7 Of The Funniest Must-Watch TV Shows Out There

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"

Giphy

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."

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
