There are't that many shows that make you actually laugh.

I only got that from the almighty simpsons, seinfeld, sometimes with my name is earl and how i met your mother.

Is there any other worth watching?

sharetv.org/shows/the_loop [only first season is funny]
sharetv.org/shows/two_and_a_half_men
sharetv.org/shows/family_guy

I guess I'll give rules of engagement a try. : )

For laughs out loud, I watch The Daily Show and Psych...

For me, the Simpsons, Monk and Eureka. Even though Eureka isn't strictly speaking a comedy, it has a lot of humorous elements to it.

Well I enjoy many awesome comedy show's but im not the laughing out loud kinda guy. But that must be friends! some epoisodes make me actually laugh :) I've started to watch the colbert report now and thats a funny show =)


OFFTOPIC
btw, isnt it anyone who has the latest colbert report?

It's not a comedy show either but I couldn't stop laughing out loud watching some of the recent episodes of "The Closer". Apart from that I agree with buggsrabbit about Monk and Eureka.
Very funny, even though I don't watch it regularly can be Boston Legal.

i like the king of queens, seinfeld, the simpsons and frasier.
....and conan o'brien and jay leno

Arrested Development, start from the beginning and it only gets funnier and funnier.

joey,
family guy
fawlty towers
full house

has to be kath & kim

"Little Britain" is a riot!

i second the Little Britain vote. Especially the first season.

I heard they are coming out with a 4th series as well as an American Version that will be air on HBO with both new and old characters that'll be awesome

I only heard about the HBO part, I didn't know that they were still continuing the BBC production as well.

Pax, what about curb your enthusiasm seing you listed Seinfeld

good point CYE is Funny as h3ll too

3rd rock from the sun(american)
On the buses(british)
Little mosque on the prairie(canadian)

Show I grab at the minute because there funny

The Daily Show,
The Colbert Report,
Robot Chicken,
South Park,
American Dad,
Californication (the best show this season)
Dexter.

1 for californication atm, the hype will die though

Curb Your Enthusiasm or South Park

Must agree Little Britain is a riot. But for the old shows Only Fools and Horses is a blast. Del Boy rocks.

Well I enjoy many comedy shows , But Seinfeld and scrubs
sure makes me laugh.

"Only Fools and Horses" was awesome in its day. Especially the blow-up doll episode! Oh, and any scene featuring Trigger! :P

i thought i had grown out of major network 30-min sit com TV but then i recently caught up on all the episodes so far for "30 Rock" - love Tina Fey so much i figured i really had to give it a go. And i am SHOCKED at how outrageously funny it is! really well written & the cast & acting is awesome. So i am definitely recommending 30 Rock to everyone.

aside from that, i have to have my Daily Show, Colbert Report and Reno 911 fixes as scheduled. Also love carlos mencia's show.

And then "weeds", on HBO is the BOMB, as was "Flight of the Conchords" - really hoping it gets picked up for another season for sure.

M*A*S*H* is very funny - there are some eps available on this site.

NCIS is also very comedy-driven in some eps. Try the Kill Bill tribute (NCIS Kill Ari 1, season 3.01) which features leather and whips, phonesex and schoolgirl sex fantasies in an office setting. All the funnier for the dominatrix being the character who just got killed off.... Somewhat dark humour.

Weeds
Kath & Kim
The Chasers War On Everything
Friends
Scrubs
Boston Legal
Spicks & Specks
Sienfeld

I'd second M*A*S*H for sure. Weeds..yea it's funny but it's not a laugh out loud show, 1 for sienfeld, scrubs

Spicks and specks, for all those that don't know it a music trivia show basically, you don't reallylearn anything, but it's laugh out funny for sure

999999 for the chasers too, never gone an epidose without choking on food or even my own saviva and getting sore jaw muscles

@bhoddigrrl
yea and Alec Baldwin is great in it

Just saw all my spelling mistakes in my last comment :( I'd just woken up, at 3pm after a 6 hour sleep, beforer which was 36 hours on NO sleep. I love messed up sleeping patterns, don't you?

i reckoment The I.T Crowd ive only seen the second series but i have never laughed so much it is a brilliantly funny show.

sorry that should be "reconmend"

so if you have Firefox they have some helpful Spell checking plug-ins you can download. they are very helpful in forum chat

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is pretty funny too.

