For that last part, every month we comb through the list of what's new on Netflix to see what's coming and going. With this research, we've kept an up-to-date list of the shows, movies and specials that will put a smile on your face and possibly have you laughing so hard you get tears in your eyes, all from the comfort of your own couch.

Our list of best comedy shows and movies on Netflix contains plenty of different styles, so whether you prefer dark comedy, satire or downright silliness, you're sure to find something you'll really love. Maybe you can even revisit some of your old favorites, as there's a wide enough selection to ensure that Netflix is one of the best streaming services.

Some of the best Netflix comedies included sitcoms that found a larger audience thanks to Netflix, such as "Seinfeld" (also on our best Netflix shows list) as well as stand-up specials from the likes of "Bo Burnham" and "Hannah Gadsby", just to name a few. We bet you'll discover something new and hilarious to keep you cracking up for years to come. And when you want something a bit more real, check out our best Netflix documentaries list.

On loan from HBO, Issa Rae's Insecure arrived with a ton of meta questions about Max sharing custody. Push those aside for a moment and realize that we should also be happy that Rae's show is getting a larger platform. Insecure explains the modern Black experience through the lens of Rae's own sense of humor, following long-time friends Issa (Issa Rae) and Molly (Yvonne Orji) in their late 20's.

Dark comedy BEEF, which comes from A24 and creator Lee Sung Jin, finds laughter inside of rage. And it all starts when a contractor named Danny (Steven Yeun) is on the wrong side of a parking lot where houseplant business owner Amy (Ali Wong) is trying to get out. Both are having very bad days, and they're both the kind of petty that creates a situation they should have been able to avoid.

The first three seasons of the amazing Comedy Central sketch-comedy show Key & Peele are now on Netflix, and you don't need to stand in line for a hug with the president to get them. This series gave us our introduction to its titular comedy geniuses well before we knew that one of them was a modern horror god. So, watch all of Key and Peele's first three seasons chronologically before you start taking notes on your favorite episodes, and treasure each of their weird characters. From Key's Mr. Garvey and his inability to pronounce white names to Peele's lonely Wendell Sanders, Key and Peele is amazingly rewatchable.

Freeridge focuses on sisters Gloria (Mejia) and Ines (Salaz) who bring their own extra drama to their South Central Los Angeles. And if Mejia isn't a familiar name to you yet, she should be. Recently caught stealing scenes on Abbott Elementary and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Keyla Monterroso Mejia is a rising comedic force to be reckoned with. Gloria's the Type A-sister while Ines is used to leaning on her.

And in Freeridge, a series that spins out of Netflix Original On My Block, we track Gloria and Ines through a mystery involving a box that their they and their friends Demi (Wilson) and Cam (Trainor) believe is cursed.

Terry Seattle (Will Arnett) is a foolish detective who is really full of himself. So, it makes sense that he's about to get a series of even more clueless partners. And they're all celebrities, from Conan O'Brien to Kumail Nanjiani. Heck Marshawn Lynch and Sharon Stone show up. And while Arnett's clued in on the "story" of the cases of the week (so to speak), his celebrity partners (who must solve the crime) don't have a clue. So they'll have to work together to find said clues.

If Netflix has been losing all of your favorite shows? Well, the good news is that it houses arguably the greatest sitcom of all time. So hit play on Seinfeld (turn on the subtitles if you want to see what they're yadda-yadda-yadda'ing about) and enjoy the antics of four of the most selfish New Yorkers this side of Newman. Trying to figure out where to start? Check out our guide to the 11 best Seinfeld episodes to watch on Netflix, which has excellent episodes to watch during your own personal "summer of George."

I didn't expect to love Wednesday, a series where a teenage Wednesday Addams is dealing with burgeoning powers and trouble at school. First, she's expelled from Nancy Reagan High for simply defending her brother (with a completely malicious act of vengeance). Then, she's enrolled at Nevermore Academy, where her parents met. Here, she has to deal with a complicated social structure and a principal who is seemingly always out to thwart her.

