Post What shows make you laugh?
So we all need to laugh sometime. I try to laugh as much as possible especially when rent is due, lose an auction, or I get a celga invoice. Was wondering what shows make fellow skullbrainers laugh the most? Lately for me:

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (been watching this since it's inception and it's finally catching on now which is good)
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Flight Of The Conchords
Mighty Boosh
Nathan Barley

and of course the two standard ones:

Seinfeld
Family Guy

I just went through the first two seasons of Always Sunny on hulu.com. Good stuff.

My favorite show right now, and the best cartoon I think has come out in years.

Same shows for me
I just watched all of Nathan Barley about 2 days ago! Such a great show. I'm hoping they do a region 1 Boosh box set, but I'm getting used to watching all this stuff on YouTube. Bouncy Castles- Genius!

The Office, Reno 911, 30 Rock, Scrubs (It's funny to me like "The Office" probably is to people who work in offices.), Robot Chicken, Seinfeld, and I'm sure there are others I'm just not thinking of

No Arrested Development love?

Curb, Family Guy, Seinfeld, Venture Bros.

Speaking of VB, I really hope they get season 3 out on DVD ASAP.

Season 3 of Venture Brothers has been kinda disappointing, I thought. Still buying it when it comes out, but the magic's kinda worn out.

WHover mentioned the Misadventures of Flapjack..great choice. That show is so totally over the top. I'm amazed it got on the air. Plus it looks great.

I have to give serious props to 30 Rock, I'm just in stitches from that show.

Futurama and Family Guy of course.

How about this --

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace? I think there are six episodes, and holy crap, they are just about one of the funniest things I have EVER seen. I would think board members on Skullbrain would eat it up, def. some monsters to be seen. It's "intentional kitsch" and just hits the nail squarely on the head.

Metalocalypse is the best thing ever.

Also:

It's Always Sunny In Philly
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Little Britain
Catherine Tate
Venture Bros.
Upright Citizens Brigade*
Kids In The Hall*

*I had the extreme pleasure of seeing both of these live. Amy Poehler is incredibly nice and very chatty.
