Inspired by the WKRP turkey sketch, I thought it would be fun to start a more general thread on our favorite television comedy moments. Please try to include video links if possible, to help others enjoy as well.

One of my most favorites is Dan Aykroyd's Bass-O-Matic "commercial" from early SNL:

Super Bass-O-Matic 76
 
Reposting here:

  • Chuckles Bites the Dust - MTM Show,
  • Barney Miller and the "brownies",
  • Carol Burnett in "Gone With The Wind",
  • The last Bob Newhart show's scene

    Rhoda gets married (and Phyllis forgets to pick her up).
Add.....

Any John Belushi SNL Samurai skit
Dan Ackroyd as Fred Garvin (let me fix my truss)
Landshark skits
Lucy in Italy stomping grapes.
Dick Van Dyke and the "Walnuts" episode.

I have a lot of favorites. Love the Dick Van Dyke episode where Laura gets her toe stuck in the faucet.

That Girl Marlo Thomas sticks her toe into a bowling ball and it gets stuck. She has to wear the bowling ball with a bandage to a fancy affair.

Cheeseburger, Chips, Pepsi from old SNL.
Cheerleader sketches with Cheri Oteri and Will Farrell. LOVED those sketches.

The newer somewhat funny SNL sketches are the braggert, one-upper who twists her hair, played by Kisten Wiig. She also does the very funny Lawrence Welk/ Lennon sisters satire. Most of SNL is no longer that funny to me. I don't think it's my age, because I have old DVD's and still laugh at them.
 
A much more recent one that makes me double over is:

Dave Chapelle and the Wayne Brady episode.
 
The Honeymooners and one golf pro teaching another the ins and outs of the game. Jackie Gleason tells Art Carney that first you have to position yourself and address the ball. Art Carney - "Helloooo Ball!" Funtime

Ooohhh - I totally forgot. Chapelle's Racial Draft sketch (not PC). I should have put that ahead of Bass-O-Matic.

The episode of Frasier with the scene where Niles duels with Maris's fencing instructor! I would post the clip here, but you need to see the whole episode from the beginning to get the setup.
 
Any church lady skit from SNL
 
John Belushi & Buck Henry.

Samurai Delicatessen (SNL).

Also, Mike Myers speaking French with a Scottish accent during a guest appearance on Letterman show (or maybe it was the old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson -- I'm not sure). That's 1 of the funniest things I have ever heard on TV. I have not found it on U-Tube, etc. So it goes.

While the whole series rightfully qualifies as the funniest of all time here is one of many favorite moments.

Seinfeld Car Rental Reservation

or WD Bud Prize (& Jerry Hubbard) from the classics Fernwood & America Tonight "Help Me Make It Through The Night" Tony Rolletti (wait for the toupee)

and of course the original SCTV with John Candy, Harold Ramis and other greats "Perry Como - STILL ALIVE!", "Leave It To Beaver" and "Muley's Round House" Edit to add the great Martin Short as Ed Grimley (on Snakes)
There hasn't been a new comedy in the last decade that come close to any of these true classic series.

I love these, too and put them in recent comedy classics category.

LOL! The Kids in The Hall with "Date With An Engineer" ( I was married to one for 30 years and this one reminds me of our first date) and any Kids in the Hall with Scott as Queen Elizabeth and the other ones with "Chicken Girl".

Also, MXC - the ones from Japan with the dubbed voices. I love "the rotating surfboard of death " ! I have the whole collection if anyone is interested in borrowing them.
