Recommend me a good comedy - desperately need something funny!

After a couple of weeks from hell and having had four teeth removed today I really need something fun.

We love The Office (US), Parks & Rec, 30 Rock, Party Down, Arrested Development, Spaced, 2012 and W1A... tried Schitt’s Creek and didn’t find it funny.

Is there anything great we might have missed?

Superstore. Its got some of same production staff as the office.
I'm watching this right now, it's hillarious. Smile
Floppywin · 04/02/2021 22:20

Superstore - give it two episodes before deciding not for you - it is so good, really good acting and the comedy laugh out loud sometimes. Makes me smile thinking about it - on series 2. I would not have expected to enjoy this at all... but it’s great, give it a go.

Crazy ex-girlfriend. I saw it recommended on here. Don't be put off by the singing and stick with it for a couple of episodes. One if the best things I've watched recently.

Dowser · 04/02/2021 22:21

Mum was lovely

Misfits was a black comedy
Think there one called the two of us with Lauren socha in
Was fab

Dowser · 04/02/2021 22:22

Kath and Kim and schists creek are only about 20 mins so if you’ve watched something heavy and you want a bit light relief before bid...this is just a nice snack size.

Can’t remember if sex education was a comedy or not but really enjoyed that as well

PatsyKen · 04/02/2021 22:23

I can’t believe no one has mentioned Stath Lets Flats! Amazing! Also loved Feel Good.

Awww Mum was great. Loved it. Imagine having a son and daughter-in-law that brainless though Grin

Offspring is very good funny and sad in places once you get past the first couple of episodes its very funny and addictive.

Another vote for Derry Girls, Staged and Coupling.

H is watching the new Star Trek animation (I think it's called Below Decks or something?) which isn't A Comedy but has had some amusing lines. Lower Decks.

feliciabirthgiver · 04/02/2021 22:31

Just watched Crashing on Netflix, we really enjoyed it, if you like Phoebe Waller Bridge I'm sure you would enjoy this.

TheFerretsSleeping · 04/02/2021 22:31

Currently watching super store is easy watching with some funny bits. It's on netflix
