Introduction
In 2025, comedy TV is enjoying a golden resurgence. From genre-bending satires to classic sitcom formulas revived with modern flair, streaming platforms are brimming with shows designed to make you laugh uncontrollably. Whether you’re into dry humor, absurdist antics, or heartfelt hilarity, this weekend is your perfect chance to binge. We’ve scoured Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV+, and more to bring you the most side-splitting and buzz-worthy comedy shows of the year.
1. Crisis Club (Netflix)
If The Office and Silicon Valley had a chaos-infused baby, it would be Crisis Club. Set inside a mismanaged government tech startup that accidentally launches a rogue AI chatbot, this mockumentary-style comedy thrives on sharp dialogue and increasingly unhinged plots. The cast, led by Sam Richardson and Maya Erskine, bring the absurd workplace energy to life. Don’t miss episode 6—it’s already being dubbed the funniest single episode of 2025.
2. Late Checkout (Prime Video)
Late Checkout flips the hotel sitcom on its head. Instead of quirky guests, the story follows a group of disgruntled overnight employees who use downtime to film parody soap operas, prank each other, and solve the occasional ghost mystery. With meta humor and lots of physical comedy, it’s earned comparisons to Superstore and Brooklyn Nine-Nine—with a weirder twist.
3. Dad Energy (Apple TV+)
This suburban dad comedy plays like a low-key, modern update to Everybody Loves Raymond. But it’s smarter, weirder, and somehow includes a barbershop quartet subplot that becomes central to the entire season. Starring Randall Park and Lamorne Morris as best friends navigating early midlife crises, Dad Energy mixes nostalgia, dad jokes, and emotional arcs surprisingly well.
4. LOL Files (Hulu)
A sketch anthology that leans into viral humor and digital parody. Each episode plays like a collection of the funniest corners of the internet—spoofing influencers, startup culture, AI art, and reality TV tropes. Think Key & Peele meets The Eric Andre Show, with Gen Z punchlines. The meme-ready skits have already taken over TikTok.
5. Roommates from the Multiverse (Netflix)
Multiverse fatigue? Not with this show. Roommates from the Multiverse turns the sci-fi trope into a hilarious roommate comedy where every version of yourself lives in the same apartment. From cowboy-you to yoga-instructor-you, the comedic range is endless. Episode 3 (“The Existential Potluck”) is now a Reddit favorite.
6. That’s So Meta! (Paramount+)
A laugh-a-minute commentary on Hollywood itself, this series stars actors playing exaggerated versions of themselves trying to get cast in a reboot of their own canceled 2010s show. It’s one giant inside joke, but somehow works even if you’ve never seen the originals. The cameos alone make this a binge-worthy gem.
7. Don’t Tell HR (Peacock)
Think of it as The Office for a post-remote-work era. Don’t Tell HR centers around a virtual workplace where employees abuse the rules of hybrid culture, sabotage Zoom meetings, and build rival Slack cults. Its deadpan humor captures the absurdities of modern work life perfectly.
8. The Laughing Hour (Max)
The Laughing Hour reinvents the variety show. Blending scripted sketches, improv segments, celebrity roasts, and audience chaos, it’s a throwback to Saturday Night Live but with modern flair. Hosted by Hasan Minhaj and Maya Rudolph, it’s a weekly serotonin shot.
9. Grocery Gladiators (YouTube Originals)
What started as a reality cooking spoof is now a cult comedy classic. Contestants try to shop for ingredients while being sabotaged by masked food critics, surprise quizzes, and musical numbers. It’s absurd, self-aware, and surprisingly wholesome.
10. Who Raised You?! (Netflix)
A generational clash comedy where a Gen Z influencer and his baby boomer granddad are forced to co-host a podcast. Their arguments, misunderstandings, and unexpected bonds make this both hysterical and heartfelt. It’s the surprise hit of summer 2025.