If you want laughs with no other meaning then family guy is the way to go.
otherwise you can get sum real funny shit from house m.d

I don't watch a lot comedys but I like entourage a lot.

Wow. Someone listed Full House. I think I might puke all over Stephanie Tanner's face.

The Big Bang Theory, South Park, Sarah Silverman, Curb your Enthusiasm, How I Met Your Mother, The Office (though it's not as funny anymore), anad Scrubs

wkrp the best ever dont even watch comedy now all inane and child like

What does wkrp stand for?

btw sorry curious dont have firefox never liked it found it way to much like the previous internet explorer everything seemes hard to get to compared to the latest internet explorer

I have Firefox along with Internet Explorer, Opera and Netscape. I use the Firefox for the Torrent and Stage6 stuff. Personally I think Firefox works best with it. The new Firefox is simple.

WOW. I think he is talking about WKRP Cincinatti. That was even before my time. I recall seeing a few reruns a while back. Loni Anderson I think....She has to be 70 now or close to it.

I agree jszing I used to hate Firefox but now I love it it's so much better now

Always Been a firefox fan :) IE is ....IE sucks. If theres a certain website that for some weirdass reason needs to be viewed in IE I'll use acoo browser.

OT:
I'm liking weeds more and more now, It's made me laugh a few times :)

I thought it sounded like a radio station.

A new show that is pretty funny is the big bang theory, writting is really good watched 3 episodes, should be great if they can keep it up, as for older shows WKRP was one of the top ones, who can forget when it was raining turkeys.

Anyone else annoyed by questions like this? The answer is relative. I think abortion jokes are funny, but most people would be 'offended'. I can't remember the last time a network sitcom made me laugh. In fact, I can't think of a program that made me laugh that wasn't part of the adult swim line up or aired on Comedy Central. I guess I often laugh at what I hear Fox News is reporting.

(Lied. I love The Office)

who could forget the episode johnny saying Bugger as plays ted nuggent when they switched form elevator music to rock and roll and herb in carseat cover suits and bailey wow was she hot
might be i enjoyed it so much because i was in radio at the time wkrp rocked

my most favorite show is got to be "How I Met Your Mother" its sooooooooooo funny :)

You all must be really teeny boppers if you think loni anderson is that old she is 60 and is still a knock out not as hot as bailey but close the other great comedy that i used to watch was welcome back kotter It was very entertaining Gabe Kaplan was a Brilliant stand up at the time but the nose candy got to him Was not as sophisticated as wkrp but never the less quite good

cheers mates

BTW the reruns you saw were not quite the same as the orginal because of the copy write on the original music
you had to be there

vinnie barbarino,freddie boom boom washington,horshack can't think of anymore good one captain

jaun epstien the puertorican jew the tough guy

cheers

* Vinnie Barbarino, the leader of the Sweathogs. A handsome, charming (and selectively air-headed) Italian-American.
* Juan Epstein, the wild boy of the gang, a Puerto Rican Jew (or, more accurately, a Jewish Puerto Rican).
* Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington, the hip African-American basketball enthusiast.
* Arnold Horshack, the diminutive oddball of the Sweathogs known for his wheezing laugh.

Kotter had attended the same remedial classes when he was a student at Buchanan and was a founding member of the Sweathogs. He soon befriends his students who often visit his Bensonhurst apartment, sometimes to the chagrin of his wife, Julie (Marcia Strassman).

Most of the major characters of Welcome Back, Kotter were based on actual people from Kaplan's teen years as a remedial high school student in Brooklyn. As a stand-up comic, one of Kaplan's most popular routines was "Holes and Mellow Rolls", in which he talks in depth about the kids with whom he had attended remedial education classes. The names of three of the four major characters in Holes and Mellow Rolls were changed for the TV series.

Two aussie shows that make me laugh,
Spicks and Specks
RocKwiz
and a UK show, Graham Norton Show

Cops all of them

For me, even if it's not running any more : 3rd rock from the sun.

thanks captain brought back some good memories

Family Guy FTW!

