there are some great brit comedies of recent years

The IT Crowd, The Office, Peep Show (not what it sounds like),  That Mitchell and Webb Look, Armstrong and Miller (look out for the airmen), Green Wing, Miranda, The Inbetweeners.  Not to mention Mock the Week ,Have I Got News for You and Live at the Apollo, oh and just about anything with Charlie Brooker in.

If you like your comics dark then check out Franky Boyle for dark and politically incorrect.

I'm fond of US comedies, but there is a distinct difference which it's hard to put a finger on.  There has been some great stuff out of the US in recent years I love Scrubs, The Big Bang Theory, Family Guy and Reaper, but on the whole I think there is an edge in the brit stuff that appeals to me more.  Not suprising with me being English of course.  Saying that I probably watch more Family Guy than anything else at the moment.
