LOTSW is controversial but I've only started watching these on Dave now. They were quite cleverly written. They're not split your sides humour but I find them funny.

AND WHEN I DREAM , I DREAM ABOUT YOU AND WHEN I SCREAM I SCREAM ABOUT YOU!!!!!
I could never restrict that list to 5, I'd have trouble getting it down to 25 favourites.
I loathe On The Buses, Love Thy Neighbour and Mind Your Language (all three word titles, no wonder I hate Tony Abbott).
Can I mention one that hasn't appeared yet but really should? Malcolm in the Middle (Bryan Cranston deservedly got a mention with Breaking Bad). Oh, and list the previously mentioned Spike Milligna's sublime World Of Beachcomber and Q series (Curry And Chips wasn't so good).
Also, for antipodeans, Fred Dagg, Clarke and Dawe, Mother and Son, The D-Generation, The Big Gig, The Glynn Nicholas Show, Frontline, The Hollowmen, Swift And Shift, Fat Pizza.
Was thinking about adding MASH to my list. Brilliant series, certainly the best from the US, but some don't consider it comedy as such, just a series with dark humour and satire, not laugh out loud type of stuff from most shows featured on this thread.

The Day Today Brass Eye The Fast Show Hary Enfield & Friends Shooting Stars
I also used to love the Scottish comedy show called Absolutely -- anyone remember that? I still say Stoneybridge in a nasally jock accent whenever I go over a stone built bridge
Absolutely was that the show that had a hairy faced scotsman standing at the English border screaming abuse at the English if so agree it was a good call I think the 2 actors from still game another excellent show were involved

Have always loved M*A*S*H*. That and Spike Milligan's brilliant first war diary introduced me to wordplay and punnery.

Fawlty Towers Black Adder Alan Partridge The Office Seinfeld
I think this thread confirms Fawlty Towers as the people choice. I watched The Builders just last week for the umpteenth time and still laughed out loud several times. The script is just sensational and the comedy and program itself is timeless. They also did what few other comedy series have done ans that was quit at the top after only 12 episodes.
It's interesting to see that Seinfeld gets just two mentions. I know it's American but it really does have such a quailty script with the intertwining storylines and Jerrys observations are spot on. George Costanza is possibly my favourite comedy personality. And to have continued to have produced such quality over 9 years with 180 episodes in total marks it as a classic for me. Early quality from the great Larry David.
maybe a guilty pleasure but According to Jim on channel 4 every day - Jim is just a blokes bloke - likes sport / food /beer and avoids emotional interaction not cerebral but some of the husband/wife father/kids scenarios ring true and its the yeah I recognise that situation laughter
