Bob Mortimer telling two egg stories on "Would I Lie To You"
The living incarnation of absurdist comedy that twists even David Mitchell's brain.

Henning Wehn - Would I Lie To You
The first and last word (well I don't know if he has a middle name) in showing just the sort of humour Germans can have and its brilliant.

The Bellboy - Jerry Lewis
Now here's a truly polarising talent, but he did make two great films that essentially bookended his career. Along with "The King of Comedy", this was a brilliant piece of cinema and they stand in stark contrast to each other. The voice Lewis uses when doing his intro to the film he got from Stan Freberg who stands as the opening salvo of this thread. Still have no idea why the French loved everything Lewis did, I blame the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests, karma and all that.

Monty Python & The Holy Grail - French Taunting
The trojan horse never appeared in Homer's "IlIiad", but a trojan rabbit does appear here. So love this film.

Its Your Move - Eric Sykes
Time for another dose of the wonderful comedy from Sykes and all his friends.

It's creepily good
I feel like the audience do him dirty there. He's so gooooood.

The dystopian weirdness from the 80s that gave every robocomic some shoulders to stand on. I'll even include his funkatrauma hit with Art of Noise, "Paranoimia".

Morecambe and Wise with Tom Jones
A big part of my childhood and a reminder of much (for the most part) gentler times.

Mastermind - Morecambe and Wise
There was no way I could let this go by. The original Mastermind hosted by Magnus Magnusson (an incredible intellect - I've read a number of his translations of the Icelandic sagas) was a favourite target for a number of English comedians and Magnusson was more than happy to play along. A testament to all involved.
