One that I absolutely loved, but which rarely comes up, is Mr Don & Mr George by two Scottish comedians Moray Hunter and Jack Docherty. I think there was only one series, but it has a beautifully gentle, slightly surreal, slightly slapstick humour.

Edit: And for a much more brutal sense of humour, I don't think any political comedy has bettered The Thick Of It.

I recommended Still Game to an American colleague and he found it hilarious even though I thought it would be a bit crude at times for an older gentleman. I guess the fact they're pensioners themselves softens the humour a bit.

It was very funny, but also a spin-off to Absolutely!, which itself was a great series - 4 series! - with lots of funny characters:

* Denzil and Gwenned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw7tQOyfwyk

* Stoneybridge Town Council: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njiH4i4Kkf0

They were Edinburgh's answer to Glasgow's Naked Video (Gregor Fisher, Elaine C. Smith, Andy Gray, Helen Lederer, etc.) although the welsh John Sparkes was in both, and had is own spin-off series, Barry Welsh is Coming
