Brooklyn 99 worked for me ages ago. And it's got lots of seasons if you need long distraction

Anything with Leslie Nielsen is great.

Yes, Prime Minister

Although maybe too much concentration. It has helped distract me during tough times though.

Good option, but I think there's better/simpler British comedies from that era. Definitely beats anything from the last decade.

The Producers and Blazing Saddles are probably my favorite comedy films ever. I'm also fond of The Hangover, Step Brothers, and Up in Smoke.

Simpler, yes. Better, not in my opinion. But of course that also depends on what your sense of humour is.

Community is pretty good, also Modern family, those are the first two off the top of my head. I think the UK version of the Office is probably my favourite comedy show of all time.

The Producers mention summond me istg I love.
And Blazing Saddles is EVERYTHING to me oh my god.

Gene Wilder is fantastic and him with Richard Pyror is unbeatable, a brilliant comedic duo. They're great together in See No Evil, Hear No Evil! Love that movie and also reccomend it for OP.

I'd never seen or heard of this show before, I discovered it while listening to tv show themes from the 80s onwards:



So I thought I could recommend something that's unlikely anyone else has recommended, since it's old. You could also follow the same method as me (listening to just all the tv themes) to find new shows too. A lot of stuff from the past is still very watchable!

I've been watching or listening to this on a second monitor, so it didn't require any concentration from me at all.

If you want jokes that make you laugh(some are dumb, so you might not), watch these guys doing dad jokes. You laugh, you take a shot! These guys are hilarious...

Taskmaster!

16 (I think) series on All4 and a new one starting this Thursday. Plus all the Champion of Champions and festive specials.

I found Ghosts (BBC) more entertaining than I expected and ended up bingeing through it after a recommendation.
