The Top 5 moments from British sitcom, Only Fools and Horses. Starring David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst.
5. Coach Blows Up (Jolly Boys Outing)
A classic moment of comedy timing in this episode. On their Jolly Boys Outing Rodney, Del and friends are in Margate but chaos ensues and everyone is left stranded after a pure moment of comedy gold. As Rodney tells Cassandra "I think it is unfair to say that everything he (Del) touches goes wrong" another Del-related disaster ensues and their coach explodes in the background, prompting a hilarious expression from a shocked Rodney!
4. The Chandelier (A Touch of Glass)
Even though the audience knows what is coming this comedy moment is hysterically funny. Apparently based on a real-life accident by writer John Sullivan's father, Del, Rodney and Granddad are working on chandeliers when the work all goes wrong. As Del and Rodney hold a blanket under the chandelier Granddad unscrews the bolt from above but in a classic comedy moment the wrong chandelier falls and smashes and the Trotters make a quick get away!
3. The Blow Up Dolls (Danger UXD)
It may not be number one but this iconic scene is defiantly one of the funniest scenes in Only Fools and Horses history. A clip you can't help not laugh at however many times you have seen it. As the Trotters sit round in the lounge Del, Rodney and Albert are startled as blow up dolls (dolls filled with gas that Del has has taken from Denzil) inflate and appear from behind the cocktail bar. As they all run out the flat terrified, the audience is given great laughs by this immensely funny Only Fools and Horses joke.
2. Batman and Robin (Heroes and Villains)
Whether it is the costumes, the music, the timing or the expression of the Councillor Murray (or a bit of everything) that makes this moment hilarious, this scene is classic Only Fools and Horses. As Del and Rodney dress up as Batman and Robin for a fancy dress party their van breaks down and Batman and Robin come to the rescue of a shocked Councillor...

1. Del falls through bar (Yuppy Love)
This moment is simply the most iconic in the show's history. Based around only Del and Trigger a simple joke is made into one of the best television comedy moments ever. At a wine bar Del is flirting with women with Trigger and in his attempt to "play it nice and cool" Del (and the hapless Trigger as he spins around to look for the fallen Del) provide us with the best moment in Only Fools and Horses...

These may be the top five moments but Only Fools and Horses provided many more laughs. From Tony Angelino's 'cwying', the hapless but hysterical character of Trigger and the endless list of classic catchphrases ('Cushty', 'Rodney, you plonker' etc..) the show is a British comedy great.
