Any funny tv show recs?

[bif]

I've been watching a fair amount of heavy stuff lately and could use some laughs. I enjoy offbeat humor. Liked Derry Girls. Sex Education. The Detectorists.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

1. Watched all 3 and were SUPERB.

[Tree-Hugger]

2. Offbeat

Have you seen:

What We Do In The Shadows
Superstore
Schitt's Creek
Only Murders in the Building
Good Omens (offbeat, but a heavy subject)

[slightlv]

5. I enjoyed the Good Omens book so much

that when the first two copies I had grew legs and walked, I bought it again!!! (in paperback, this time)

I watched the show and enjoyed it immensely. Had me laughing so much! But maybe it's just me... I enjoyed the books even more. There's nothing like crawling into bed and keeping your husband awake all night as you're laughing hysterically at what you're reading! (LOL)

35. you sound like Mr YD! I know for certain he has watched

it 5 times but I think it's more.

Also, even though I it is in our Kindles he wanted a regular book copy too. So he got it for his birthday.

We are looking forward to the next season which begins in just a few days.

8. Loved Schitt's Creek.

I'll have to check out the other ones.

[yellowdogintexas]

34. I never could get the appeal of this show. Tried to watch it

without success.

[mopinko]

37. it's got a canadian sense of humor, i think.

reminds me of the old sketch comedy shows out of canada. names escape me at the moment, but they all had a quirky tilt to them that u either get or u dont.

[mopinko]

38. good omens was great.

love david tennent. and being raised catholic, enjoyed seeing religion picked apart.
liked lucifer a lot, too.

[jls4561]

3. I watched "White House Plumbers" and found it hilarious.

[Faux pas]

4. ...

The Lake on Netflix

[bif]

13. I found a show called "To the Lake"

But it doesn't look like a comedy.

[Faux pas]

19. Oops

sorry, The Lake is on Amazon prime

[mopinko]

36. i loved this.

very fun. is there a s3 on the way?

[Faux pas]

39. No

word yet, I hope there is

[mopinko]

40. well, that ending...

[The Blue Flower]

6. I enjoyed The Norsemen

Don't know if it's still up. My adult daughter was grossed out by some of the humor, but I found it LOL funny. Violent, ancient Vikings with all the personality quirks of modern scandinavians.

[bif]

7. I enjoyed it!

[yellowdogintexas]

27. We watched it after we had gone through The Vikings

It is a total sendup of The Vikings! We laughed out loud at it.

[Doc Sportello]

9. Reservation Dogs

Created by a Native American, Sterlin Harjo, written by him and other NA writers, it is the story of four teenagers on a reservation in eastern Oklahoma. It is hilarious, offbeat, poignant and more representative of native peoples than anyting I've seen. The young people are great, but there are some familiar faces such as Gary Farmer Jr. and Wes Studi. Can't recommend it enough. It is showing on FX but runs first on Hulu.

I will also tout Somebody Somewhere on HBO. It is focused on the lives of "outcasts" in Manhattan Ks. including Manhattan native Bridget Everett, who is as talented as anybody on television when it comes to comedy and singing, and her co-star Jeff Hiller is not far behind. He is gay as are several characters, along with a trans character, but they are organic to the town and storylines, not stock characters. Just lviing their life in a small Kansas town. It's a dramady, with some family issues and sadness but it's just beautiful in the way it cares about the characters and the easygoing way the stories are told.

I just love both those shows.

[bif]

17. Just saw Ms. Jacobs in "The Sun at Midnight".

Excellent movie.

[Doc Sportello]

18. I will check that out

All the young people in Reservation Dogs are terrific, but so are the oldsters. It's like they got released to play actual Native Americans in a real way.

10. MST3K

Becoming a MSTie... join us for... DEEEEEP HUUUURTING!

[bif]

12. Huge MST3K fan.

And all the spinoffs including RiffTrax!

[TlalocW]

14. I've been lax in watching the movies

From their latest crowd-funding campaign. I donated to get them on Netflix, which they did for two seasons, and my name is proudly in the credits for, "Starcrash," which has the Hoff in it.

[bif]

16. Season 13 is on Pluto for free!

But I don't think they''re as funny as the first 5 seasons hosted by Joel. The first 10 seasons are all available for free here:

Have you seen any of the spin-off shows? Cinematic Titanic has some of the original members. It's pretty funny and is on Tubi for free.

