The IT Crowd because of Richard Ayoade completely. I pretty much love everything he has done, even Travelman and Gadgetman!!

Matt Berry is just a Genius, Toast of London is endlessly quotable, but its the way he delivers the lines, Fire the Nuclear weapons, Yes!! And Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango, leave you crying with laughter, hope we get more adventures with Stephen Toast soon.

[@ellie9311]

what no Ghosts on this list? it's one of the best comedies we had for a long time I love it

[@dandelves]

Ghosts never won best scripted comedy. There was always something deemed better around at the time.

[@jacquilane5447]

Peep Show & Flea Bag are my comfort shows. But I also love Black Books, the IT Crowd, the Office, The Inbetweeners, and Derry Girls. I haven’t seen the others 🇦🇺🦘 another one I watch a lot of is David Walliams and Matt Lucas - Little Britain.

[@jacquilane5447]

I also like Shameless 2004, Crashing 2016, Ghosts 2019, the Young Ones ( pre-2000 = 1982), Ab Fab ( pre 2000s = 1992), and heaps more! I’m in Australia but grew up watching them all here, and still love UK tv. We also loved /love watching all the UK detective shows. In the 1990s I also loved Queer as Folk, 1999, and so many more…

[@davidz3879]

What comforting about Fleabaag?

[@raghavvenkatesh8604]

@@jacquilane5447The minute I read Peep Show and Fleabag are your comfort shows, I knew I would be blindly checking out every other show you mentioned. Those might just be my two favourite comedy shows ever. Sure enough, I also love The IT Crowd, The Office, Crashing, and Derry Girls. Little Britain is hilarious at first but starts to wear slightly thin over the course of its runtime since each character’s ‘trope’ is essentially repeated ad nauseam with the smallest of modifications (which is also why I thought Come Fly With Me was funnier on the whole - check that out if you haven’t seen it). I reckon you’d also enjoy The Thick of It and Extras if you haven’t seen them!

[@jacquilane5447]

@@raghavvenkatesh8604@raghavvenkatesh8604 I also loved Queer as Folk - with Charlie Hunnan, Flowers, - a dark comedy about some eccentric family members 2016 - 2018, two of them are married in real life. And I love 'The Windsors'. Come Fly With Me was very funny. Thanks.

Friday night dinner deserved to be beyond the honorable mentions, at least top 5 surely

Peep Show No.1 👏🏻👏🏻

[@7amart177]

My family is an underrated classic

[@davidz3879]

How can it be underrated? It had millions of viewers.

[@franklingoodwin]

Love Toast of London. Yes I can hear you, Clem Fandango

[@lianetallo4866]

Ghosts is the best fr. So hilarious yet so heartwarming

[@Grendeloak]

Mighty Boosh should get an honorary mention and if they do a before 2000 Black Adder and Young Ones :)

[@CitiesForTheFuture2030]

Soooo many you missed! The sitcoms featured probably for a younger audiences, but some of my favourites include The Thin Blue Line Yes Minister Yes Prime Minister Only Fools & Horses Dinner Ladies Spaced Keeping up Appearances The Vicar of Dibley Mr Bean There's also Black Adder (not my cup of tea though) & Dad's Army (a tad before my time), plus lots of other "classics". Ted Lasso?

[@recruit_37]

It's for shows made this this century

[@CitiesForTheFuture2030]

@@recruit_37 I think I'm partly still living in the previous century, I forget it's a whole "new" century... it's all a blur now 😁

[@olliesmith2890]

Seeing your list of classics, just shows me how far comedy has fallen in the UK. Nothing in the list above, could ever top Only Fools, Vicar Of Dibley, Mr Bean and Keeping Up Appearances.

[@ryan795]

Peep Show rank 1 is bang on, but the UK Office to be placed 5th behind Derry Girls? That's criminal.

[@albertmccarthy7232]

Facts

[@WinsberryEntertainment]

IT Crowd behind Derry Girls? I like Derry Girls, but it's not very rewatchable. Extras should be in here as well.

[@davidz3879]

@@WinsberryEntertainment DG lacks an ending, which makes the ending an anti-climax. We don't know what qualifications they get, if they go to university, what jobs they go on to do or even want to do, and none of them have relationships.

[@selthy1174]

Office should be 1 but Peep Show is also fair. Office should at minimum be 2

[@SteveAustin-zv1nn]

Completely agree.

[@trevorbrown6654]

How can anybody not like Black Books. One of the best sitcoms ever. And it's no coincidence Matt Berry is on this list several times, the guy is just brilliant at delivering terrible dialogue and lying unconvincingly. He's always watchable. As you said though, Extras was a great show. The one where Val Kilmer rips off Warwick Davis is darkly hilarious and shows Kilmer is actually game enough to laugh at his own image, although the scene where Samuel L Jackson is surrounded by Maggies doll collection is jaw droppingly hilarious and totally unexpected. Kudos to Jackson for going along with the joke and it's probably not something anyone would dare do in these woke times. Surprised Little Britain isn't on here. I know it's controversial and sometimes went a a bit too far but it was full of memorable characters and very funny dialogue.

[@darrenstopper1806]

Val Kilmer was in life’s too short.That show gervais and merchant made after extras

[@darrenstopper1806]

Also the version with Maggie golliwog has Samuel Jackson. In it but it isn’t Samuel Jackson In that scene.it’s a younger British actor

[@adenscoolvideos]

I love the it crowed

[@TheKiwiDragon]

While I'm glad Vicious got an honorable mention, I'd have put it in the Top 10 for the chemistry between Sir Derek Jacobi and Sir Ian McKellen. Such brilliant one-liners and snide little remarks that I still find myself quoting even now.

Alan Partridge....?

[@pukabowers4353]

You seem to have omitted shows that began in the 1990s but continued into this century. Such as Spaced, I'm Alan Partridge, and The Royle Famiy. Or did you not thing those sitcoms were good enough, even for a worthy mention. Other humdinger omissions are People Just Do Nothing and This Country.

[@allisonbinns4536]

Spaced defo and The League of Gentlemen 😊

[@adamdoyle8001]

They clearly said started 2000s onwards

[@pukabowers4353]

@@adamdoyle8001 They did not say "started" in 2000s. What the video actually, and very clearly, says is "the best sitcoms to come out of Britain from the year 2000 and onward". That wording does not limit it to sitcoms which started during that period. Perhaps you have imagined the video clearly saying that it was limited to sitcoms that "STARTED 2000s onwards"

I like most of these shows, but outside of Derry Girls, no female leads. Miranda? Catherine Tate Show? There were a few on here that are ok, but I would put Gavin and Stacey on this list. Not as an honorable mention, and Ghosts. There have been so many great shows this century, I feel like this list is lacking a bit.