I'm a big fan of British comedies:
Absolutely Fabulous
Full Bottom
Little Britian
The League of Gentlemen
Black Adder
Fawlty Towers

Scrubs!!!!

i think 'just for laughs-gags' is another gooder. it is similar to 'caught on camera' but way funnier.

who can forget the classics which everybody has


THE STOOGES CURLY LARRY AND MOE

NOT SHEMP

Cheers to all the old farts who actually remember then from sat mornings

just so happens that santa brought a 3 stooges dvd for the hubbys xmas stocking ....kids groaning&rolling eyes...but they did stick around to watch. still funny even these years later....classic!

family guy,reno911,2 and a half men

@appara rip it to avi or divx and put it on torrrentguy would love to download a cleaned up dvd version remastered great stuff

cheers

scrubs
seinfeld
30 rock
frasier
3rd rock from the sun
league of gentlemen
weeds
the IT crowd

and don't forget about
laurel and hardy
abbot & costello
but i could never get into the three stooges

oh forgot about two and a half men

Whose line is it anyway! Gotta love Ryan, Colin and Wayne

@rubysss
they are hillarious, I think Ryan and Colin are Canadian, I know Colin is.

I am really into the best show you're still not watching - "How I met your mother"
it's pretty solid one on a have-to-watch-every-episode-otherwise-ur-missing-out-on-some-of-the-best-li
nes-basis
so that one gets my vote for one of the funniest since arrested developement is over
plus I wanna give 30 rock a try

Kenny vs Spenny, Scrubs, Will and Grace, Weeds, QI, Top Gear, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Friends... still makes me laugh even though I've seen 'em all

I will take you back a few years to Get Smart and Hogans Heroes really watchable by kids and adults the adult themes were much more subtle and very politically incorrect but I mush prefer it that way myself.

My Top 5

1-Only Fools And Horses
2-Extras
3-Scrubs
4-QI
5-Never Mind The Buzzcocks

Shame on Me I forgot-Peter Kays Phoenix Nights and Max And Paddy!! :)

Family Guy is the funniest to me at the moment. I also enjoy Corner Gas.

Family guy , Reno 911,the best nonreality show cops

oh i forgot about hogan's heroes, it was one of my favs when i was little.
Arrested developement was amazing i still laugh out loud when i think of the loose seal.
early will and grace
friends
who's line is it anyway was great , the improv sorts out the real comedians from the ones who are only funny with lines written for them.

There a new show with Paul Merton (Thank God Your Here) its very like Whos Line Is It Anyways but with props and full sets that celeberaties walk into a funny scetch which they have to improvise, it shows real promise in my opinion is very funny aswell!!

has any1 seen this show yet?

actualy im not sure if (Thank God Your Here) is a new show? and not just a remake with Paul Merton as the Presenter, Pls could some1 inform me i cant find much info on this thanks

Black Adder,Animaniacs,Pinky and the Brain,Invader Zim,The Carol Bernett Show,The Three Stooges,The Dean Martin Comedy Hour,

@williambaxter
caught the end of that show, haven't heard of it before. Wasn't sure if it was good because Fern beat all the others , and i found that a bit suspect. What did you think of it?

@windsorboyd i Did watch all of it and i completly see your point about Fern, she should never have one although she is completly different to what i thought she was going to be like, ie swearing and relativly funny. i thought the show has real potencial and instead of celebries i would rather see proper comedians, like the cast from whos ling isn it anyways would make the show Excellent!! :)

(won) not (one) bad typing :)

Newsradio was a great series too

@curiousandroid

Newsradio was a great show! Dave Foley was also one of the cast of "The Kids In The Hall". Have you ever seen that one? Some very funny characters. By the way it was a Canadian show.

I remember kids in the hall, it must have been shown in the UK. Didn't realise it was Canadian though.

Oh my God! I forgot to mention the funniest show I've ever seen...the one show that actually makes me cough and splutter in laughter... GREEN WING!!

