Comedy's about the only thing the Brits still do best. You could call this a sub-channel, aiming for a collection of all the British sketch, situation and stand-up comedy on the Sift. In other words, anything where the main purpose of the event is to be funny, as opposed to ads, outtakes etc.

A special place to list videos that are a vote away from being promoted. Play Sift Programming Director if you like them, because you'll be sending them up to the Front Page immediately unless someone sneaks in a downvote.

We reserve the right to include worthy 7 to 8 vote vids when running short on 9's.

[description edited on July 29, 2009 in line with queue release upgrade from 10 votes to 15! ... then back down to 9 when the queue limit was rescinded down]

Looking for a video to promote... then look no further.

For those times when you can't turn the speakers up at work (or class ;)), or for those of us with hearing impairments. :)

Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry started their television career as a comedy duo in "A Little Bit of Fry & Laurie".

They have both gone on to other roles, including the "Jeeves and Wooster" series based on the books by P.G. Wodehouse; Stephen Fry's hosting of the British quiz show QI; and of course Hugh Laurie's brilliant role as Dr. Gregory House.

To top it off, Hugh and Laurie are best friends in real life. This playlist celebrates all videos containing either or both of these fine gentlemen.

Stephen Fry, one of the most intelligent, knowledgable and funny men on this planet and a British legend and icon

The clothes, the toys, the tv, especially the music.... Yeah!

The genius that is Ricky, one of the reasons that British comedy is so damn good these days. The Office, Extras and any interviews, voiceovers or snippets with him in it, belong in this playlist.

Ever acerbic, always sarcastic, yet strangely endearing British comedian Jimmy Carr. Stand-up, panel shows, interviews etc

These guys seem to be unstoppable right now. Offering the greatest sketches, the hilarious Peep Show, numerous appearances on comedy gameshows and even a couple of films

America's finest news source.

Dozens of probationary member's sifts vanish away in the queue without much notice. Some come back and try again, but many just don't have the strength or will to try again.

It doesn't have to be this way......With your help these Newbies can get the support they need to survive. Just one vote per day could make a difference. We waste so much more than that in one visit. You CAN make a difference.

In the time it took you to read this introduction, a newbie sift could have already died.

TED talks.

The best speakers with the most amazing topics. What do you want more.

Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."

The world's greatest improv comedy show from television.

A tribute to the world's greatest comediennes.

Got an unsifted Bravo tagged video? Put it in here so I can keep tabs and promote as needed.
If you would like the POWAH to add videos then drop me a message.

Videos must be tagged Bravo to be allowed onto the playlist.
Videos that are tagged Bravo but don't fit the channel will be removed and I will remove the Bravo tag.

Just videos with notable thumbnails that either made you go 'hmmmm...' or 'hmmm?' or 'hmmm!'.
Misleading fake thumbnails (mid-point frame) videos have been removed.
