This world is a cold, hard place filled with war and famine and so on, closer to home you've got bills and busted gearboxes and cunts like Edmund... sometimes, most of the time, I want some escapism, something that genuinely makes me laugh.
Over the last few years I've asked people here and elsewhere for comedy recommendations. And I've tried loads of things, many of them very clever, interesting concepts cunningly explored, different techniques and ideas and so on... but very few made me laugh. And those that did tended to have like five laughs in episode one, three laughs in the next and so on so you watch the next few out of habit, then you suddenly think - hang on, I haven't laughed at all for three episodes.
But I know I have laughed at programmes over the years, so really despite the title, this thread is actually wanting recommendations that I may not have seen. Or let's split it into two questions, a general one for philosophical and historical interest, and a more specific one for practical purposes.
1. Has there ever been a television series ever that is actually funny and makes the viewer laugh properly often?
2. Has there been a tv programme in the last few years that I haven't seen that will make me laugh a lot?
Help me escape please!
