Dan Harmon actually tweeted: "The cheers-mash thing was just my segue from Jeff/Duncan to Abed/Troy. John Oliver ad-libbed Fawlty Towers. Pretty great."
@lovellespice - Fawlty Towers was an English sitcom from the 70s. Abed names a better sitcom than Cheers, MASH and Duncan names an even better one, from his country, Fawlty Towers, therefore he wins.
@seoul2k11 - of course it's predictable when you know it's going to happen. And of course it's not going to be as funny when you watch it out of context. If you don't like Fawlty Towers there is something wrong with you.
Comparing Fawlty Towers and Mr Bean just makes you look ignorant.
@the1musiclad I just think Fawlty Towers looks like losers humor and sucks balls. Obviously I only saw a couple of clips so no thourough studies on the show, but I´m pretty sure I would continue hating it. Not accepting people on hating your favourite show makes YOU look ignorant dude ~~
@mas9288 Its just the quick exchange. How they're having a conversation and it turns into that. Also because pretty much everything John Oliver says is hilarious.
@MrGameandPichu Yeah pretty much. They just randomly start playing a game and I love how Duncan just goes along with it. Of course Abed is going to be strange, but Duncan just acts like it's totally normal to start a game of 'let's name random sitcoms'. Abed looks so surprised that someone actually responded.
@mas9288 the joke is that jeff says cheers to mock duncan b/c the british say that as a toast. abed hears him and thinks jeff is referring to the show cheers so he says MASH, another show. then duncan finishes it off by saying Fawlty Towers, a british sitcom. it's just random which is why it's funny :)
I miss John Oliver so much.

Fawlty Towers is the best old sitcom, Community is the best new sitcom. Neither are better in my books.
That's fair isn't it?

Just checked this beating his car... one of the least funny things I´ve ever seen. Reminds me of Mr.Bean... predictable and stupid...

it's about what country produces the best sitcoms and it was game over because faulty towers automatically wins because it rules
