Witchsmeller: [talking about ordeal by axe] The suspect has his head placed upon a block, and an axe aimed at his neck. If the man is guilty, the axe will bounce off his neck — so we burn him. If the man is not guilty, the axe will simply slice his head off.
sorry, that one is from blackaddar
Another Blackaddar jem

Ah! The Goons. God Bless the BBC!
That first one reminds me of the cheech and chong 'Dave' sketch. It's dave man let me in. Dave's not here man!
Ahh you are right, the BBC does do a real service in providing great comedy, tho I think some of the older stuff is better.
Well, The Goon Show is over 50 years old now! Ying tong iddle i po!
I would probably have to find it on UKTVGold then?
Sadly I am catching up with all the brilliant british comedies. I love 'The Good Life' tho the last ever episode had me in tears after it had me in stitches of course
Can't think of anything right now but I have to say I love Blackadder and BBC comedy shows
I actually found mine while doing a search for the goodies. The pic was fuzzy in the browser so I skipped it, wish I hadn't as you posted and it looks good, shucks!
If you don't mind radio rather than TV, then how about BBC Radio 4's Old Harry's Game, which is set in Hell? Andy Hamilton plays Satan, so that will give you an idea of what to expect

Mike: Neil, it is very rare you interest me, but today you have. Why do you keep coming in here, carrying a cake, and saying surprise?
Neil: It's my birthday.
Mike: Now you knew that anyway, and we don't care, so where's the surprise?
I'm so hungry I could eat my own ear wax. And we all know how horrid that is, right kids?
We plant the seeds, nature grows the seeds, we eat the seeds.
We plant the seeds, nature grows the seeds, we eat the seeds.
It's all right, Rik. Nobody's on fire!
A little Vicar of Dibely is always good too
A nun is taking a bath when someone knocks at the door. She asks who it is, and the person says, "The blind man." So she lets him come into the bathroom. The man enters the room and says, "Nice tits. Where do you want me to put the blinds?"
David Horton: Dibley can't afford a new window.
Geraldine: Wait a minute! 'Can't' isn't in the Christian Vocabulary!
Owen Newitt: Yes it is! You can't commit Adultery, You can't steal...
Jim Trott: You can't even covet your neighbour's ass. Even if it is very alluring!
From "The Oscar Wilde sketch", Monty Python's Flying Circus.
J.M. Whistler: Your highness is also like a stream of bat's piss. [outrage ensues]...it was one of Shaw's...
G.B. Shaw: What I meant your majesty...what I meant...um..I meant that you shine out like a shaft of gold when all around is dark.

Can't say I'm famiar with either of those two.He's not american, but Peter Sellers (Pink Panther)is the funniest actor I've ever seen. Even when he does a scene in a movie where you KNOW what he's going to do you still have to laugh at it.hacsar
