Comedy Suggestions

*Lethal Lullaby* · 06-14-2016, 10:07 PM

I really don't feel like digging through for a thread like this, so I'm just making my own.

Now, I'm honestly just looking for a good laugh, and if anyone has any suggestions of films and/or tv shows (animated or live action), I'd greatly like to know.

Thanks for your time! OuO

Check out Gaki No Tsukai, it's a Japanese variety show starring 5 comedians. The program is most famous for it's yearly "batsu games", a 24 hour event in which the members are made to take part in a special work work force mock up (such as cops or nurses) where the building they're in is chock full of gags, scares, performances, games, all kinds of madness designed to make them laugh. The twist? For every time you laugh, you will be physically abused, usually in the form of a bat or blow-dart to the ass. Watching these guys try to suppress themselves but ultimately fall victim is amazing every time. They also do weekly shows with different themes (where it's okay to laugh) like testing out hilarious kinds of torture, doing tasks they're extremely unprepared for, cooking odd items, identifying foods blindfolded, & many other things. If you're familiar with that old MTV show "Silent Library", they based it on Gaki No Tsukai.

If you just want general stand-up or something & aren't a politically correct sissy, I would suggest checking out stuff from Gilbert Gottfried, Artie Lange, Norm Macdonald, Bob Saget, & any affiliated acts. Oh, & for weird ass sh*t, Tim & Eric or The Eric Andre Show.

I feel a lot of stuff mentioned will be the usual but anyway for me...

Whose Line is it Anyway? (All - current)
Drew Carey's Improvaganza, basically the same, reruns weekends on LAFF.
Everybody Loves Raymond if you've never seen it.
Craig Ferguson. Stand-up, Late Show clips online, Join or Die on History Channel.

There's a lot more to list but I think it's pretty easy to tell.
