There is no "other" option, because there are no others.

reeves and mortimer are a more surreal version of morceombe and wise when you look at it.

Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, for A Bit of Fry and Laurie (I watch them regularly) and for the whole Jeeves and Wooster thing, which was fantastic too. And for being so beautifully English. It was nice to see them together on QI a while back.
My three favourite A Bit of Fry and Laurie sketches: 'Marjorie's Fall' (two chaps talking about a woman who has fallen off a horse) 'PAss the Marmalade' (hearing problems) 'Countdown to Hell' (Countdown skit) You know, Noel Fielding and Julian BArret are too good to dismiss.

Apart from Fry and Laurie (and Barret and Fielding), I'd say Smith and Jones, plus Morecombe and Wise.
I have to say, I'd completely forgotten how good Smith and Jones were until that compilation series was on recently. Very funny indeed.

LAurel and Hardy were very funny at their best.
There's a LAurel and HArdy museum in Ulverston, in the Lake District.

Actually I love L & H. I meant to call the poll British comedy double acts. If not, then L&H would have been the ONLY choice for me. Abbott & Costello are the pits though. |

Pookie, as maker of the thread, given your 'there are no others' comment, can I press you on the Noel Fielding and Julian BArret issue?

I thought they were just paired together in films by the studio, at the start at least. I think they were in the same film a couple of times before there was a offivcial 'Laurel and Hardy' flick.

I think Stan Laurel came over from England on the same ship as Charlie Chaplin and worked in silent films on his own before teaming up with Hardy. |

From the god Wiki: The first film encounter of the two comedians (as separate performers) took place in The Lucky Dog, produced in 1919 by Sun-Lite Pictures and released in 1921. Several years later, both comedians appeared in the Hal Roach production 45 Minutes from Hollywood (1926). Their first "official" film together was The Second Hundred Years (June 1927), directed by Fred Guiol and supervised by Leo McCarey, who suggested that the performers be teamed permanently. |

Words can't express how unfunny I found The Mighty Boosh. It's one of those things. It's not so much that I don't find it funny, I just don't understand WHY it's even supposed to be funny. There, I've said it. I've been keeping that in until now. |
