Who doesn't love comedy shows? When you are exhausted and looking for a pick-me-up, there is nothing better than watching a comedy show that can make you laugh. But, what shows should you watch? There are a number of funny TV shows you can find and the easiest way to watch them is on Netflix. Streaming services and comedy are an excellent match and you can binge-watch some hilarious shows when you are looking for a break from all the seriousness.
Listed below are some of the best comedy TV shows that you can watch on Netflix right now:
1.The Office
This show has given the word 'mockumentary' a whole new definition and is incredibly original. There is no audience clapping at every joke and no laugh track. Every facial expression, gesture and comment was vital to the story and the camera was always around recording everything. This adaptation from England became a huge success, especially with Steve Carrell leading the diverse cast of characters and the stellar group of writers also did it justice. Once you start it, you will be hooked.
2.New Girl
When it was announced that Zooey Deschanel would headline a sitcom, a number of people were skeptical. But, a few years later, New Girl has managed to eliminate any reservations that people may have had before. It is one of Fox's strong comedy programs and can incite big belly laughs from the audience. It is a show about friendship and the idea of improving yourself as you grow. Yes, there are some rom-com clichés and more focus on romance, but the show has gotten back on track and can offer you the enjoyment you want.
3.Parks and Recreation
This is a rare TV show because it is free of any conflict. Obviously, there are some small conflicts such as tense elections, council meetings getting out of control or the death of a beautiful miniature horse. But, for the most part, Parks and Recreation is a sitcom that revolves around ambitious and capable people who respect each other. The characters of the show are its greatest strength and they help make it one of the best comedies on Netflix.
4.Orange is the New Black
Even though House of Cards was the first original program of Netflix that helped define its network, now it feels as if the title of the golden child has been usurped by Orange is the New Black. This prison dramedy continues to up the game every year as the story becomes more and more complex and adds more fun to the whole narrative. It began with Piper Chapman's indoctrination into a correctional facility for women, but the show has extended its boundaries and now includes a diverse cast of supporting characters.
5.Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
After her work on SNL and the creation of 30 Rock, it was a given that Tina Fey had cemented her place in comedy history. But, it is a good thing she continued to move forward or else we wouldn't have gotten the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. This is undoubtedly one of the funniest shows you can see on television. It starts off with a touching and subtle tale of victim empowerment when the young Kimmy Schmidt moves to the big city and breaks off her ties with a dangerous cult. The jokes are downright hilarious and make this show a must watch for everyone.
6.Friends
Unless you are eight years old or have spent the last two decades sleeping under the rock, it is a given that you have heard about Friends. It is the best comfort food you can find on Netflix. Every single character is appealing and a bunch of laughs. It is easy to relate to these characters as they move ahead in their life. When you want a comedy show that you can watch over and over without getting bored, it is Friends that will come to your mind.
7.The Good Place
This show is the platonic ideal of all sitcoms because its premise is a high-concept that advertisers, networks, studios and the audience all love equally. Kristen Bell's Eleanor Shellstrop dies tragically in an accident in a grocery store parking lot and finds herself in 'The Good Place' i.e. heaven. After she meets a couple of her neighbors, she realizes that they have gotten the wrong person as she isn't meant to be there. But, now she must adjust to this life and this intriguing premise adds the layer of fun you want from a comedy.
8.Master of None
This TV show takes on the millennial culture with the right amount of New York vibe and cynicism. Aziz Ansari's character is doing his best at navigating a family, career, relationships and friends against the canvas of craft beer and pop-up concerts. It is a beautiful series that doesn't hesitate in shining the light on some of the difficult and hard truths of this age.
9.Lady Dynamite
Sometimes a great comedic television only needs a bit of perspective and that's exactly what comedian Maria Bramford provides with her creative experience. She is one of the most beloved comics of her generation even though she dropped out of the public eye to deal with her mental health issues. Lady Dynamite explores Maria's life and her struggles in a touching way. But, what makes this show great is that it does so in a bizarre and hilarious way.
10.Arrested Development
In regard to sheer work ethic, it is hard to come up with anything better than Arrested Development. The first three seasons of this show are very finely calibrated and the story revolves around a wealthy family who lose everything. Jason Bateman's character is the one that has no choice but to keep the family together and this creates a piece of comedic art. Every moment in the show is an important one and makes it worth watching for anyone who is looking for some good laughs.
