At times, all that is required is a good laugh, and luckily, Peacock has an abundance of such shows. In fact, if that’s what you want, the platform caters to all tastes in humor, be it razor-sharp wit, the chaos of a workplace, or the kind of cringe comedy that makes you cover your face with a pillow. Think of it as a list of the 10 funniest TV shows on Peacock that will cheer you up, put a smile on your face, and keep you company while you relax on the couch.
10. Stath Lets Flats
If secondhand embarrassment is your love language, this British mockumentary is required viewing. Jamie Demetriou stars as Stath, a wildly incompetent London letting agent, somehow managing to fumble through even the easiest tasks. The humor is wonderfully awkward, the delivery is bone-dry, and sibling chemistry between Jamie and Natasia Demetriou is off-the-charts. If you ever wanted The Office to lean even more deeply into cringe, this is the show for you.
9. Scrubs
Few comedies walk the line between silliness and sincerity as well as Scrubs does. The titular characters played by Zach Braff and Donald Faison have, to date, remained among the most iconic on-screen friendships. The show’s blend of surrealist daydreams, screwball humor, and heartfelt moments has made it endlessly bingeable across nine seasons. It tells stories that hit every emotional note-but don’t worry, most of those notes lead directly to laughter.
8. Everybody Loves Raymond
The classic sitcom makes family life hilariously messy. Ray Romano stars as sportswriter Ray Barone, who can’t seem to get out of the chaos created by his overbearing parents, brooding brother, and exhausted-but-loving wife. The rest of the cast, Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett, Peter Boyle, and Doris Roberts, bring a level of comedic timing that’s pretty hard to beat. It’s all so relatable, chaotic, and warm all at once.
7. The Carol Burnett Show
A masterclass in sketch comedy, The Carol Burnett Show remains funny to this day. Burnett, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, and Vicki Lawrence deliver sketches so sidesplitting that mid-scene, they tend to crack each other up. If you want to watch comedy legends doing what they do best, you can’t go wrong here.
6. Mr. Throwback
Adam Pally stars as a down-on-his-luck sports memorabilia dealer who ropes in none other than his childhood friend-NBA superstar Steph Curry, playing himself for a last-ditch comeback. What ensues is a goofy, sports-tinged buddy adventure complete with wild plots and inside jokes, plus a remarkably funny performance from Curry. Come for the basketball icon, stay for the ridiculous fun.
5. Community
The home of one of TV’s most creative comedies, Greendale Community College is where a study group becomes a catalyst for genre parodies, meta jokes, and some of the most ambitious sitcom episodes ever produced. Donald Glover, Alison Brie, and Joel McHale lead an amazing ensemble cast through a world where paintball becomes epic and throwaway jokes become legends.
4. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Detective Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and the rest of the 99th precinct deliver nonstop laughs with a healthy dose of heart. The ensemble cast-Terry Crews, Stephanie Beatriz, Andre Braugher, and more-bring rapid-fire comedy and plenty of warm, fuzzy moments. And yes, the cold opens truly are as good as everyone says.
3. Parks and Recreation
Pawnee is the place where a small-town government has been made fun of very nicely and with a lot of charm. Amy Poehler’s Leslie Knope is an amazing, upbeat influence that couldn’t be avoided, and she had a bunch of funny co-workers like Ron Swanson, Andy Dwyer, April Ludgate, and so on. The very sincere kind of humor and the characters you can’t forget are the reasons this show is the exact type of comedy that comforts you.
2. 30 Rock
Tina Fey’s backstage comedy about a sketch show is an out-and-out gag machine: Liz Lemon wrangles chaotic stars and unpredictable bosses while dealing with her own disasters, and Alec Baldwin’s Jack Donaghy comes up with some of the sitcom’s most quotable lines. Fast, clever, and jam-packed with gags, it’s a series that begs re-watching.
1. The Office
The most hilarious work environment series of all time is in the lead position. The Dunder Mifflin gang, under the guidance of Steve Carell’s Michael Scott, goes through horribly awkward meetings, greatly elaborate pranks, and painfully relatable office moments. Just because it has such memorable characters as Dwight, Jim, Pam, and Creed, The Office is still as great as it was when people first watched it, and is full of references that can be used in everyday conversations. Many people continuously press the “play” button and have no other explanation for it but the fact that it’s just so great.
So take a break, get comfortable, and start watching because Peacock has a great comedy lineup, and the next giggle of yours is just a click away.
