What's the funniest show of all time?

Nathan For You
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Arrested Development

Those are generally my top 3. Wonder Showzen was also really fucking funny, but nobody ever knows what I'm talking about when I bring it up.

Peep Show - I started watching this show and didn’t want to like it. The recommendation to watch it came from a friend who is super pushy about TV shows and movies. He would talk about Peep Show all the fucking time and I finally gave in and watched. Mark has to be one of the most relatable characters ever conceived. There are so many moments in the show where you just think “Jesus Mark, your perspective is so fucked that you are thinking the same thing I would.” It’s somewhat tragic, sweet, awkward, and fucking hilarious.

East Bound and Down - fucking lol. This show is just so stupidly funny. I don’t even know what to say. If you enjoy watching someone self destruct while making an absolute ass of himself and every single living thing he comes in contact with, this is your show.

It’s Always Sunny- While I don’t find myself bursting out in laughter at this show, there is a sort of slow burn humor that is ingrained in the relationships of the gang. I love this show.

I never laughed so much with a TV show as with Community. Just my kind of show. Some episodes had me LOLling irl the whole time. Neighbours must have thought I’m crazy.

Scrubs is also incredibly funny while being the most accurate portrait of life as a young doctor I’ve ever seen on TV.

I did love The Big Bang Theory in the first few seasons, and I followed the show until the very end. I know GAF hates TBBT and I can see why, but I dunno, I think it was funny for a while.

The Simpsons, Family Guy, Seinfeld etc are classics. Maybe not my favorites, but always funny to watch.

Sitcom-wise, it's the first few seasons of Frasier for me. Just incredibly well-written and witty.

New Girl and The Good Place are my current favorites. Although, I always find myself returning to Friends as well.

Currently watching my old DVDs of In Living Color. The fucking level of talent that were in those episodes! :goog_rofl: Also gotta give a shout out to Def Comedy Jam. Comic genius there too.
I had to import the In Living Color DVD's from the United States to Australia, but it was worth it. A great show with a variety of talented actors that I keep seeing in random 90s movies.

S Shrinky Dink is right, british comedies are far better on average

other good ones include:

  • Mitchell and webb
  • Yes Minister
  • The Office (UK)
  • The IT Crowd
  • A Bit of Fry & Laurie

The Simpsons kills it against any show due to its appeal to almost any audience; kids, teens, parents, families, singles, occupations, events etc. A broad appeal with jokes and character specificity. Almost none of the other shows in this thread can say the same.

For me, it's between The Venture Bros, The Harley Quinn series, Frisky Dingo (and the 2 Xtacle episodes) and
 

Compsiox

The Office made me laugh consistently.

I'd say Kim's Convenience is next in line.

Edit: Yikes i didnt even realize I posted in this thread already. I'm braindead.
