Top Modern British Comedy Moments

[@SandmanStoriesPresents]

So glad the comedy came after the Walliams clips

[@spacejam8765]

Come Fly with me is just brilliant and really funny. Great show. Shame no one has a sense of humour anymore.

[@Disneygirlie]

Friday Night Dinner, Skins and the Inbetweeners will always be my top three favourites! I'm so proud to be British!

[@romainsavioz5466]

Hello friend Neighbour

[@Amytron4057]

Yeah

[@dannyjones8712]

Is that Freaking Ash Millman!!!

[@deer0skullz]

putting Derry Girls in the thumbnail of a video called “British comedy” is insane work. did anyone who worked on this video actually watch the show or understand anything about Northern Irish politics?

[@neilcameron7705]

Northern Ireland is part of the UK, which means that Derry Girls fits under the umbrella of "UK Comedy". However, Britain is the main island. So Derry Girls doesn't fit under the umbrella of "British Comedy". This is why in the comedy series "Little Britain", they had no skits from Northern Ireland.

[@ColchesterPT]

Not everyone worked for FlyLo. Did anyone watch the programme?

[@thecircledk8597]

Derry Girls is Irish not British... two different islands !!

[@ClearLight1967]

It would help if you brushed up on your geography, Derry is in Northern Ireland, a province of the UK and separate from Ireland.

[@deer0skullz]

⁠@@ClearLight1967it would help if you brushed up on your politics. Derry Girls is written about Irish Catholics by Irish Catholics. people are well aware that Northern Ireland is still held under the UK, that doesn’t make it any less disrespectful to call a show about a nationalist community during the Troubles “British”

[@edgeworth097]

It's a weird one in the same category as Father Ted: made by Irish people, but both shows are Channel 4 shows and are technically classed as British as a result

[@amandabeaty1492]

​@@ClearLight1967They are indeed Irish. They live in Derry.

[@Joekeegans]

@@ClearLight1967Derry is free ☘️🇮🇪

[@iceetmarne3571]

6:28 - David Schwimmer was in Band of Brothers... "has had little screen time", implying nothing important since Friends is very harsh.

[@brendanm6921]

To be fair, that's only one and a bit episodes of one show in how many years? They said very little, not none.

[@maldaror7097]

Great stuff, but nothing close to Del Boy Falling through a bar.

[@lesley-anncaldwell128]

“Provoss”?! 😅

[@derpNburp]

Get Derry girls out of there WatchMojo

[@markneely3805]

It was filmed in the UK with funding from UK publicly owned tv channels so it is by definition a British comedy

[@derpNburp]

@@markneely3805 by definition sure, but as the show is called "Derry girls" and not "Londonderry girls" should show people that this show is Irish by heart. And the show has it's characters hating the British and bashing them constantly

[@deer0skullz]

@@markneely3805it is literally about Catholic nationalists during the Troubles written by a Catholic nationalist woman. its just straight up disrespectful to call it British

[@brendanm6921]

​@@derpNburpI don't know if "hate" is the right word in that context. In fact, they all grow to love James very fondly. Did you not see how Michelle raged at him when she thought he was leaving or how Erin couldn't stop herself from shoving her tongue down his throat? What they hate is the political situation.

[@TripleGhey]

Get Come Fly With Me out of there

[@1001000111]

...If I wasn't British and this list was all I knew of British comedies then I would think the UK cannot produce comedy at all.

[@frankbrodie5168]

Is it a Catholic thing that they call children 'waynes' does any Irish/Scottish person know? My family were all Glaswegians. But my maternal step-grandfather was of Irish-Catholic descent. The only Catholic in a VERY much Church of Scotland Protestant family. Now my mum moved to South Yorkshire in 1960 for work. And loads of the family followed her in the 1960's/70's. Due to South Yorkshire being a considerable step up from the deprivation in inner city Glasgow back then. I was the first of my family line borrn in England for over 100 years. Anyway.. My parents etc ALWAYS called children/kids 'waynes.' But my mate married a Glaswegian from Gorbals in 1986. Church of Scotland lass. And she and her family always called the children 'bairns.' So I was really surprised when watching Derry Girls to hear them calling children waynes.

[@amandabeaty1492]

Wain is used in Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It's not specific to a religion, more of an area but wain is used in Derry as much as it is in Belfast.

[@jezmarta]

Ah when comedy had some edge before it was sanded off by the unfunny.

[@BeefTorpedo.]

I'm sorry no mention of Partridge at all?!

[@StuffTorinLikes]

I wish lists like this included People Just Do Nothing. I've seen the series 5 times on Netflix (unfortunately, it's no longer streaming) and I live in the U.S. I want more love for this show.

[@padraigpearse1551]

You seriously put Derry Girls in a list of British comedies?

[@amandabeaty1492]

Oh dear WatchMojo UK, what have you done?! You listed Derry Girls as British. Having flown on countless Ryanair flights out of Dublin, I'm pretty sure Come Fly With Me would be funnier if it took place in Dublin... I've seen some pretty funny shit on Ryanair flights.

[@nyls1717]

It’s a war crime that you included the peepshow over cuckoo

[@crazycrazysnakeman]

Might be the worst list you’ve done

[@TripleGhey]

Matt Lucas and David Walliams aren't funny at all. You say Mrs Brown's Boys is shite but most of this list is those two gaybos.

[@johnpine9945]

First comment thankyou

[@Amytron4057]

Yeah

[@Mushting]

Far too many “Come Fly With Me” clips honestly.

[@TripleGhey]

*far too many

[@Mushting]

@@TripleGhey You’re right. Embarrassing. typo on my end.

[@joshuagarbett]

My dad got angry at me when I told him a story about being so scared of a dog when I was younger that I could have had a heart attack This is definitely British humour, an elderly man having a heart attack or choking and he was only doing it for a joke, I’m a Karen now because I am going to point out why this is unacceptable, I can’t believe I have to actually explain this to you This kind of humour has been around for as long as I’ve been alive but the truth is, stiff upper lip, British humour is extremely irritatingly humorous, you find yourself really really laughing but it’s just aside from anything else extremely disrespectful and a lot of times extremely hurtful and offensive Comedians not just Ricky Gervais often point out how people get a lot of the time wrongly offended by there jokes, saying things like it’s personal and feelings are personal and the way you feel about a joke is personal to you, which is very true but at the same time it doesn’t make the joke any less offensive
