10 sitcoms that we like to laugh with!
Sitcoms mix entertainment and criticism in a very cheap production format that also helps us laugh a little. Let's review the best, which we never get tired of and watch them over and over again, with a few tears that count as so much laughter.
Sitcoms are part of our lives from the first moment we fall in love with one of the characters. To continue to fall in love with them and, as a small honor, let's review the ones we love the most and with which laughter is guaranteed. It doesn't matter if it's black humor or absurd, they all have less than half an hour so there's no excuse not to look at them. So let's start!
10. Hacks (2021)
With 15 nominations in the latest issue of Emmy, Hacks is, without a doubt, one of the new sitcoms that we must not lose sight of. On the one hand, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) is the best comedian in the country, a legend with a permanent show in Las Vegas, a lot of money, but with old jokes that are not adapted to the new times. As a solution, Ava (Hannah Einbindier), a Generation Z screenwriter, enters her life to help her restart her career as she tries to redeem herself after being canceled due to an unfortunate tweet. It is a clash of two strong women dedicated to humor who will share the best of each generation as their relationship grows stronger and tells us about the world of entertainment.
9. The Good Place (2016)
If we think of a beautiful series, the first one that comes to mind is The Good Place, although no one could have guessed from her shop. Eleanor Shelstrop (Kristen Bell) has just died and is waking up in the afterlife. Despite being a bad person in his previous life, she was sent to the good side. In order not to be sent to the bad side (hell), Eleanor will have to pretend and learn to be a good person.
8. Schitt's Creek (2015)
The Roses are a wealthy family who lose everything overnight, except Shita, a rural town off the beaten track that they bought many years ago as a birthday present joke. The father, Johnny Rose (Eugene Levy), is a successful businessman, and his wife Moira (Catherine O'Hara), the soap opera star. Their son is David (Dan Levy), a whining and meticulous rebel but Alexis (Annie Murphy) is a spoiled, classy, capricious daughter.
7. Love (2016)
A romantic comedy in its purest form and raw. Love is a series about sexual relations in the 21st century. Applications, negligence, casual sexual encounters, pornography, dildos. Everything has a place in the story in which the main roles are played by Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) and Gus (Paul Rust), two incompatible thirty-year-olds who eventually fall in love.
6. The End of the F *** ing World (2017)
How to describe the series so funny, dark, and where everything, surprisingly, fits? This British sitcom tells the story of a crazy adventure in which are James (Alex Lotter), a teenager who considers himself a psychopath, and Alice (Jessica Barden), a rebellious girl. Murder, nihilism, a fantastic soundtrack, a lot of British humor, and a very original upbringing come together at The End of the F *** ing World.
5. New Girl (2011)
Jess (Zoe Deschanel) is an elementary school teacher and she looks at everything with optimism. Until her longtime boyfriend breaks up with her, she has to share an apartment with Nick (Jake Johnson), Schmidt (Max Greenfield), and Winston (Lamorn Morris), three men she doesn't know at all and who are very different.
4. Master of None (2015)
The first two seasons came out before the accusations of sexual abuse against its creator and protagonist, Aziz Ansari, and they are worth watching. The Master of None tells the story of Dev Shah, a 30-year-old Hindu who lives in New York and who is looking for an acting job outside the Indian stereotype in which he is always engaged.
This sitcom brilliantly deals with racial and sexual diversity, in addition to classic comic situations that can happen between a group of friends and a city as magical as it is disappointing like the Big Apple.
3. Parks & Recreations (2009)
Yes, Aziz Ansari is the protagonist of Master of None and one of the most beloved characters in Parks & Recreations.
Parks and recreation are incomprehensible without Leslie Knop (Amy Poler), a character who loves her job with all her might: public servants in charge of the Department of Parks and Recreation in the (fake) city of Peacock in Indiana.
The best sitcom in the history of Time magazine, on a list compiled in 2012, follows a model of fake documentary and absurd humor that we like so much thanks to very well-constructed characters. With a luxurious cast, with names such as Rashida Jones, Chris Pratt, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Paul Schneider, Adam Scott, and Rob Lowe, among others, it is one of the series that the public loves the most.
2. Fleabag (2016)
Sitcom or drama? Everything, because Fleabag is everything, has everything and is everything we can dream about. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is acting and writing this comedy-drama in which her character, Fleabag, is a chaotic, clumsy, shameless woman who often wants us to kill her and, on the other hand, help her get out of a well she dug herself. But once you meet her, you can't stop watching.
Feminist, bold, full of black humor and with that disrespect and British undertone, her two seasons are (very) short. But it's not all laughter and, just like life itself, reality has its dramatic point, which eventually sneaks into the corners of the constant catastrophe that is the life of the main character.
1. The Office (2005)
Yes, it would be a crime not to include The Office (American version) on the sitcom list and, for us, it takes first place. Each season of the series is a master class of false, absurd experiences, clumsiness at the boiling point and the greatest idiocy ever imagined on the screen. The result? Laughter after laughter in every chapter of it.
