The new influx of sitcoms are pretty boring in my opinion 
So, if you were to create a new sitcom, what would it be?

Just base it around a group of lads lads. Have them go out drinking together. Shagging birds every so often. Farting on each other.
The possibilities are endless.

I agree sitcoms are getting boring, especially American studio/audience-based ones. New sitcoms should be about people in unique and extreme situations.
Here are a few of my ideas:
An out-of-work chimney sweep.
A group of rollercoaster operators. (Joke suggestion: "He's going loopy.")
The bloke from the Halifax advert.
BAFTAs are guaranteed.

Men Behaving Badly
Coupling

Well, I would hire Dylan Moran to make new Black Books. 
And continue some other series as well, since I have no ideas.

the young ones was good but outdated. A proper, modern uni sitcom would be good.
1 episode: **** a fresher week - the guys go out trying to nail voulnerable fresher girls, with hilarious consequences!

Otis the Aardvark, who used to present CBBC, could star as a freelance plastic surgeon.

Myself and a friend at uni are trying to write our own sit-com, but it's actually pretty difficult to think what hasn't been done. We have the characters pretty sorted now, though, I think it has potential if we work hard on it.

I mean, Seinfeld? What the hell was that? Four people talking about nothing. For nine seasons. And bloody good it was (eventually).

As someone who's tried but never quite finished - it really is a bad idea to base a sitcom on something obvious, like "doctors", "teachers", "geeks" etc and just go from there, as more often than not the characters just end up as complete two-dimensional caricatures (see: The Big Bang Theory, The IT Crowd, etc). Focus on doing a decent, complex set of characters first, and if they're good enough, and if the stories are good enough, no-one'll care what they do. Seems you're mostly there...