I don't know how many people will have seen that as it's a British sitcom/sketch/drama. Sue White's character is a creation of comedy genius.

green wing was great, Tamsin Greig was in another Black Books it was very funny and very surreal

An old one that i forgot about is Drop the dead donkey it was set in a newsroom and was recorded a few days before airing so it featured topical news stories which they them ridiculed. I loved the fact that the writers didn't have long to come up with their scripts.

Yes i forgot about Drob the Dead Donkey @windsorboyd well rememberd loved that show!

@mrsjerry I used to watch kids in the hall too on Comedy Central (you'd have to be deaf not to notice their Canadian accents, lol) they were produced by the same guy that produces SNL, Lorne Michaels(Also Canadian and Jewish- originally named Lorne Michael Lipowitz)

@curious

Yah eh, I guess you would notice their accents. I never thought about that cause I'm from Canada eh.lol eh! Mark McKinney started his comedy career in my hometown(Calgary) and went on to work on SNL in 1995. His brother is a writer/producer for shows such as Michael Moore's The Awful Truth and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Small world eh?

that's what they tell me

oh yeah - green wing is awesome - everyshoulda invest time in those 2 seasons and the special
victoria pile is like one of my heroes

My favourite comedy show are Friends. But i also like
Everybody loves Raymond
The Office
Family Guy
The King of Queens
Monk
Seinfeld

One and only, comedy of the year: CALIFORNICATION!

@ nip you want trash canadian actors and tv catch the red green show typical He makes fun of Canada and most of the dont understand what he is doing
They just laugh at the show mindless drivel


cheers

Btw you can tell I dont like this country 1 little bit population is backward dumbed down thru the schools and worry more about what ppl think of them, instead of standing up and being counted, this country is full of wimps and left wing loonies

i like comedy a little on the dark side.The League of Gentlemen is the best I've seen in years.

HEY @Capt back up ! maybe some are but not all!
try saying that in the usa

Nagila Captain

That's close to personal attacks on our Canadian members and Racist to boot.

Please desist immediately.

AHFA

@nogds9 The league is wonderful, those two little girls with the scarecrow remind me of my children, but I think i was even worse when I was their age so that keeps me safe (I hope)

@captain,
With all due respect,you must be hanging with the wrong crowd.The Canadians we know on share are far from backwood and dumb(I cringe to say it).Canada in the future will be a world power and very rich.We all know what politics are,left,right,in the middle,none of it matters,they are all the same.Bunch of liars!
Smoke a fatty and have some rest big guy.

AHFA/AHGB

I'm with nogds9 Blackadder is the tops for me. I also like Fasier.

Corner Gas Brent Butt, creator writer and director of CORNER GAS A CANADA , SHOW "delightful Canadian comedy"

it has got to be arrested development. that is so funny you watch over and over again because it has so many layers to it. some goods one from the uk too are the excellent peepshow and the mighty boosh.

@mekon

I am a fan of Frasier, haven't seen Blackadder!

Blackadder is old now, but it is well worth a look

@fozzybear - If you haven't seen Blackadder you are one of the most fortunate people in the world. Every episode of every season is a gem. Seriously, download some/all of Blackadder and enjoy the time of your life.

@windsorboyd - Blackadder was made quite a few years ago but it is in no way dated. To me it is the epitome of humour. The seasons are all different and all equally hilarious.

@ Mekon I remember the first Blackadder as being the best, didn't watch a lot of the last series can't remember why.
Don't you think it's funny watching 'Baldrick' on time team, i keep waiting for him to dig up an old ancester

@windsorboyd - Hi there. If anything, I found all the later series of Blackadder even funnier than the first. I have many of them on tape - they are true classic comedy. I have watched a couple of the Time Team programmes but am not a fan.

@mekon

Thanks for the suggestion I'll give it a try.

I have not even seen a preview really!

@fozzybear - any Blackadder you download will bring joy into your life.

@fozzy
yeah its a great show you will enjoy

Blackadder is very funny!

