most of the I Think You Should Leave content.
Ghost Tour.

Bob Odenkirk is brilliant in this sketch.

 

[Aiōn]

My favorite comedy is black comedy and as far as British humor goes I really like Julia Davis.

Nighty Night (2005)

Hunderby (2012) - Apologies for the shitty quality

Camping (2016) - Lena Dunham also made a version but I prefer this one.

[Hinttitroniikka]

All of The Mitchell and Webb Situation and That Mitchell and Webb Look. Also Bruiser, especially the Poison sketch. It's all on youtube and I'm on my phone.

On the off-chance there's another Chinaswede reading this, Ihmebantu. Just Ihmebantu. But particularly Vemparen.

 

[Otterly]

Definitely some Mitchell and Webb.
Some real gems from them are ‘this is MY LABORATOIRE!’, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tSNsOJ4-VwU
the homeopathic A and E, the one where they go to a vegans for dinner and imply they’ll eat the cat, and the ‘are we the baddies’
Monty python. Frankly all of it.
Victoria wood - the one where she does the step aerobics and the cafe sketch with Julie Walters ( are prawns an aphrodisiac? .. I wouldnt put it past them…) think it’s called ‘self service’ but I can’t find it on YouTube..

Big Train. I’ve never seen this repeated on telly and some (most) of it fell totally flat but some of it was hilarious. This one always made me laugh: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VKH9ECC_Qa4
It’s quite sad there’s nothing funny in telly now. Woke ness is a form of fundamentalism and we all know that fundies hate laughter. (No fun in fundamentalism, ironically.)
Oh and league of gentleman. You’re my wife now Dave.
