honorable mention to this hour has 22 minutes
Where's studio c?
'Not The Nine O'Clock News', 'Naked Video', 'The Harry Enfield Show', and 'Horrible Histories' (based on historical fact) are all great 😀
fuck Tim n Eric yeah luxury comedy
No, Mitchell and Webb look? Or armstrong and miller …. for shame 🙁
Loiter squad
Chappell show
All that
how is madtv not higher up on the list?
or what about the catherine tate show?!
WKUK
no the Amanda show on this list?
Studio C
Where's the "Whitest Kids U'Know"? Like there were only 4 seasons, but that show was prime!!!!
Chappelle's show will always be no.1 for me.
Of all of the lists MOJO has cobbled together, this is the dumbest. Half of these picks are so obscure and ridiculously low-brow, and the shows you'd think would make the list, only get honorable mentions. How could you not include "SCTV" in the list? What is WRONG with you?
Of all the STATE sketches you could've used, you use THIS Louie sketch?
Who make this list??? Watchmojo??? One question- why in this list not BENNY HILL SHOW???
Whitest kids you know??
4 . 20 Sarah silverman warning.
where's robot chicken
I was going to be pissed if Mad TV was only an honorable mention. But since they're in the list, I'm happy.
I'd include the Whitest Kids You Know, the Red Green Show, and that of the original sketch comedy, Q5.
Guess no one remembers Exit 57, huh? Too bad. I'd give my left ovary to see that show again.
How come you didn't include the Canadian Show The Red Green Show which is also hilarious.
no whitest kids no key and peele wtf!!
MadTV better be in the Top 5 at least.
Little Britain, a show so terrible, it was popular in America
"An almost exclusively african american cast."
And Jim Carrey
Wonder Showzen should of made this list. It is a very influential, funny, and underrated show.
Where was Mitchell and Webb or the league of gentlemen.
You've missed out The Benny Hill Show, Not Only …. But Also, The Fast Show, The Two Ronnies, Bo' Selecta, Hale & Pace – as well as various sketch shows involving Harry Enfield as well as those featuring Mitchell and Webb. WatchMojo isn't interested in shows that aren't popular in the US.
HOW IN BLOODY HELL ARE THE WHITEST KIDS U KNOW NOT ON THIS LIST????????????????
I made a playlist on my channel of over 200 of their skits. The WKUK are one of the greatest comedy groups there are.
league of Gentlemen
I think Key and peele should have at least gotten an honorable mention. I also think in the next 20 years we're going to see the influence of Demetri Martin's Important Things, Whitest Kids You Know, and Birthday Boys
Clearly made by an American, a lot of British shows are better than American
It’s a shame WKUK or Key and Peele didn’t get an honorable mention
MadTV only at #6?
WatchMojo has several list on Saturday Night Live issues, but non from MadTv.
Our Channel Is Growing!!!! Check us out!
Where's key and peele
Kids in the Hallllllll!!!!!!!!! I had the biggest crush on Dave Foley!!
I love this
