The IT Crowd (2006–2013)

There are few things more British than humour that is silly, absurd, and just a little bit naughty. And there are few TV shows that embody this kind of humour better than The IT Crowd.

The It Crowd is a British sitcom that originally aired from 2006 to 2010. The show follows the misadventures of a ragtag group of IT support workers, and the various hijinks they get up to on a daily basis. From getting trapped in the office to accidentally unleashing a virus on the entire company, there is never a dull moment with this team.

But what really makes The IT Crowd so special is the way it pokes fun at British office culture. With its dry wit and sharp observations, The IT Crowd is one of the best British comedy shows out there.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015–2019)

There are few things in life that are as fun and delightful as watching a great comedy TV show. When it comes to pure silliness, it’s hard to beat Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. The premise of the show is simple – after being held captive in an underground bunker for 15 years, Kimmy emerges into the world and has to start life over from scratch.

The ridiculousness of the situation is played for laughs, and the result is one of the best television shows around.

The cast is uniformly excellent, with Ellie Kemper leading the way as the hilariously naïve and optimistic Kimmy. If you’re looking for a show that will make you laugh out loud, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is definitely one of the best options out there.
