Looking for a laugh? Here’s a selection of TV shows on KrisWorld for a generous dose of humour.
Taskmaster
Imagine Britain’s funniest comedians humiliated for your entertainment — and loving every second of it. That’s Taskmaster: a gloriously absurd game show where series creator Alex Horne dreams up bizarre challenges and Greg Davies gleefully presides as host and judge. One minute, contestants are building towers of cans blindfolded, the next, they’re inventing loopholes to wriggle out of impossible instructions. With ridiculous prizes, outrageous stunts, and contestants turning frustration into comedy gold, Taskmaster is part endurance test, part genius showcase — and full-on hilarious.
Modern Family
For 11 seasons, Modern Family proved that normal is overrated. Following three hilariously dysfunctional but loving households — all connected, all chaotic — the series gave us everything from toddler tantrums to teenage drama and even let us watch its young stars grow up on screen. With sharp writing, lovable characters, and laugh-out-loud family disasters, it redefined what the ‘ideal family’ really looks like. Equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, Modern Family is comfort TV at its finest — like visiting relatives you adore, but don’t have to live with.
Loot
In this breezy, feel-good comedy, Maya Rudolph shines as Molly Wells, a freshly divorced billionaire who decides to reinvent herself by doing charity work — even if she has absolutely no clue how the real world works. Cue awkward board meetings, hilarious culture clashes, and a foundation staff full of lovable misfits just trying to survive her chaos. It’s part workplace comedy, part fish-out-of-water adventure, and 100% laugh-out-loud fun as Molly discovers that doing good can be just as chaotic (and hilarious) as being rich.
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage
The Big Bang Theory universe just got bigger (and funnier). Picking up after Young Sheldon, this sitcom follows Georgie Cooper (Montana Jordan) and Mandy McAllister (Emily Osment) as they navigate young parenthood. Watch them juggle diapers, marriage, and all the drama of ’90s Texas life.
With Georgie stumbling through teen fatherhood and Mandy rolling her eyes every step of the way, it’s sweet, nostalgic, and delightfully awkward. Filmed in classic sitcom style with a live studio audience, it’s got the heart of Young Sheldon and the laughs of Big Bang.
The Studio
This Apple TV+ series, one of the best shows of the year, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the chaotic, creative, and often absurd world of Hollywood.
Set in a fictional studio struggling to survive in the age of streaming, the show follows a mismatched team of writers, producers, actors, and executives as they navigate egos, idiosyncrasies, and personal drama, all while trying to make the next big hit. At the forefront is Matt Remick (Seth Rogen), an amiable film nerd and Hollywood suit who is appointed the new head of Continental Studios, a Hollywood brand that’s respected yet struggling to make money. Joining Rogen in the cast is a host of comedic heavyweights like Ike Barinholtz and Catherine O’Hara. They are joined by celebrities, such as Dave Franco and Zoë Kravitz, who cameo as themselves.
With sharp dialogue, satirical humour, and moments of heartfelt sincerity, The Studio pulls back the curtain on showbiz to reveal both the glamour and the grind.
How I Met Your Mother
The nine seasons of How I Met Your Mother were not without controversy. But its main cast’s chemistry is undeniably amazing — something that’s pivotal for a hangout comedy like it. And it’s this chemistry that has made it one of the most rewatched sitcoms of the last two decades.
Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) is a bumbling architect who’s a closet romantic. In episode one, an elderly Ted (Bob Saget) recounts to his children the story of how he met their mother. While fans voiced their displeasure with how the show fulfilled its day-one promise, the journey along the way became much more satisfying.
Loveable best friends, messy romantic pursuits, sharp writing, and snappy dialogue — yes, at its best, How I Met Your Mother contained all the essential ingredients of a fantastic hangout comedy. More than that, it was the show that filled the Friends-sized hole in comedy lovers’ hearts.
Friends
And speaking of Friends, there’s nothing truly like it. No other sitcom, save for Seinfeld and The Office, has enjoyed as much popularity and enduring appeal over the decades.
There can be many reasons, but Friends represented the ideal promise of sitcoms: familiarity, comfort, and laughs. For 10 seasons, Friends was a cultural phenomenon, making stars out of its six lead actors.
Twenty years since its finale, history has (mostly) been kind to Friends, whose hangout-comedy formula has inspired other shows such as The Big Bang Theory and Happy Endings.
