7 Of The Funniest Must-Watch TV Shows Out There

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doKRZM_Uvko

I hold my comedy to a high standard, so when I sit down to watch a comedy TV show it must follow a certain set of rules.

These rules are:

1. I must laugh so loudly that I draw the attention of other people around me.

2. It must contain minimal sex jokes and graphic scenes; there are only so many sex jokes one can take!

3. It must be live-action and realistic. This makes it more relatable and therefore funnier.

4. After watching one episode, my spirits are lifted. Because isn't that the point of comedy?

5. I can watch the same episodes over and over again and not get bored.

Below is a list of 7 of the funniest TV shows that I go to for comedy relief, and I highly recommend you do too!

"The Office"

The Office takes the number 1 spot for comedy on my list. This show follows a . . . unique cast of characters in a paper company office in Scranton, PA. The situations these characters manage to get themselves into is so out of this world that you can't help but laugh at everything that this roller coaster of a show offers.

"Friends"

To have watched Friends is to be ingrained into American pop culture. The group of friends that the show follows are relatable and never fail to make you laugh.

"Derry Girls"

"Derry Girls" is the most underrated show on this list. It follows a group of Catholic girls in Northern Ireland in the 90s and all the trouble that they manage to get themselves into. . .

"Brooklyn 99"

"Brooklyn 99" follows a group of detectives in Brooklyn's 99th precinct. Jake Peralta is a child living inside an NYPD detective, his antics and personality bring out the best in the other characters of the precinct. The show is light-hearted and fun and makes you wish you were an NYPD detective . . . sometimes.

"Parks & Recreation"

Filmed much like "The Office," "Parks & Recreation" follows a group of people in the Parks & Recreation department of a small town in Indiana. The main character, Leslie Knope, is a model public servant who genuinely cares for the people around her.

"Schitt's Creek"

This show follows an affluent family that loses all of their money and are left with only one asset, a town named Schitt's Creek that they bought as a joke. Now they're forced to move there and adjust to a different lifestyle.

"Impractical Jokers"

"Impractical Jokers" is the only non-fiction show on this list. It follows a group of friends from New York who have been playing pranks on each other since they met in high school. They take their pranks to the street of New York and it's crazy to see the things they come up with. They must set up challenges, if one of them fails a challenge then they must be "punished."

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
