Inbetweeners
its makes you cringe, but how they exaggerate characteristics of teenage boys and their associated behaviour, wrapping them up into 4 close mates, is brilliant

KNEW i'd missed one!. Brilliant.
 
Cheers All

Ones I'd missed and possibly should be in the top 10

Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads
Inbetweeners
Partridge (Various - I'm AP probably the best?)
The Day Today
 
Generation divide again.

Setting aside Morecambe & Wise, The 2 Ronnies and Dad's Army who are just a class apart.

Hancock,
Till Death us do part
Steptoe
Fawlty Towers
Blackadder
The Office
It ain't half hot Mum
Likely Lads
Porridge,
Yes Minister

Honerable mentions
Some Mothers do ha`
ve them
Early Doors
Are you being served.
Allo Allo


Without trying there must be lots more from the nonPC days when we actually had comedy on the tv.

My choices would be very similar to yours in virtually all aspects, apart from The Office. I have an irrational disliking for Ricky Gervais, although I do like An Idiot Abroad.
To your honourable mentions, I would also add
Bread
The Vicar of Dibley
Victoria Wood
Just Good Friends and
The Good Life.

Anyway, now you've mentioned It Ain't Half Hot, Mum, I'm off to prepare a Gang Show!
 
So from a man in his early 20's, I simply can't decide as there are too many I adore

Favourites:

Father Ted (I hear you're a racist now Father? - Perhaps the funniest TV comedy episode ever)
Bruiser (easily the funniest sketch show - and very underrated)
Green Wing
Police Squad
Harry and Paul
Only Fools and Horses
Black Books
Derek
A bit of Fry and Laurie (Vox pop is a particular highlight)
South Park (because screw American-inspired comedy)

Some chucklers (in no particular order):

Big Train
Little Britain
The Office UK
Brass Eye
Blackadder Goes Fourth (deny everything Baldrick!)
Spaced
The Inbetweeners
The IT Crowd
Peep Show (Earlier series)
Fawlty Towers
