We all have our favourite TV comedies over the years. But every now and then you're reminded of a line from such a show which you know will live forever and sums up what the show was about.
One of my very favourite shows was The Office (not the US one, the original). In series 1 episode 4, the training day episode, David Brent is doing his best to assert his authority over the external trainer who has come in to lead the session.
They take turns in doing a role-play playing a customer and a hotel desk clerk so as to emphasise to the group an example of poor customer service.
For me, this scene will live forever and will be referred back to for a hundred years, or however long it is people care about comedy.
Can you distill your favourite comedy down to just one beautiful line which sums it all up for you? Do fork handles or dead parrots float your boat?
