What comedy makes you laugh out loud?

I need more laughter in my life! I rarely watch tv, but I have Netflix and obviously access to internet and freeview. What do you recommend that will make me laugh?

I don't think I'm too fussy in the way of comedy. Although can't stand things like Mrs Brown's Boys.

So many of these and also Cuckoo. When Greg Davies takes e and gets dressed up like Dexy's lead singer and he and Cuckoo crash a party. Weeing yourself funny. Or when he shoots the cat, a reincarnation of Grandma. Cracking stuff.

Revisiting this. I tried Cabin pressure while I was in the car a few days ago. Managed about 15 minutes. No laughs, or even smiles, were forthcoming.

Am I broken? I think I am a bit.

I also tried something else...... Can't remember the name now! A sketch show.

It was "I think you should leave now

Do I try cabin pressure again? Reading back, people think it's hilarious.

Modern Family.

Is Derry Girls on Netflix or Prime?

Motherland is brilliant!

It’s a UK comedy from 2017 that you can find on iTunes - NOT the Netflix series about a maternity hospital in the Philippines!

It’s very, very funny though Grin

Started afterlife. I think I'm as miserable as the Ricky Gervais character. It is amusing me though.
