to think TV does not make us LAUGH anymore

[hamsterloverlover]

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

Rick and Morty makes me CRY with laughter.

I appear to have had some kind of sense of humour bypass as most of the stuff advertised as comedies, I just do not find in the least bit funny. I do love Life in Pieces though.

The narrator on Dinner Date is pretty funny with puns.

Have to agree with Taskmaster had us all (me, DH, 2 teen DDs) crying with laughter on many occassions.

My last actual bellylaugh was watching Taskmaster where the contestants had to put 3 large exercise balls on a yoga mat on top of a hill in the wind - fastest wins. It was just SOOOOOOO cheek achingly funny.

Totally agree with you. The last sitcoms to make me smile were Episodes and In The Thick Of It. Since then nothing and before them nothing for years. Certainly nothing of the calibre of Yes Minister, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Black Books. And stand ups seem universally unfunny - just trying to be random and surreal with nothing funny to say.

Oh I like that thing on Dave where Alan Davies chats with people (As yet untitled?) - some of the combinations of guests have really gelled and bounce gags/life stories off each other so easily I feel envious of the lifestyle sometimes.

Red Dwarf is still going!

Friday night dinner is good and Car Share.

I can't stand Mrs Brown's Boys or Miranda.

Sad to say but the only thing that gets me howling is 'You've Been Framed.' Surely I should have grown out of unintentional slapstick?

I used to cry laughing at 'It's a Knockout' in the 1970s but that was partially laughing at Stuart Hall laughing. (Stuart Hall no longer funny.)

Comedy shows elicit a slight smile these days. Sigh...

It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia. That's made me laugh so hard I've thought I'd be sick at times.
The Mick. In the same vein (also starring Kaitlin Olsen) not as funny but still has genuine lol moments.
Silicon Valley. Not always laugh out loud but the "SWOT" to decide whether to late Blaine die was great.
Episodes. Frequently hilarious.
Speechless. Just a fantastic show funny, heartwarming and bittersweet at the same.
People of Earth. Weird but wonderful.
And they are not comedies but Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and iZombie both have some very genuinely funny moments.

New bbc2 show 'Quacks' is REALLY funny

Count Arthur Strong.

This Country.

Friday Night Dinner, Father Ted, Still Game and Impractical Jokers all make me laugh.

The narrator on Dinner Date is pretty funny with puns.
Oh yes, I think he's great. Love his put downs

I used to cry laughing at 'It's a Knockout' in the 1970s but that was partially laughing at Stuart Hall laughing.
I find that sort of thing funny too Ellen. Used to like Total Wipeout when the contestant bounced off of those massive red balls and Amanda Byram would be sniggering her head off whilst trying to pretend to be sympathetic. Also liked Bigheads when the contestants got blatted

Full series of quacks available on iplayer. I'm definitely enjoying it. Full loud laughter a few times an episode.

There's so much variety around now it's hard to believe there's nothing new you find funny.

Brooklyn 99 is brilliant.

Lucifer on Amazon is funny enough.

I'm going to check out unbreakable after the recommendations on here

Brooklyn 99, Silicon Valley, Veep, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Archer, You're The Worst, Broad City, Insecure, Review, Master of None, Bob's Burgers, The Good Place, Atlanta, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Transparent, Catastrophe, Fleabag...all currently running.

There's also Black-ish and Fresh off the Boat if you like family sitcoms.

I find Parks and Recreation to be properly hilarious sometimes. The kids and I laugh out loud a lot watching that. Watch the episode about safe sex for senior citizens. It's a classic.

where can i find parks and recreations?

I watched rojeth rangunathan meets comedians in a cafe/ in pubs on the iPlayer last night. It was really funny and i was crying with laughter in the cafe one with the siblings. Is the first interview. Brilliant.

Norma, it's on Amazon Prime .

thanks captain

8 out of 10 cats.

@Plentyoffishnets I keep seeing clips on FB. I would like to watch that as it looks funny.

Camping on BBC catch up made me laugh but your right there just isn't as much on anymore
