Can someone please tell me what funny tv is about ?

[Twilbury]

I am so fed up of this shitshow of a half life we are all living and need cheering up.

I have Netflix and Prime but am struggling to find something to make me laugh at the moment.

DH and I were talking about the Office this morning. He thinks it's hilarious; I can't see it. OTH I think Mrs Brown's Boys is funny. He thinks it's horrendous.

We both agree about Mr Bean and Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Am. Awful.

We both find On The Buses Funny. And Tommy Cooper but I just don't get Morecambe and Wise.

Aww yeah Kath and kim.

If it's still streaming then Toast of London is my favourite. That or the Thick of It.

Kath and Kim could be one to revisit for sure @vampirethriller
and I watched dead to me recently, so good choice but too soon for a rewatch.

@Mrsjayy I loved Hamilton, but it did make me cry so not quite the afternoon I was looking for.

DH is now watching bloody football which is annoying.

I am on a real downer at the moment with all this shite so need more escapism.

Thank you all by the way

Derry Girls

This Country
Fleabag
Catastrophe
The Other One
Ghosts

I'm really enjoying 'Love' on Netflix, I properly laugh even though I'm watching alone with earphones.

@nevergooogle that is a new one to me. I will put that on the list.

Reading all the recommendations has made me realise I have clearly watched too much tv .

Another vote for This Country. I got into it just before lockdown and it really kept me going those first grim six weeks.

Arrested Development on Netflix

New girl is my favourite funny show when I need cheering up.
Also young offenders, ghosts and the other one are all very good.

Toast of London is amazing.

i hear you, Clem Fandango!

Shitt$ Creek on Netflix
Friday Night Dinner on All4

Ghosts was funny (and also kind of lovely), it's on BBC 1 again this week.

Crazy ex girlfriend was a laugh out loud one for me.

Addicted to Schitts Creek lately. I am nearly finished and I'm going to be so sad. I love David! It has made me LOL lots

What we do in the shadows my current fav.

Seems to be a real lack of good laughs imo

Friday Night Dinner
Dinner Ladies
Motherland
The Office

Spy (Melissa McCarthy and Miranda Hart), Spaced, Some Like It Hot, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? and Isn’t It Romantic are all on Netflix and worth a go.

And the Eurovision film is worth it for Dan Stevens.

Spy (the film with Jason Stathom, not the Sacha Cohen series) is on Netflix, very funny.

We’ve watched This Country, The Young Offenders and Brassic throughout lockdown.

You won’t go wrong with Parks and Rec. DH and I have just started watching it for the third time. We love it.

Arrested Development is also brilliant brilliant brilliant

I find it really sad that so many American series are being suggested. I have a very British sense of humour, and find it hard to see the comedy in many US programmes. It often seems a bit naive and unsophisticated IMO (generalising here obviously).

I feel like British television culture is being bulldozed due to Netflix and Prime.

Nice to see Green Wing recommended though. Flowers is also good if you like your comedy a bit surreal.

Kim's Convenience is very funny.

Derry Girls.

Ghosts (BBC iPlayer I think).

I rewatch Miranda now and again, and Outnumbered.

Motherland is good too.
