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
 
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.

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.

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

Excluding those two, I'd have to say Always Sunny.
 
Depends I guess.

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

For a sketch show? Mr. Show
 
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.

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.

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.
 
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.

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.
