Getting back to movies for a minute, and keeping with the Christmas theme.
The ending sequence of Home Alone when Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern try to break into Maculay Culkin's house on Christmas Eve might be the greatest sequence of physical comedy / slapstick released in my lifetime (39 years)

If we're moving into movies, this clip from Inglourious Basterds never fails to crack me up. "Bon giorno!" (In my best Southern accent.)

The ending sequence of Home Alone when Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern try to break into Maculay Culkin's house on Christmas Eve might be the greatest sequence of physical comedy / slapstick released in my lifetime (39 years) That is some of the funniest stuff ever, for sure, and no matter how many times I've seen it, it's still funny. I remember renting Home Alone and watching it with my family the year after it had come out - my stepdad had never seen it, and I don't think I'd ever seen anyone laugh so hard in my life, which made it all the more funnier. As far as funny moments from Christmas movies, this is a close second - the flying saucer scene from Christmas Vacation. This is another one that never gets old for me.

Christmas Vacation is my all time favorite Christmas movie. Like Home Alone, written by the great John Hughes.

I'm going to praise an old sitcom that is more or less forgotten, or at best remembered as a cheesy show from another era with an annoying catch phrase ... but it's a show that I think was comedy gold.
Perfect Strangers. You might just remember Bronson Pinchot's Balki Bartokamous saying in his heavy, vaguely Balkan European accent, "don't be ridiculous."
But to me, that show was a master class in broad physical comedy. Pinchot and Mark Linn Baker were great at back-and-forth or simultaneous physical silliness. The timing was also broad, as if for the stage: make it big, and pause, so everyone gets it. It's far from the subtlety that has become more common with mockumentary comedy, for example, where it's unsaid lines or facial expressions to the camera that get the laugh. But it's no less hilarious.
I won't claim the below is the perfect example, but it's one that I found quickly.

Perfect Strangers was my favorite show on the ABC TGIF Friday night lineup. Its also the only one that wasn't sickly sweet at times.

One for the Brits now. The heroes of The Full Monty (1997), laid-off Sheffield steel workers who hope to earn a tidy amount with a one-off public strip show, hear one of their act's songs while down the unemployment exchange to collect their dole money: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Full_Monty

Speaking of that lineup a little later, I'm also a big fan (for similar reasons) of Boy Meets World. Ben Savage was like an old Borscht Belt comic by age 13, while Will Friedle was a broad goofy clown (especially in the later years).