[TlalocW]

21. I've watched all of the Film Crew, all of Cinematic Titanic, and some RiffTrax (too many to see all)

And I went to a live showing of Cinematic Titanic and three live shows of MST3K (two Jonah and one Emily). The two Jonah ones had live skits, but then it showed us a non-broadcast episode, essentially. The Emily one was live skits and riffing.

I'm a balloon twister so I twisted life-sized Crow and Tom Servo before the CT show to get pictures with the group during autographs after the show. Joel asked me if there were videos that show you how to make them, and I said I came up with them in the motel a couple of hours before the show. He was impressed and took pictures of me. Then I gave them to Trace and Josh, and I think they eventually gave them away to some kids. There were no autograph sessions after the MST3K live shows so no pics there.

I also twisted life-sized Crow, Tom, and doll-sized Kinga for Felicia Day when she came to my local comic con.

Someday I'll go to RiffTrax live to get Kevin, Bill, and Mike.

22. Wow! You're even more hard core than I am!

Good on ya!

[Staph]

11. Ghosts

I haven't seen the British version, but the American version is both heartwarming and hilarious!

[Nevilledog]

20. I liked the British version much more.

[mockmonkey]

15. The Green Wing, Friday Night Dinner and Rake

The Green Wing:
Adult language, Surreal Humor, Mark Heap and Pippa Haywood are freaking hilarious. The show is really out there and each episode is 51 minutes.

Friday Night Dinner:
Another Show with Mark Heap as the neighbor.

Rake:
"A brilliant barrister battles his self-destructive tendencies."

[bif]

23. Watched the first two episodes of The Green Wing

And you're right. It's out there. Sort of a cross between Mr. Bean and Monty Python. Thoroughly unique.

24. "Wellington Paranormal", "The Other Two" and "Ghosts" (BBC version)

All are three are on MAX but "Wellington Paranormal" is also available for free on the CW site (cwtv.com).

"Wellington Paranormal", a spinoff of "What We Do in the Shadows", is about a special unit of the Wellington police that investigates paranormal activity. It's framed as a ride-along reality series, like "Cops" but with ghosts and vampires. It is endlessly hilarious and every episode has different opening titles with wacky newspaper headlines.

"The Other Two" is a series I avoided because the premise didn't seem interesting: an internet video star achieves fame while his two older siblings struggle to make a name for themselves. I started watching when I learned Wanda Sykes was a regular. It's very funny and a clever commentary on today's celebrity culture. Produced by Lorne Michaels, it features a standout performance by Molly Shannon as the kid's mom.

"Ghosts" is the British series that inspired the CBS version. A young couple inherits an old mansion and tries to turn it into a bed and breakfast but they need to contend with the ghosts from different eras that reside there, who can communicate with the wife after she suffers a concussion. This series is very funny but the characters are also lovable and sometimes their situations are quite poignant. You'll want to keep watching for the laughs but also because these ghosts are such good company.

[Beaverhausen]

25. Space Force is pretty funny

Sometimes it tries too hard but it’s worth watching IMHO

[bif]

26. I enjoyed it!

[yellowdogintexas]

28. Fat her Ted is on You Tube.

One of the funniest things I have ever watched

[bif]

29. Never heard of Fat her Ted

[yellowdogintexas]

30. Father Ted. Sorry about that. Cat was helping me type nt

[mopinko]

31. enjoyed 'never have i ever'.

even tho i’m not that big on teen heroes, i enjoyed it a lot. final season out now.
have netflix on pause, but def 1 of the 1st things i’ll watched when i get it back.
tons of good standup on nf too.

[yellowdogintexas]

33. I like that show. I am up to season 3

Like you I am not usually into teen shows but this one is good

[yellowdogintexas]

32. Corner Gas is hysterical. One of Canada's most popular

comedy shows ever. Free with ads on FreeVee. There are 2 versions: one live actors and one animated. I think all the animated characters are voiced by the original actor(s) from the original version, except one who had passed away between the two versions.

We also like Kim's Convenience (also Canadian) on Netflix

[barbaraann]

41. The IT Crowd

We almost died laughing! I think it's especially funny if you have been in IT.
