    The ice-cream van sketch, where the wee guy asks "Gie us a swatch of yer *" is a scream. Some of the skanks that I know worked on ice-cream vans would have done so.

    Still Game by a country mile.

    It's quite simply the best sitcom comedy series ever made. Characters and storylines that real Scottish people can relate to, one-liners that make you laugh every time you see them and genuine classic comedy gold moments. No shortage of emotional and touching moments as well.

    I've always said it's like a Scottish version of 'Only Fools & Horses'.

    Chewin The Fat had one or 2 moments of genius, but they drew out certain jokes too long ( 'gonnae no dae that' .. 'you've taken that too far' etc) and some of it to be honest is just downright pish.

    It's a fairly middle-of-the-road show.

    Absolute non-contest for me.

    Still Game, although Chewin' the Fat had a lot of great sketches.

    Was using my phone and accidentally voted for Chewin' the Fat.

    I love both, but Still Game really is one of the best comedies of all time :50:

    Indeed :84:

    In no particular order I really Black Adder, Father Ted, Alan Partridge, Fawlty Towers, Monty Pythons, The Office, Inbetweeners, early Red Dwarf, Peep Show.

    Thinking as I type, it is maybe west coast Scottish humour I dont get. I was never a big fan of Rab C Nesbitt and I dont get that Gary Tank Commander show.

    Not saying they are bad, just that I dont really get the humour.

    Voted still game. The cast is just amazing.
    Blightys hardest boozers was immense.
    Winston tam navid isa boaby absolutely brilliant.
    Winston is my favourite though. He doesnt have to even say owt he's so funny.

    Chewing the fat was also brill but just not on still games level.

    Although rab mcglinchey interpreting for the neds is quality as is the big man.

    hail hail

    Last series or so was a bit ropey, I think they realised it had went on long enough. :50:
