A lot of Nigerian TV stations show foreign comedies (typically American) from time to time. Others get to watch these comedies on locally available digital satellite TV. What are your favorite foreign comedies?

The comedies I love the most are:
'Friends': Joey the struggling actor, Rachel the pretty thing, Ross the professor and 'most married man' in the show, Monica the control freak, Chandler her 'joker' husband, and Phoebe, the massage therapist and author of the infamous 'Smelly Cat' song.

'Dharma and Greg' 8.30pm every Friday on STV (Silverbird Television). I love Dharma because she accepts everybody and everything. Greg because Dharma's antics haven't driven him crazy - yet!

'My Wife and Kids' In my opinion, the only black comedy that is actually funny - sometimes.

The Comedies I don't like that much:
'Martins' I hate most black comedies.
The 'Bernie Mac' Show: Did I mention hating most black comedies?

@Seun, that's funny becasue the really funny commedies are black comedies. In my opinion, at least.

My wife and kids: I find really hilarious most of the time. I constantly pray not be unfortunate enough to have a dumb kid like junior.

Eve: While not so funny, is really nice

Half and half: I think the 2 mothers are really insane

The others elude me now, work and all......

be back shortly

my favourite shows are

Seinfeld: I like the cranky Kramer

Friends:I like Ross because in spite of being so smart academically, he can be quite dumb. I like Joey too

Frasier: Niles is very funny. he is always trying to appear dignified and ends up falling on his face.

I like Bernie Mac cos of the boy(can't remember his name)

I like a whole lot of american commedies because they keep me laughing. when watching em most peeps who see me but don't dig the show will be like "is this guy mad?". anyway among my favourites are

the simpsons..although it's a cartoon
one on one
the parkers
that 70's show
the drew carey show
malcolm in the middle

can't remember any other right now. peace!

Hey Seun, do you miss out of the fun, or do you miss out of the fun?

Man, those black brodas and sisters are the funny guys. I have not seen a funny white fellow after Frank Spencer (Some Mothers Do Have Them) and Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean)

Now Mr. Bean is completely out of this world. He is exceptionally good at what he does. If you've seen Johnny English, you'll understand what I mean.

Yeah. I remember Frank Spencer. Those two belong to the same category of comedy, but I've forgotten what it's called.

There are so many foreign comedies that are really great, unfortunately most of them are on dstv which is just sad. I personally love

Six feet under - Its amazing how a series set around a funeral home could be so funny!
Malcom in the middle - excellent to watch
Joey - Not as good as friends, but a good substitute with quite a number of laughs
Two and a half men - you'll definitely laugh at this one
Half and Half - They are all insane especially the mothers
Eve - good all fashioned black comedy, not too bad or as bad as some judge it
Scrubs - One of my personal favourites, highly original, extremely funny, I have seasons 1-3 on dvd, its insane, you'll nearly die laughing.

Can't think of the others right now, but one things for sure, there are good shows out there

I forgot to mention the Bill Cosby Show. Definitely one black movie that I think is funny.

Anyone knows if Taina is still aired on any channel? Used to be on Nicklodeon.

i love my wife and kids, taina, bill cosby show, becker, the parkers, thats all . and yes taina is still aired on LTV but i have forgotten d actual time

Hmmm Seun...did you get to see The Jeffersons and Good Times back in the days? Now those were really funny black comedies.

I must go with seun on this, I do not really like black comedies.

My fave show was Seinfeld, I loved the character of George in that.
Currently I like Malcom in the Middle and the Office.

I saw a nigerian commedy recently and I almost cracked my ribs with mirth. Goodness! Those guys are good. It's entitled A Night of a Thousand Laughs with a group of stand-up comedians. My favourites were some really young guy called Basket Mouth and another guy who seems perpetually drunk (that's his trade-mark, I guess).

I really enjoyed it.

I have seen that and I loved it as well, my favourite was the one called "I go die" he was always dissing warri!

I have 4 different ones, are there more than four?

Ra, that guy with the drunken act is called Clint the drunk....

I love all UPN shows. I love half and half so much, i love eve so much.

comedy- Martin Lawrence

As far as I'm concerned the crack very dry jokes and the amazing thing is that they actually laugh at them, when as far as I'm concerned they are boring,i very much agree with you Seun hat the funny comedians are black and i must say African.

Seun don't tell me you are a racist too!!!!! coupled with the virginity.

I think both black and white comedies are really funny .
My favorites however are Fresh prince of Bel air( really old but don't ever miss to watch it on go channel 84), like eve , friends and veronica's closet. not forgetting our very own papa ajasco.

Why is everyone calling seun a virgin?? Please leave (my) seun alone.
