Here's the freshest nuggets of comedy that we're bringing to you, crack them open and you'll find they're juicy inside.

South Park - Series 11
Wednesdays at 8.30pm
All new episodes

Eleven seasons in and still causing social outrage – pretty good for a couple of guys, some crepe paper and the balls to tell the jokes that no one else dared. South Park is the Emmy-award winning animated show about four boys living in one screwed-up town in Colorado, USA, Earth. South Park deals with any and every social prohibited topic around and handles them with disparaging humour and biting cultural commentary. It’s the crude animation that averages 126 instances of sex/violence/foul language per half-hour and goes further than any other comedy series has ever gone before.

The epic season gives you Night of the Living Homeless, Guitar Queer-o and the Imaginationland three-parter and more! You'll love it so much you might need an accountabilibuddy.

'Allo 'Allo!
Sacre Bleu! A Comodie Chanel Prem-ee-errre Zeries
Sundays at 8.30pm

Good moaning, plees lissen, I vill only zay zis once...

Meet Rene, the most wanted man in occupied France. Women want his body. The Resistance want his brain. And the Nazis want his sausage. In a small cafe in Nouvion, France, this harassed proprietor is having a difficult war. With the German Army in residence at the bar, Rene is risking his neck to aid the Resistance by hiding two British airmen and a radio transmitter upstairs.

As if this wasn't enough, Rene has also got involved in hiding a priceless painting (Ze Fallen Madonna Wiss Ze Big Boobies) in a garlic sausage, which even now is being sniffed out by the Gestapo. But Rene's real problem is his wife, Edith, and what she will do to him when she finds out about his affairs with two sexy waitresses.

French & Saunders
CHANNEL PREMIERE SERIES
Sundays Aug 3, 31 and Sept 14 & 28 at 9pm

One of Britain's best loved comedy duos, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders return in full splendor! Although each has also gained great fame individually (in The Vicar of Dibley and Absolutely Fabulous, respectively), delightfully ridiculous things happen when they combine their powers - you know, like Shazam.

French & Saunders is crazed and surreal humour they could never fit into any other forum with a quirky mixture of satire, slapstick & impressions. Sketches feature old favourites and new characters and the TV and film parodies they’re famous for, including Rosemary & Thyme, Troy and Kill Bill all getting a roasting. Weaving in and out of the comic routines is a meta-sketch about the creation of the series as French and Saunders go “behind the scenes” at the BBC and struggle to come up with ideas for their series. This series. It’s complicated…
