The Ricky Gervais Show
An Idiot Abroad
That should be a good start
And give We Can Be Heroes and Summer Heights High a shot. Australian shows, but absolutely hilarious. Chris Lilley is awesome.

Also:
-Life's too short.
-Never Mind the Buzzcocks (technically a game show, but it's hilarious)
-Coupling
-Episodes (though it's not strictly a pure English comedy, it definitely had that feel to it)
-Little Britain/Come Fly With Me
will post more as it comes to me...

"How not to live your life" is a great one. its about a guy who seems lost around his life. His grandma dies and he gets her house along with grandma's assistant/butler/male maid. to pay for the house he rents it out to a girl (the hot chick to continue to watch the show for) he likes but turns out that she brings her BF. the show has a lot of "flashbacks/possible choices" like in the beginning of this episode

Please watch Peep Show. It's on Hulu (or was) and definitely on Netflix. It's the most uncomfortable yet hilarious thing going.

I am impressed that you guys know shows like How not to live your life and Coupling as well as stuff like Summer Heights High!
There always seem to be this myth that Americans don't "get" the British or Aussie sense of humor -yet every American I've come across understands our sarcasm and wit perfectly fine.
This goes without saying -Anything with Ricky, Steve or the little round headed twonk is a must.
I'm a big fan of everything mentioned so far
But just to also add a few of my personal favorites:
Not going out
The Royle family
Game on

all of this... i also find the geordie shore
the language they use is funny...
thing about all these shows is that sometimes their accent is thick as hell but eventually you catch on and you get everything they're saying...

Greatest comedy show ever put on TV. Only 12 episodes, so not much in terms of quantity, but the quality is superb. Made almost 40 years ago and as hilarious as ever.
