I like watching good comedies, any suggestions down in the comments would be wonderful.

I have loved watching IT Crowd, Big Bang Theory, Seinfeld, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The King of Queens, Cunk of Earth, Cunk of Britain, pretty much all of Ricky Gervais, and more shows that I'm not recalling at the moment.

Edit: I've also watched Psych, The Good Place, B99, Black Books, Third Rock From The Sun, Parks and Rec, Superstore, and Silicon Valley

COMMUNITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I may get back into it again since everybody keeps suggesting it to me

[-] AndrewZabar@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

It’s streets ahead!

[-] six_arm_spider_man@reddthat.com 10 points 1 year ago

Didn't spot 30 Rock, so I'll put that suggestion in

Also 100% agree with everyone who suggested Community

[-] eldopgergan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago
[-] HollandJim@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Add to that Schmiggadoon!, Shrinking and Trying... appleTV+ has some excellent comedies, many now in second and third seasons so plenty to binge!

[-] AndrewZabar@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’m absolutely loving “What We Do In The Shadows”

Older shows I still rewatch include Community and Psych. Both are absolutely extraordinary.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Psych is my all time favorite show. I don't think Community stands a chance but that's just my opinion.

[-] AndrewZabar@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I think they’re still in the middle of making the fourth Psych movie.

[-] brianrlawson@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

My warm, comfy, tried-and-true go-to is Scrubs. Funny, heartfelt, an in the upper echelon of quick biting wit.

[-] moonbairn@lemmy.film 5 points 1 year ago

Poker Face starring Natasha Lyonne on Peacock.

[-] leftabitcharlie@lemmy.film 5 points 1 year ago

I feel like you'd like Ted Lasso, also second the users who've said Ghosts (both US and UK).

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Ted Lasso is amazing. The recent episodes are a bit different, I'm interested in the development of the show with the direction their heading on.

[-] leftabitcharlie@lemmy.film 3 points 1 year ago

I think the tone is really reminiscent of stuff like Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill or Love Actually. Even though it got a bit more sad this season, it's very wholesome and easy to watch.

[-] HollandJim@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't call it "sad" at all - each character has developed so they're much more self-aware, and some have developed goals which may not be what people expect. It's refreshing to see a comedy where characters aren't stuck in stereotypes but actually grow.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks for being so amazing guys. Last time I made a recommendation post on Reddit, nobody gave me any comments.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

I'm going to suggest some older shows, they may be hard to find on streaming, but they are on physical media:

NewsRadio:

Titus:

Kevin Can Fuck himself sounds like an interesting show.

[-] itscherriedbro@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It's freaking amazing. Hooked me right away

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Just tried out an episode. It's a little too dark for me.

[-] itscherriedbro@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Well hopefully some of the other shows can fulfill what you're looking for! I highly recommend trial & error to everyone I run into.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I tried Trial & Error. Didn't really like it. However, I have been liking Veep so far. It reminds me of a more friendly The Thick Of It.

[-] itscherriedbro@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Well hopefully some of the other shows can fulfill what you're looking for! I highly recommend trial & error to everyone I run into.

[-] miu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I big time vouch for Joe Pera Talks With You. Not enough people talk about it. It's so comfy, so funny, and goes by quicker than you want it to. Perfect show!

Oh how did I forget about Arrested Development? Amazing show, at least for the first 3 seasons.

Season 4 was kind of a dud for me, and I didn't finish season 5.

[-] modulartable@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

100% agreed and don't forget there's always money in the banana stand!

[-] six_arm_spider_man@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Helpful when you may have committed a little light treason

[-] tegs_terry@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Two British reccs fore you: Peep Show and Alan Partridge. Both are genius, as in constantly hilarious throughout with no gaps.

[-] Polo421@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

One of my favorite people is Andy Daly. Check out his show called "Review" that was on Comedy Central a few years ago. There's 3 seasons of some really funny shit.

[-] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

'Dead Lile Me' is a good comedy series. A bit niche, maybe, but really good nontheless.

[-] pinwurm@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

If you like IT Crowd, then Black Books is for you. One of the best comedies of that era. Start with the Grapes of Wrath Episode.

Peep Show is also great.

[-] Kreg@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

"Nirvana the band the show" is probably my favorite comedy show of all time, and barely anyone knows about it.

Before they made the tv show they had a web series that made this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_qnI1WrlnU

Well since you mentioned B99 which is the current show I'm watching it's worth to mention the other three I have watched so far (that I remember):

Malcolm in the Middle, Friends and The Office US.
