hi do you know about any good scifi comedy? well, there's Spaceballs, Land of the lost, Galaxy quest, paul, ted(maybe)... any others?
Men in Black Movies are pretty Funny TV Series-wise Red Dwarf Series isn't bad. Old school we have Quark. Buck Rogers often devolved into being comical. Eureka has some pretty dramatic stuff, but, it's got alot of Quirky Humor (As does Warehouse 13, though it's more dramatic). Stargate SG-1 has alot of great one liners.
"Dark Star." "Sleeper" (with Woody Allen). Possibly "Barbarella," depending on your point of view. There's also "Galaxina," but that's best avoided.
Galaxy Quest. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Also (Since "good" is often in the eye of the beholder): Wikipedia list of Comedy_science_fiction_films
There were two pilots. One had a bloke as the cat, and the other had DS9's Terry Farrel. There was also a 20 minute documentary where the British cast tells sad stories about how management was plotting to destroy them.
The script for the other one is jiggered so that a potential love story is burgeoning between Lister and the Cat. I have dim memories of a recurring Starship Captain played by Kenny Everett on his sketch show. Has anyone ever seen Bottlestore Metallica?
Unfortunately, Terry Farrell played the Cat as a literal cat-creature. I would have preferred it if she'd played the role exactly like Danny John-Jules did.
Kenny Everett played Captain Kremmen. Futurama is the acme of TV Sci-Fi comedy. There's also plenty of SF-lit comedy -- my favorite is Galactic Pot-Healer by P K Dick.
the Ijon Tichy series, based on Stanislav Lem's Star Diaries, is rather popular in Germany, particularly in the former GDR: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ijon_Tichy:_Raumpilot I've seen it and found it rather boring, but when it comes to humour people are even more different than in their dietary preferences
For anyone who thinks British humor is subtle, I heartily recommend "Morons from Outer Space", with Griff Rhys Jones and the late Mel Smith. Aliens crash land on Earth and become instant celebrities, despite being idiots.
Futurama was the first one to enter my mind (naturally). Although pretty uneven, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has its moments.
I would even throw Archer out there. Not strictly sci fi, but there are some light sci fi elements now and then. It's also just a straight up awesome show.
Archer is the opposite of science fiction. It seems like modern day, but also they keep using tech that is systemic to the 1970s and 1980s. Well not the real seventies and eighties... If old Bond films were real.
