Comic Aid (2005)
Incredible
Amazing how seemingly shallow celebrities can get involved in this kind of thing for free. Everyone was very funny (some funnier than others: Bill Bailey, Lee Evans and Omid Djalili particularly impressive) and I am certain that it raised a lot of important money for the Tsunami charity.
Despite the reason for the evening, there was not the sombre mood you might expect, and the light-heartedness paid off. The comedians did their material in a lively mood (except the trademark cynics like Dylan Moran, Jack Dee and Jo Brand), and the combination of musical comedy from Bill Bailey and Rich Hall, impressions from Jon Culshaw and Alaistair McGowan, mind tricks from Derren Brown and stand-up worked excellently, making sure that the audience was never bored.
Family Guy (1999)
Undoubtedly the funniest show I have ever seen.
I am from England, and the show is not that well-publicised or much-shown over here, so I didn't pick it up until the third series. Before that point I thought that no cartoon could live up to the standards set by The Simpsons, but I was mistaken.
I got the Season 3 box-set ASAP and watched it within a day. I then got the first two series. By this point I had heard the news that a fourth series was in production and I was delighted. The first few episodes look fantastic, and I can't wait to get them all over here.
This is no rip-off of any other show. It is original, hilarious and controversial in its own way. 10/10
