I think The office can be pretty clever, acctually.

Exactly what I was thinking. The British "the office" was very clever, albeit silly at times :)

Family Guy is actually clever. They have political meanings behind a lot of the jokes. Some are perverted though.

The american office is clownish and borders on retarded, but the british one is very pointed and witty and every bit as clever as the others you've named. Not sure which you were referring to.

The Simpsons used to be quite intelligent. But nowadays the quality has been diluted and has become pretty average.

Monty Python? Clever humor? You clearly do not know what Monty Python is; a myriad of unrelated and nonsensical cracks that constantly border on obscene and take the viewer by surprise. Yes, Monty Python is hilarious and time-honored, but clever? Merely wildly unconventional. Read the sixteenth XKCD comic, for a highly insightful remark about Monty Python, and how the jokes are abused and run down. Yes, watching Monty Python (or the Flying Circus, of which I am also a fan) is wonderful, but it is not clever humor. Clever humor makes you think, or at the very least involves some kind of process. It may be better than Family Guy or the Simpsons, (I can't testify against the Office, because I have never seen a full episode of it) but that does not mean it is clever humor.