I remember when blackadder first started i was about 17 i yhink, it was set in the middle ages and set around a loser yonger son (big bro was god's gift) and his despised loser freinds. Doesn't sound promising but it was hilarious, The series after that was a later period in history starrind descendants of the original one . I think it was the blackadder goes forth that i didn't watch. starting working evenings and missed most TV shows for about 7 years!!

you better start downloading then your 7 years behind

@windsorboyd

I most certainly agree with romeo53.

The last season was in my opinion the best.

A cowardly british officer in WWI, his batman and junior officer striving with all sorts of dodges to get out of the trenches. Brilliant.

My favourite comedy of all time has to be Only Fools & Horses, but more recently I would have to say Shameless. As far as U.S. comedy, The Simpsons does it everytime for me.

@sam1980

I agree that The Simpsons is a great comedy. I find Family Guy really funny as well.

an oldie but a goodie
The Goodies just came across them in thebiz.box

family guy .

i liked futurama better than simpsons i wish it would've stayed on

Futurama is returning. I bought the recently release Futurama movie ... stink-o. I hope the returning series is a lot better.

My favorite comedy, SCTV. I just purchased 2 of their 3 5 disc sets, hysterical, in fact I just finished watching 'Rome Italian Style' may be more funny now than it was 25 yrs ago.

I am also a fan of Kenny Everett. He died quite a long time ago and perhaps was only shown on UK TV. But he was unique and outstanding and some of his shows are available to download. He also did outstanding work on the radio.

Thebox.bz has some of Kenny Everett's shows. If you are into bizzare humour then you should download them and enjoy.

Futurama. Family guy .

Nagila Mekon

A great memory for me

He (KE) was swinging onto the stage in a Tarzan outfit.

As you might say happy days.

AHFA

@quark

I liked all in the family, Archie Bunker was a likeable biggot!

Johnny Carson had some great stand up routines.

@fozzybear

Then you should watch the original! UK Show.

'Til death do us part'

@Quark Fozzybear - Don't think the PC brigade allow anyone to watch 'Til Death do us Part nowadays. More's the pity. I also watched some of All in the Family and enjoyed them.

Me and Quark watched a little of Blackadder this morning and laughed out loud. It's just as funny and brilliant as when it was first aired.

everyone seems to be forgetting the good old series...back when it wasn't all about eye candies:P...or at least they had the charms not only the looks...
it only seems to me that tv how are becoming more and more of a commercial..it's only natural but it does bring a sort of nostalia huh:D?
oohh...and just for the record i'm not over 40:P...i'm 18

to answer the question my all time fav is seinfeld...it's a classic..."about nothing";)

Geez, Seinfeld isn't that old!! you're making me feel like i should be in a nursing home!


"Curb Your Enthusiasm" is great too too bad it ended too

Ofcourse Coupling uk.
Jeff rules!!

@Mekon @Quark I watched the first episode of Blackadder have 3 seasons worth now. I was rolling on the ground when Mr. Bean accidentally cut the kings head off.

@Quark I will look for "Til Death do us part"

@fozzybear be aware Till Death do us part could lead to you being arrested by the pc brigade if caught laughing at it lol

@fozzybear - glad (but not surprised) that you enjoyed your first dose of Blackadder. The more you see the more you'll enjoy. Be aware, also, that each season is set in a totally different time period.

@fozzy
yeah keep watching its a great show mate

I just wonder if there is anyone out there who has seen Backadder and didn't enjoy it?

Nagila Mekon

Have seen all the 'Blackadder' episodes and specials but where can I find the 'Backadder episodes' LOL.

CUT
AHFA

Nagila Quark

A simple typing error - Backadder vice Blackadder - but when will you learn the difference between its and it's?

AHPFA

Nagila Mekon

When the moonshines over the cowshed.

it's is an abbreviation of it is

its without any apostrophes is possessive and does not require the usual possessive apostrophe.

AHFA'P

Nagila Quark,

Very good - be aware also that it's (besides being short for it is) can stand for it is or it has - as in it's arrived or it's come. But you seem to have got it now.

Nagila Mekon

Can also be it 'as. That's a cockney dropping his 'H's again.LOL

AHFA

3rd rock from the sum and 30 rock

@Quark - I take your point .... or perhaps you took one? LOL
