I love Chapelle's Show, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Jane The Virgin, Malcolm in the Middle, Married with Children, Master of None, Orange is the New Black, Seinfeld, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

I love animated comedy shows too such as Bojack Horseman, Rick and Morty and The Simpsons (pre 10 seasons). I love these!

How is Curb Your Enthusiasm by Larry David? I haven't watch an episode from it yet. How is it compared to Seinfeld? What amazing comedy shows have I been missing out? By amazing, I mean the show is a must watch before I die
laughing.

I might take a look at 3rd Rock from the Sun, 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Community, Louie, Nathan For You, Parks and Recreation Peep Show, and The Larry Sanders Show.

Glad to see you were missing out on your, Curb.

It's like more Seinfeld, you don't need more convincing.

Curb is a great show, has a lot of funny awkward humor to it.

I'd also recommend Community if you haven't seen it. One of the creators of Rick and Morty created it and it's pretty entertaining stuff. Just that Season 1 starts off pretty weak but gets better at the end especially with the Paintball episodes.

Edit: Parks and Rec, 30 Rock are also great. Bob's Burgers is fantastic, one of Fox's better animated shows.

Parks and rec

The only comedy show that doesnt resort to mean sarcastic digs all the time and has some genuine feel good moments.

Curb your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development(although I am certain you've seen it), Key and Peele, Broad City, Archer (animated), Bob's Burgers (S2 onward, animated). Are all great.

Archer is fantastic and if you liked bojack horseman you'll most definitely like it.

Curb is more of a slow roller, amazing, but not as laugh out loud as Seinfeld was.

I'll throw my support in for Peep Show, 30 Rock, Happy Endings, and Veep. I think they're four different kinds of show, but they're all crazy funny. I'd be surprised if you didn't love at least one of them, with that list you've got.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Try out Bob's Burgers. It takes a few episodes for the show to get going but once the ball starts rolling it doesn't stop!

Seriously its probably one of the best animated shows out there right now, I'd put up there with Rick and Morty easily. Also H. Jon Benjamin

Yep. Me too friend.

Most influential comedy of the last quarter century. Without it there would be no Curb, no The Office, no Louie, basically no comedies without live audience / laugh track.

I was snobby about Parks and Rec ("Doesn't look very funny") until I watched it. Turned out to really enjoy it.

Definitely watch Curb.

Try some animated things you may or may not have heard of: Frisky Dingo, Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Seasons 1-7 I think probably the best), Code Monkeys (only made it 2 seasons I think but I liked it).

While I appreciate how great Seinfeld is, as a Brit, I prefer the type of humour in Curb far more. If you liked The Office, you'll really enjoy Curb. I cannot recommend it enough.

I see you like Jane the Virgin. Excellent taste.

Now watch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The two are very similar in their sort of "grounded" zaniness.

Also, Nathan For You is perfection.

And for animation, American Dad S2-9.
