I've noticed that recently I'm out of things that make me laugh - series, youtube channels etc. Since I want to try new things, I prefer not to disclose my preferences, just hear from you.

on youtube: cuts from tv dramas e.g. the big bang theory; silicon valley; clips of scallops running

lincolnfrias4• 8 years ago

Yes, cuts on YouTube are a great resource. Thanks!

Watching Hearthstone is enjoyable for me, I watch Thijis' videos every day and Hearthstone Lucky & Funny.

- Burnistoun (sample here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAz_UvnUeuU, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnistoun): I have regularly thrown laughing fits over this.

Tech-wise, Silicon Valley I think is funny esp. the earlier series.

uxcolumbo• 8 years ago

These are great, thanks for sharing.

Some of Limmy's stuff is funny too... He used to be a flash designer / developer.

malux85• 8 years ago

These cause me to often laugh out loud, but warning, they're a bit of an acquired taste (like all good things):

- XFM Series (you tube, start season 1 episode 1) - Nathan for you - People just do nothing - Alan Partridge

this2shallPass• 8 years ago

Party Down. If you like The Office or Parks and Rec, it's kinda like that but funnier. I like them all but I laugh more watching Party Down.

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Arrested Development. The first 3 seasons.

Master of None. Season 2 is funny. Season 1 is good but not that funny. It's more real and depressing. Season 2 is great, and funny.

Great, I'll try those.

I live in the 3rd world and only discovered them for the first time about a month ago. For those that don't know, it's a great comedy show where 4 friends basically try to embarrass each other as much as possible in public, which works out well since you never feel like the random people they interact with are being picked on, they themselves are usually the butt of the joke.

Although they have a show you can view individual bits of their episodes on TruTV on Youtube, in case you don't have access to in anywhere else.

Mock the Week.

Have I Got News For You.

Both very British panel shows, and both show politicians zero mercy.

mcgrath_sh• 8 years ago

Frasier. There are scenes and episodes I have seen tens of times and stil laugh out loud at.

osullivj• 8 years ago

BBC's Cunk on Britain. Diane Morgan's brilliant faux naif character - Philomena Cunk - quizzes experts on various topics. If you liked the Ali G spoof interviews with various celebs you'll love this. Look for the Brian Cox interview on YoutTube. If you like it, head for iPlayer...

Brooklyn Nine Nine - that's my happy place. Scrubs is always a classic.

retroafroman• 8 years ago

"Desus and Mero" on Viceland.com. Infectious level laughter from commentary.

tylerpachal• 8 years ago

If you are interested in cooking/food, I get a laugh out of Brad Leone's show on YouTube called "Its Alive", where he focuses mainly on fermented foods.

Recent episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T4NutUazJE

I read books, do online courses and then laugh at myself how stupid I was before and I didn't knew stuff.

I rarely laugh if I'm alone, despite how humorous or amusing I find what I'm listening or watching or reading. However, I will readily laugh in a crowd (even if I'm the only one laughing). I go to theatre, improv shows, comedy clubs, and movies for a laugh. But perhaps the best laughter is with a group of friends.

reddit.com/r/contagiouslaughter will get me every time

manno23• 8 years ago

Mr Bean, maybe its a bit of nostalgia, or the child like qualities of Bean himself, but I just returned to this and its as comfy as I remember.

Red Dwarf, Eastbound and Down, and Macgruber are some other favourites.
