You def need to watch entire episodes of Fawlty Towers these shows were beautifully crafted in a manner that gave it layers delicately placed on top of each other making each scene more farcical than the previous. Most other sitcoms built to one big gag at the end but this always felt like it had more substance. You probably won't be able to showcase them on youtube because of copyright but for your own personal enjoyment, I highly recommend there are only 12 episodes so you can easily binge-watch the lot of them on a weekend.

You've got to find the scene where Basil says to Manuel "There is too much butter on those trays" ... epic comedy.

Every episode of Fawlty Towers is comedy gold the best ever, Father Ted is another brilliant comedy 🇬🇧🏴

One of the best comedies ever along with Only fools and Horses, One foot in the Grave and Steptoe and Son.

This particular episode called Communication Problem is one of the funniest things I've seen. The old deaf lady, played by Joan Saunderson is brilliant. It's frustratingly funny.
