Garth Marenghi, Alan Partridge and The Office are especially hilarious. I'd also like to add a show called "The Revolution Will Be Televised", which really cracked me up.
My one small criticism of a lot of comedy shows, The Office in particular, is that they are gratuitously mean and snarky. The Office is one of my favourite shows, but it represents a lot of comedy shows which don't seem to realise that meanness isn't a necessary ingredient. Maybe meanness is what makes a show "cult" for some people, but that doesn't work for me. Gavin and Stacey one of my favourite "cult" comedies, and that show doesn't have a mean bone in its body. The characters are as off-beat as any other "cult" show, but we're shown how to love them more than laugh at them.
I voted Fry and Laurie.. I love Hugh Laurie in comedies but I dislike House...I LOVE Father Ted.I guess its an Irish-com but Im American so I tend to lump them together.
I also love Fawlty Towers, Manuel is my favorite character...his pet rat, "is Siberian Hamster! Filligree!"
I like to laugh AT pathetic people. East Enders are pathetic. Derisive audiences arise!
I really love 'Human Remains'. Very bleak, but really funny. Rob Brydon before 'Marion and Geoff' and numerous panel shows and Julia Davis before 'Nighty Night'.
I really enjoyed That Mitchell and Webb Look. My favorite skit was Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.
If you get a chance check out "Nathan Barley"
It's a mid noughties comedy lampooning the rise of hipsters.
Nothing will beat Chewin the fat.

Inbetweeners FTW. They attempted to make a shitty American version of that show. What a travesty.
