Good question.
Possibly; my earliest exposure to professional humour was radio. Mainly British comedy, such as the Goons and "Take it from here" .Also an hilarious, pure Aussie show "Life With Dexter" . Aussie sense of humour tends to be rather dry.
TV: Again British, "Steptoe and Son" "T'ill death us to part". Favourite series of all time; "Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister. Didn't like' The Office'. Don't like grotesques.
Later: I though Seinfeld was as funny as cancer and loathed Raymond. Loved ' LA law' and quite like 'The Big Bang"
Favourite comedy films in the last decade; "Snatch" "The Commitments" and "The Van". Can't stand Will Farrell or that Sanders bloke. Liked Jim Carey for about 10 minutes. Favourite stand up; George Carlin. Can't stand alleged Aussie comedian Jim Jeffries, Quite like Fluffy.
Monty Python goes without saying. A favourite sketch: MrCreosote
To answer the question: Not sure there is a definitive answer.
Clip: Mr Creosote . Caution, it's pretty gross AND includes "The Penis Song" We showed Mr Creosote at work, and one of the young women threw up
