I will say that when the Two Ronnies hit....they hit BIG. I consider their Mastermind Sketch to be probably one of the most inventive things to ever hit TV.

The Two Ronnies is great but had quite a few sketches that don’t hold up well for modern audiences. But one of the great things about sketch comedy is that you can repackage them for “best of” shows losing the problematic sketches.

I generally grade on a curve for lists like this from US websites.

You left out my all time fave, Exit 57!

Is he packing a Fat Man or a Little Boy?

Marcus: “Indy! The Nazis have recovered the Staff of Moses and are delivering it to Hitler as we speak!”

They should’ve giftwrapped the Lost Ark and parachuted it into downtown Berlin. God’s screaming murder ghosts would’ve taken care of business in about 30 seconds.

Just have the hero leisurely wander in a couple weeks after they were made aware of said occult shit and have them chuckle at all the pillars of salt wearing Hugo Boss that are standing around an ancient talisman or something. 

Just one time I’d like to see one of these “OH NOES THE NAZIS ARE TRYING OCCULT SHIT AGAIN” stories where the hero is like “Nah, no worries, they absolutely WILL fuck it up.”

Is Trev gonna take over Pesto’s Pizzeria?

It's going to be difficult for him to enter a plea because every time he starts talking he falls backwards into a display rack full of thimbles.

I was ready to argue with you, but that was the year that I started my freshman year of college with braces, so, yeah, not much to recommend it.

Listen, 1995 was a very bad time for comic books. 

Like many people, I rented it with friends (yeah I’m old) not really knowing what we were going to see. It certainly left an impression. 

This.  I remember the first time I saw Evil Dead, and I most definitely did not read it as comedic.  It remains today one of the most unsettling and memorable movie viewing experiences I can recall having.

Yeah, I’ve only seen the remake specifically because I heard it was less gnarly than the original.

It can be argued that 1981’s The Evil Dead, made on a shoestring budget when director Sam Raimi was barely 21, kicked off the 1980s boom in horror comedy [...] the 2013 Evil Dead remake was a more or less humorless repeat of Raimi’s first feature, and it failed to measure up to its predecessors
