Classic Comedy Quotes

[JimmyJazz64]

Watched an episode of Fawlty Towers today - the one where Mrs Richards is a guest. Jesus, it was packed with classic quotes. One of the best comedy lines ever...

Mrs Richards - "I expect to be able to see the sea"
Basil Fawlty - "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky"

Maybe I'm getting old but they just don't make them like that anymore!!!

Just a simple sense of humour that every generation, gender or religion could laugh at. whether the butt of the joke was Lukewarm, Denzel, Corporal Jones, Manuel (Flowery Tw8ts ) or nurse Gladys' buxom.

Think that's ageism, racism, ***ism, homophobia all covered off and I cant recall too many complaints until the PC brigade evolved...

trawling through Dave on Sky catch up now for more classics...great post

Phoenix Nights when Den Perry set fire to the club and Potter's outside talking to the fireman. Can't remember the exact lines but it was along the lines of:

Fireman "Looks like it was a discarded fag"
Les "What's happened?"
Potter "Some queer's burned my club down Lesley"

Some stunning writing in phoenix nights.

commenting when Jerry burns his hand on a freshly prepared "charred remain" from the fire when raising money, Potter says "some of us are still suffering"

Looks crap when wrote down but made me laugh when I heard it! honest ;-)
