What makes you laugh out loud-Netflix?

I’m just coming out of a really low point in my life and I found really immersing myself in as much laugh out loud (to me) stuff I could find on Netflix really helped!

So far I’ve discovered White Gold and Boarderline and some stand up though I think I must have a niche sense of humor as a lot of the things perceived as being funny left me cold.

Wondering what makes you actually laugh out loud, or even give a little snigger?

The Good Place, I literally could not stop laughing at one particular episode

sex education is one of the funniest programmes ever!

Sex education. Suspect it's targeted at those younger than I but it's wonderful

People just do nothing makes me laugh out loud, as does Peep Show.

Jack Whitehall Travels with my Father makes me Lol. I'm not generally a lol person.

A film but What We Did on Our Holiday always cracks me up.
IT Crowd and the Thick of It

I can't get on with the Good Place or Parks and Recs - I've tried but nope.

Bojack Horseman is the best thing on Netflix imo, even if it takes the best part of a season to get going (and is equal parts sad and funny).

Also agree with PPs that The Good Place is fantastic.

TheMonaOgg · 09/02/2019 20:05

The Good Place, The IT Crowd, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Especially The Good Place though!!!

jarhead123 · 09/02/2019 20:06

We like The Good Place :)

HoHoHolyCow · 09/02/2019 20:10

The Good Life makes me laugh out loud!

HoHoHolyCow · 09/02/2019 20:10

Place not life!

MintCassis · 09/02/2019 20:14

Another vote for Schitt’s Creek and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Fuller House is good also.

The Job Lot

GoneFishingNC · 09/02/2019 20:19

Friends from College - it’s brilliant, I’ve just been binge watching the whole 2 seasons - really made me laugh out loud.
I’m gutted there isn’t yet a season 3.

Not sure if Miranda has been recommended but it's proper belly laugh material.

itsmehere1 · 09/02/2019 20:21

IT Crowd, Fawlty Towers and The Job lot

Rarfy · 09/02/2019 20:22

Fresh Meat
Cuckoo
Not Netflix but Derry Girls streaming on 4od at the mo is good.

breakthepattern · 09/02/2019 20:28

As a different prospect- stand up - Greg Davies' show on Netflix - called Magnificent Beast I think - is absolutely superb.

So so funny.