Most of the humor in Wednesday comes from star Jenna Ortega's performance as the titular goth girl. Somehow able to make the character her own, Ortega drops droll, deadpan reactions to everything from the habits of her roommate Enid to the "normies" who live near Nevermore. Also, Luis Guzmn may not get a lot of time as her father Gomez, but he makes every moment count.

Rian Johnson's Knives Out was a twisty-turny noir that felt perfect. The news that Netflix hired Johnson for Knives Out 2 and 3? Well, that was met with a mix of excitement and potential disappointment. And while Glass Onion doesn't catch Knives Out's lightning in a bottle, it thankfully doesn't attempt to. Instead, detective Benoit Blanc (Craig) has a new pair of mysteries to solve, and it all begins with an invitation to hang out with a wealthy tech mogul (Norton) and his friends on a private island in Greece. The festivities are meant to center around a fake murder mystery, but that doesn't last long. While Glass Onion has a fantastic cast, it's Kate Hudson who gets the best lines.

The grossest gang in Hollywood is back, and they've even got new friends. Yes, Jackass has returned (again) with the B-sides version of Jackass Forever (which is on Paramount Plus). This movie has a lot more interviews with cast than you might expect, so get ready to hear what life on the Jackass Forever set and how they were one of the first sets to resume filming during Covid (which explains how Johnny Knoxville's hair went from black to silver).

And when you hear Knoxville say "it just felt good," you know he's not talking about the stunts. Because some of these stunts (the plexi-glass one in particular) didn't feel good for those involved. Just expect some revolting moments, especially newcomer Zach Holmes' human sashimi incident.

Epps is set to perform three shows at the Wild Horse Pass casino resort on the Gila River Indian Community south of Phoenix near Chandler. He is scheduled to perform two shows on Friday, Sept. 29: one at 7 and the other at 10 p.m. He's also scheduled to perform at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 30. There will be a live taping of his new Netflix comedy special at both shows on Friday.

Tickets for the Sept. 29 tapings of Mike Epps' Netflix comedy special are sold out through Ticketmaster. However, tickets are available through resellers such as StubHub starting at $179 for the 7 p.m. show and $163 for the 10 p.m. show.

Due to high demand, another show was added for Saturday, Sept. 30, at 8:30 p.m. As of Sept. 28, tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster starting at $69 and on StubHub starting at $91. This show will not be a part of the Netflix comedy special taping but will have "all-new never-before-seen material," according to Gila River Resorts & Casinos.

Discounts are available at the box office for active members of The Card by Gila River Resorts & Casinos, the casinos' players club. Gila River Indian Community members with an enrollment card and Gila River Gaming Enterprises employees can also get $10 off.

The Netflix special will be filmed in a phone-free venue. Once you're inside the showroom, you are on-set for filming. Cellphones, smart watches, smart accessories, cameras and recording devices are not allowed.

All such devices will be sealed in a pouch that will be opened when the show is over. Guests will have possession of their phones at all times; anyone seen using their devices will be escorted out of the venue.

Comedy shows have been a core component of television for decades. From the classic sitcoms of the old days to modern productions that re-examine humor and challenge audiences, comedy TV series have been keeping up with the times as a form of entertainment that will seemingly keep standing strong as time goes by and other genres expand. People love comedy for many reasons. For one, they offer us a chance to escape from reality for a little while. You don't have to think too much to watch a comedy series and, on days when everything gets overwhelming, they are the perfect choice to have a good laugh and forget about your responsibilities, losing yourself in the crazy situations that the main characters of the show are living.

At the same time, they allow us to connect with our friends and loved ones through humor, which helped many series such as Friends or The Office to become huge phenomenons that completely transcended television and made their way into popular culture.

There are many reasons why comedy TV series have become so demanded and loved by audiences, who keep rewatching old shows while making room for all the new productions that premiere year after year. Maybe that's why they are so widely offered on streaming platforms and TV channels. Netflix is one of the streaming services with the widest variety of comedy shows, and many of them have become highlights within the genre. Check out the 10 best comedy shows available to stream on Netflix.
