Pen Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I hope I’ll get some ideas too! By Netflix do you mean things you can get from them or things they made? And since sense of humor can vary, can you give an example of something you find funny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like stand-up comedians (Amy Schumer, Seinfeld), funny shows like Kimmy Schmidt. I've heard Parks & Recreation is funny. I'll try that tonight. Thanks for asking!

happi duck Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Parks and Rec is fantastic *but* it gets funnier after season one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even skip the first season but if you don’t, don’t judge it all by that. I liked New Girl and just finished Episodes, which was funny (but full of language and some sex so if that bothers you, you wouldn’t like it).

TechWife Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is funny the first season. After that it got repetitious, but the first season is good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I loved both seasons of Glow. It's hilarious, but also serious though. Santa Clarita Diet also made me laugh. But it depends on your sense of humor. It's dark and funny. If you want something that makes you feel good about humanity, I'll totally second Nailed It. Everything in life should be like Nailed It. You should attempt something you're never going to achieve. Experts should laugh at you about it, but then praise your effort and encourage you to try again and have fun with it. And then someone should win money for having tried. It's perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I needed to laugh until my sides hurt, I'd watch of all the cold opens from that show I could find on YouTube. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconding, the Santa Clarita Diet, it kept my 2 young adults and I in stiches but we enjoy that type of dark comedy. My husband doesn't like dark comedy, so his wasn't a fan of that one. You've probably seen these oldies, but I still find the Dick Van Dyke show and The Andy Griffith Show funny and soothing in a nostalgic way. I remember watching them in reruns afterschool as a kid/teenager. My whole family has enjoyed the standup specials by Fluffy (can't remember his actual name.) My daughters and I really enjoy the standup specials of John Mulvaney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

displace Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 7 minutes ago, Upennmama said: Kims Convenience is hysterical! I was about to say this! I binged two seasons in a couple weeks. It’s about a Korean family who immigrated to Canada, with a witty sense of humor. Just enough meaningful episodes to get you invested in the characters but not so much it’s heavy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypamama Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Parks and Rec Arrested Development Is The Mindy Project on Netflix? I know it was on Hulu. It's sometimes annoying but generally funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaelAldrich Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I third Kim's Convenience. It rings most true to me because my mom is Korean and I get extra laughs from the accents and such but I think anyone will find it funny and thoroughly not American. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I found Grace and Frankie to be pretty intense emotionally, not just funny, so warning there. Divorce, etc. I find Bob's Burgers to be a hysterical, but it's on Hulu, not Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Ali Wong's two specials on Netflix are hilarious but definitely off color and NSFK. The first one is Baby Cobra and the second one is Hard Knock Wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I watched 30 Rock on Netflix and DH and I like Portlandia. Portlandia can be hit or miss, but when they hit it's hysterical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I thought Parks and red and 30 rock were so funny. 30 rock may be off Netflix now but maybe it’s streaming somewhere else. I think Portlandia can be really hilarious too, but I imagine it’s not everyone’s cuppa. I definite see bits of Portlandia in the urban hipster city I live in. I laught out loud sometimes when I’m out and about reminded of situations in Portlandia. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I loved Parks and Rec, IT Crowd, Arrested Development, and Jessie. I really liked Santa Clarita Diet too. I like the first season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt but haven't been able to get into the other seasons. I tried Portlandia but it didn't do it for me.
