on a side note I do enjoy Benny Hill and Monty Python.

When you are a kid in the U.S., Benny Hill was the best you are going to get on regular tv.

Yes, very scary. But it was the right place at the right time. I'll even admit that I laughed the first couple of times I saw it since it was considerably different that what was normally served up in the US at that time, but it got old quick. It was surprising to see it being made fun of on the Simpsons a little while ago.

If benny Hill is merely ONE of the worst british comedians ever, I'd be interested to learn who the SINGLE worst british comedian is.

As far as british humor goes, I'd like to say that I find changing rooms hilarious.

How about some anime?

In no particular order:

Azumanga Daioh
Follow the life of several Japanese highschool girls. Sort of like Seinfeld, only much funnier.

FLCL
Naota is a normal kid, living in a boring town. His brother's gone off to America to play baseball, and now his brother's girlfriend is hanging all over him. And this other girl, who calls herself an alien, shows up and runs him over with her scooter. Right before hitting him on the head with her guitar. And then robots start popping out of his head.
That's when things start to get weird.

Puni Puni Poemi
Poemi is an extremly energetic but not too bright girl who wants to be a voice actress (in fact, she has a hard time remembering she's playing a role). Her parents (a/k/a "The Director" and Kumi-san) are tragically killed, and she ends up living with her best friend's family. And then she finds out she's a magical girl...

Dragon Half
Mink is a normal sixteen-year-old girl. Except for having a dragon for a mother, that is. Her father, a famous dragon-slayer, fell in love and, well, the result was Mink. Now Mink has a crush on the popular singing idol and dragon-slayer **** Saucer, and is trying to get to his next concert. Only the king has the hots for Mink's mom, and is trying to capture Mink to use as a lure for her father...

Child's Toy
Sana is a child actress on a popular TV show, Child's Toy ("Kodomo no Omocha"). Another genki girl, she's engaged in a classroom war with Hayama, leader of the boys, who's stirring things up so much they never seem to actually have any lessons.

Wraith
"You know how sometimes you can see the dust in your eyes? I'm chasing it right now."
-- Osaka ("Azumanga Daioh")

Well, I happened to have enjoyed Benny Hill. When I was, like, 9-10, though, so I guess my perspective on humor was different.

I didn't get it at all until I was 12 or 13. Early 80's. The humor was funny, but the chance to see boobs, made me watch every night.

And this was on a local station in Utah. I even saw an old "Hammer" film that they missed editing out the boobs on. Needless to say, KSTU channel 13 was my favorite station for years.

Sadly, they are now a FOX affiliate.

ACK!
