Likely Lads the movie.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but Papa Lazarou's "your my wife now" always tickled my ribs...some brilliant characters in TLOG.

A couple of Frank Drebin quotes from Police Squad:
"We're sorry to bother you at a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then''
and
"Who are you and how did you get in here?"
"I'm a locksmith. And I'm a locksmith".
"I'm a locksmith. And I'm a locksmith" is one of the most perfectly crafted lines in the history of comedy, imo. There might have been funnier lines, but the way the set-up line is so natural, and the symmetry and economy of language used in the punchline (brevity being the soul of wit, and all that) has never been bettered.
Of course as the great Barry Cryer said, analysing comedy is like dissecting a frog - nobody laughs and the frog dies.
