Mr. Bean and Trailer Park Boys
I'm obsessed with comedy--the more absurd, it seems, the better. I've been watching a lot of Rowan Atkinson in the Mr. Bean series and, of course, I love the Black Adder series. One of his lesser-known shows (and, albeit, a bit more formulaic) in America is the Thin Blue Line. He is a comic genius, and I think a lot of people will look back at his Bean character as a sort of Buster Keaton-esque classic.

I keep going on and on about the Trailer Park Boys, because it's so friggin' funny. Mike Smith's Bubbles character is nothing short of ball-busting hilarity. Rob Wells' character, Ricky, is smart in his stupidity, and the improvisation reminds me of Reno 911 and the Office. I definitely am attracted to this style of comedy and think most of its genre have been pretty decently done. I've loved all of the Christopher Guest "mockumentaries" (including Spinal Tap), and think he is mostly responsible for bringing the genre to its most apparent popularity as a comic format.
