Obviously the funniest show ever is Seinfeld, but i want to see other recommendations for the 2nd best funniest show to see during these dark times

and no one tell me it's Friends, i saw some clips if it on youtube and i don't find it as funny as when i watched it years ago

 

[O-N-E]

It's probably a three-way tie between Seinfeld, Curb, and Arrested Development.

30 Rock is really high up there though.

 

[GoldenEye Samurai]

Chappelle’s Show.

 

[Nymphae]

Bottom is fantastic

 

[Ikutachi]

South Park.

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

Father Ted

 

[haxan7]

Best sitcom for me is Peep Show.

Funny is subjective and an individual’s experience will change over time and with subsequent viewings. Peep Show holds up as entertaining even after dozens of complete viewings.

 

[MetalAlien]

Bottom is fantastic

I like where you are going but you jussssssssttt missed the mark...

I never got into that, I tried a few times but it wasn't clicking with me. Rick Mayal is always a treat though. I love his character and performances in Bottom so much.

I grew up with that show and of course have them all... I could watch them forever.

I’m going to get so much crap for this, as the series became a parody of itself (and not in a good way) eventually.

Early - mid Family Guy is great. Or was. They do a lot of pop culture references, so I kind of wonder how that’s held up. But this show gave me some of the funniest moments I’ve ever seen on TV while it was good.

South Park and American Dad are defo up there too.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Obviously it’s entirely subjective but for my money, no show has made me laugh harder than Eastbound and Down. Laugh out loud hysterical

 

[hariseldon]

1. Father Ted
2. Peep Show
3. US Office
4. 30 Rock

Easy.

 

[DKehoe]

Prime Simpsons

 

[DragoonKain]

Curb

Larry David the GOAT.

 

[WhiskeyDiver]

BAZINGA.

Spoiler

I dunno. I always had a good laugh or 4 with Cheers and Frasier. I wouldn't call them the funniest, but they do have sustained quality humor throughout their runs.

 

[Husky]

I haven't seen many sitcoms, but The IT Crowd and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia sure get me going.

I love everything about this show except the last season. I watch it a few times a year.

 

[MastAndo]

 

[ManaByte]

I would say Simpsons in its Prime.

But Seinfeld is consistently good.

 

[Shizumapower]

Big Bang Theory obviously. Haha nerdy!

 

[Shizumapower]

Serious answer:

Seinfeld
Cheers
The Simpsons
The Office
Curb

Friends

 

[diffusionx]

30 Rock

 

[MetalAlien]

My 2nd choice would be...

 

[KRod]

I would say Simpsons in its Prime.

But Seinfeld is consistently good.

This is the comment I was looking for

 

[autoduelist]

Father ted, as suggested above, is fantastic.

community is also great. Rewatching it now. 1st season is only 10 years old, but wonderfully pre-woke. 2nd episode has blackface-ish joke, retard joke, harassment jokes. And it’s funny as hell.

30 rock is excellent.

parks and rec is funny 2nd season, but it gets downright terrible by the end.

wkrp and news radio are older funny shows. Taxi too.

 

[Papa]

Simpsons and South Park win by default, so it’s kinda unfair.

Excluding those two, I’d have to say Always Sunny.

 

[Lionel Richie]

The only correct answer is Aqua Teen.

 

[RavenSan]

Depends I guess.

For a sitcom I'd say Arrested Development, hands down.

For a sketch show? Mr. Show

 

[Super Mario]

Seinfeld is the funniest show of all time. Its episodes are all over 20 years old, and the only dated material on it is the setting. It has iconic lines still mentioned to this day. Amazing characters.

I will also give honorable mention to Chappelle Show, Simpsons, and South Park.

 

[Hinedorf]

For me it's no contest.

 

[Tesseract]

good recs itt

fawlty towers is fun

 

[triplestation]

cartoon: the simpsons

non-cartoon: malcolm in the middle

 

[Meowzers]

Only Fools and Horses.

If you think any different then you're a total plonker.

 

[Meowzers]

Bottom is fantastic

I hardly think a bus surfing British Gas engineer that needs not check on Eddie and Ritchie's gas supply for the next 300 years to be that funny.

Though I will by you a coca cola in good faith to change your mind.

 

[WhiskeyDiver]

For me it's no contest.

Married With Children was quite inventive and out there. I don't remember another show that had a sentient chicken that had TWO human male husbands, and said chicken always had a nice paying job.

 

[haxan7]

I love everything about this show except the last season. I watch it a few times a year.

Same here. I stopped counting at 6 times through. That was 2011/2012.

I stand by the recommendation purely on the basis of Mayall's performances, the man was a genius. But yeah it's probably not in contention for absolute funniest show of all time.

I would probably have to go with The Simpsons.

If going by the earlier series I understand. I can't watch Simpsons from the modern era.

Honestly, the new series the gypsies swear by them as in ''What the hell is this?''

I'd eat the sprouts of evil to have seen a 90's Simpsons movie.

 

[chitzy]

It's tough to nail one down because shows can fall off the big time over the time (Simpsons is the obvious one). Episodes within a season can even be very hit or miss. Personally I would say that I got the most laughs per minute out of top tier episodes of Family Guy and American Dad.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Let me think about that really hard.

I liked Red Dwarf quite alot.

 

[Rival]

Seinfeld without question for me. Also love Curb, The Office, Always Sunny, Two and a Half Men, and Flight of the Conchords. What We Do in the Shadows is a current favorite.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Wonder Showzen
Upright Citizens Brigade
Arrested Development

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

The Simpsons for me.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Married with Children

 

[GreyHorace]

No one's mentioned this classic?




The Benny Hill Show too is a close second.

 

[H4ze]

Scrubs, until the day I die.

 

[Halo is Back]

Seinfeld is masterful comedy oh and trailer park boys is the best stupid comedy out there bar none imo

This is one of my favs

 

[hariseldon]

Big Bang Theory obviously. Haha nerdy!

Honestly I’ve tried but it just isn’t funny.
