Watching Fork Handles on the youtube thread brought back great memories of different sketches that I love to watch. What would othe rpeople's favourites be? I am not talking about shows, simply sketches as a part of a show.
I love the Fork handles obviously and Del Boy falling through the bar in Only Fools.
The recent one for me was in Two and a half men, when Charlie and Alan have to pretend to be gay lovers. Fcukin class. Love that show.
And when Charlie went to meet an ex who turned out to have had a sex change afterwards. Then the mother shags him/her/it. Brilliant

Anything from "The Office"
Anything from "Alan Partridge"
Everything else is a pale shadow
Dads Army - 'Don't tell him your name Pike'!!
Blackadder - Lord Flashheart (Rik Mayall) 'Woof, woof'
OFAH - The one where del Boy takes the tart to the Opera.
Plenty more also, Orior you need to get out more! (edit: should that be sit in more??!)
David Brent grabbing his guitar and bursting into song during a staff training day in the Office. Gareth actually makes this scene with his contribution.

OFAH: Del and Rodney chatting up two girls in a nightclub with Rodney going under the guise of a pro tennis player. Girl asks Rodney: "do you prefer grass or astroturf?". To which Rodney replies "I don't know, I've never smoked astroturf!!"
Does sitcom sketches make sense? Surely you have sketches like the two Ronnies or trigger happy and then you've sitcom moments like Father Ted ,Faulty Towers etc.

brilliant show, wish they would start showing it again
Really looking forward to the new series of The Thick of It which starts this weekend. Malcolm Tucker could give swearing lessons to Gordon Ramsey.
Tucker's Law: "If some **** can f**k something up, that **** will pick the worst possible time to f**king f**k it up cause that ****'s a ****."
I believe The Thick of It employs a special swearing consultant to add additional profanity! Now there's a great job!

Fawlty Towers in a league of its own. Favourite sketch in a long list of greats was where the Major[who got a lot of the best lines] tells Basil how he once took a girl to see India - at the Oval. Wish I could get a link for it.
Many scenes from The Office, Alan Partridge, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder etc. To give the Brits their dues, they do comedy well.

Fawlty Towers' & the Waldorf salad episode, classic.
Here s the dialogue of that Fawlty bit I mentioned earlier.
The Major: Strange creatures, women. I knew one once... striking-looking girl... tall, you know... father was a banker.
Basil: Really?
The Major: Don't remember the name of the bank.
Basil: Nevermind.
The Major: I must have been rather keen on her because I took her to see... India!
Basil: India?
The Major: At the Oval... fine match, marvellous finish... now, Surrey had to get thirty-three in about half an hour... she went off to powder her... powder her hands or something... women... er... never came back.
Basil: What a shame.
The Major: And the strange thing was... throughout the morning she kept referring to the Indians as niggers. "No no no," I said, "the niggers are the West Indians. These people are wogs." "No, no," she said. "All cricketers are niggers."
Basil: They do get awfully confused, don't they? They're not thinkers. I see it with Sybil everyday.
The Major: I do wish I could remember her name. She's still got my wallet.
Basil: As I was saying, no capacity for logical thought.
The Major: Who?
Basil: Women.
The Major: Oh yes, yes... I thought you meant Indians.

Should put this in the gear-grinding thread, I suppose, but what kind of morons are the 50% of people whose comment on a YouTube clip is to repeat a line from the CLIP WE'VE JUST WATCHED. Yes - we heard it too!

Moysider, Thanks for the Fawlty Towers transcript....... cheered me up no end.
A personal fave of mine is from Trailer Park Boys when in a "hostage situation" the SWAT team shoot the hostage (one of the main characters Julian) wounding him.
Agree with previous poster that 2 and a Half Men is a class show. Losing it a bit though as the Jake character gets older.
Could pick a 100 scenes from Scrubs, but this one always makes me laughs.

One of the best lines ever, Basil - Fawlty towers:
May I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically...?
I think this show is rather neglected now but Rising Damp was great with Leonard Rossiter. Great sketch when he tries to propose to Miss Jones over an Indian meal.
A few months ago Virgin NTL was showing really old episodes of On the Buses.
Ah those were the days.

Best line in a sitcom.
From Yes Prime Minister but you have to watch it all.
My favourite line is from 'Porridge.' Fletcher's undergoing a medical and has just described to the doctor the problems he has with flat feet. The doc moves on to the next question:
'Are you homosexual?'
'What? With these feet?'
:D

Absolute classic. The old hag with the hearing aid.
Old Hag- ''I have decided to stay here but only if I get a discount on the room''
Basil- ''My wife deals with all such matters""
Old Hag-'' I shall speak to here after tea''
Basil- '' You heard that alright didnt you'' (While bowing)

Classic Father Ted....
Mrs Doyle: There's always time for a nice cup of tea. Sure, didn't the Lord himself pause for a nice cup of tea before giving himself up for the world.
Father Ted: No, he didn't, Mrs Doyle!
Mrs Doyle: Well, whatever the equivalent they had for tea in those days, cake or something. And speaking of cake, I have cake!
[Holds up a cupcake]
Father Ted: No thanks, Mrs Doyle.
Mrs Doyle: Are you sure, Father? There's cocaine in it!
Father Ted: WHAT?
Mrs Doyle: Oh, no, not cocaine. God, what am I on about. No, what d'you call them. Raisins.

love it..
Not exactly a scene but I was in the Millennium Forum recently for the Fawlty Towers dinning experience. In it three professional actors play the parts of Basil, Manual and Cybill. They recreate scenes from the show and do a lot of impromptu stuff for about three hours whilst serving you a lovely 4 course meal. One of the best nights craics I've ever had, even if Basil did throw my girlfriend out of the building for being riff raff after she complained about the air conditioning.
I noticed at the time it was on all over the country and I would highly recommend it if you get a chance even if your not a fan of the show
