There is the list of the Ten Smartest Shows and the Ten Dumbest Shows. So where are the shows for the humor lovers? Angry Seafood is here to help with our official list of the television shows we think are the funniest.
2. Seinfeld
No list of funny television shows is complete without this one, the show about nothing. The soup nazi…festivus…and of course the infamous scene below all make up one of our favorite tv choices in the humor department.
The oddest thing is for like the first two seasons nobody watched it. Amazing what a table change at a diner will do for ratings. The series finale was an interesting way to try and tie up all the loose ends but it gave you the sense it became less about nothing and more about something.
5. South Park
It is rare that a show can be so offensive and funny yet be so dead-on when it comes to topicality, twisting current events on their head. In the end, they joke about messages but there really is one in every episode we can all learn from. Awwww
7. SCTV
Unless you grew up in Canada you probably missed out on one of their best humor exports Second City Television. Starring many of the comedians you know and love like John Candy, Rick Moranis, and Eugene Levy, it was about a local tv station with their own form of programming like ‘Shoot at the Stars’ and ‘Doug and Bob McKenzie’ which later turned into the movie Strange Brew.
8. Happy Days
Life in the 50’s sure was cool except for that time Richie told Fonzie to ‘Sit on it’.
“In my office Cunningham!”
Times sure have changed since the 1950’s. The cool guys don’t live above people’s garages anymore. Those places are reserved for the creepy bloggers like me.
Without Happy Days there would have been no Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, the phrase ‘jumping the shark‘, or Fonzie’s Place.
And where the hell did Chuck go?
10. Wings
Tv.com calls this 90’s under-rated sitcom Cheers 2 which might be a compliment. I don’t agree but you can’t beat a combination of good acting and good writing along with funny guest stars like Gilbert Godfrey and James Handy.
The other five shows I didn’t bother with. They really weren’t that good anyways.
Visit Humor-blogs.com because they love television humor.
And potty-mouths. And they are funny.

Ten Funniest TV Shows
Like an annoying meme, everyone is making television lists lately. Maxim has their ‘Ten Dumbest Shows’ rankings which much have been hard to create due to all the reality programming. MENSA weighed in with their ‘Ten Smartest Shows’ version aft…

Nice new look, mister!
I watched Strange Brew just the other day, when celebrating Moranismas, my annual festival celebrating all things Rick Moranis.
It was glorious.

Hopefully you watched Ghostbusters as well. I think besides the original Honey I Shrunk The Kids, his best role was in the former film franchise.

hmmm the joke was that it was a top ten list but with only five results. Think we need a second list with five more!
I’ll post that one on Friday.
