to think TV does not make us LAUGH anymore

[hamsterloverlover]

can you think of the last show that actually made you laugh out loud?

Kimmy Schmidt too - Titus has all the best lines and is a complete LEDGE!
Fresh meat funny too.

Unbreakable on Netflix 😆

Oh haha should have read the thread. Glad I'm not the only one 😆

Jay that made me chuckle too!

Impractical jokers really makes me laugh. Some of it's a bit cringey but it is hilarious

Catastrophe and Man Down. Both recent and lots of laugh out loud moments.

Parks and Recreation! Although I do think it is a bit marmite - we love it, but a friend we recommended it to described it as 'dire' (no taste, clearly). We have had to pause it so we can finish laughing.

But of course, it's all subjective.

I couldn't laugh at Miranda if I was being tortured. Add mrs browns boys to that list

You say tomayto, I say tomato. Lets call the whole thing a thoroughly nice chap and say it doesn't matter what race he is

we have excellent taste gin :D

I'm the same Ilove Mrs Browns boys bores me to tears. I have no idea how so many people can find it funny

Surely though not finding modern stuff funny is the way the world goes.

Just think back 25 years and they things that we loved, Vic Reeves Big Night Out, Bottom, Young Ones were considered 'alternative comedy' and our parents didn't like them.

Now we are the parents so we won't find modern stuff funny. It's like not liking chart music or not liking the current fashion.

Millhouse im also not a fan of Miranda and cant stand Mrs Browns Boys. Utter crap.

The last time that I laughed out loud and had face ache was watching Alan Carr live in a small theatre it was so funny. I really want to laugh more but everything is boring me. I adored robin williams he was so clever. Everything seems false and like they're trying too hard.

Of comedies that are still running or have ended in the last year

Catastrophe
Workaholics
It's always sunny
Rick and morty (best comedy on tv currently)
Brooklyn 9-9
Last man on earth
Veep
Black-ish
Silicon Valley
The good place
Bojack horseman (ok this might be the best comedy on tv at the moment)
Silicon Valley
Fleabag
Atlanta

You've reminded me about Veep Quimby such cruel and funny lines by Selina Myers. Fantastic!

White gold
Toast of London
House of fools
All big hits here.

I miss Peep Show! Wish they'd do more. Is Pete vs Life as good? Any other similar suggestions? UK not American.

I am old but I miss political satire like Not The Nine O'Clock News and Spitting Image. Made me laugh out loud and influenced politics at the same time

"You've reminded me about Veep Quimby such cruel and funny lines by Selina Myers. Fantastic!"

It's a genuine classic
Will never beat the source material but it's up there with curb, parks and Rec, the office, IASIP and the other great American sitcoms

Harry Hill's (often surreal) commentary on You've Been Framed makes me cry with laughter sometimes.

Agree with Quimby, Blackish can be very funny on a good day. Especially Junior.

Mum was a really good one that was on last year. Gentle on the surface but very well observed with a bite to it underneath.

Agree about Car Share, Catastrophe and Parks and Recreation. And would add The Detectorists.

Also maybe about three years ago there were a couple of series of a programme where famous women in history were seen in a therapist's room. Can't remember the name of it but it was very good.

Drigon I've introduced the older dcs to the reruns of TV Burp and even though they (obviously) haven't seen the programmes he takes the piss out of they love it. He's a very funny man, for sure.

Bridget & Eamon

Drop the Dead Donkey Absolutely brilliant A classic.

Brooklyn 99 and Grace and Frankie are both hilarious.
