Since comedy is so subjective, there are no rules to the genre. That’s why the definition of “ideal” in TV comedy keeps drifting back and forth between a myriad of subgenres. From dry to witty, from absurd to provocative, comedy has taken on several shapes and forms. And yet, even with so many new standouts and genre-defying epics, viewers find themselves in a rut when it comes down to choosing one show.
When in a rut, one should follow the golden rule of comedy: watch anything that instills a feel-good vibe. After all, that’s the only reason why viewers watch comedy in the first place. On that note, here’s a rundown of 10 comedy epics on Hulu that can make viewers feel good on even the dullest of days.
10 Better Things
FX’s Better Things revolves around the day-to-day snags of Sam Fox, a divorced mother who not only looks after her three kids but also balances that with her professional life. Although more relatable for single parents, Better Things’ well-written dramedy can be enjoyed by pretty much everyone.
What makes it stand out among other generic comedy shows is its genuineness. No characters in it are mere “comic devices.” Instead, it’s their amusing honesty and warmth that shines right through and gives a viewer a hearty laugh.
9 Atlanta
Starring Donald Glover and LaKeith Stanfield, Atlanta is set in the titular city that accommodates several talented up-and-coming rappers. Among them is Alfred Miles, who’s struggling to familiarize himself with the rap scene of the city while balancing it with his personal life.
Soon, Miles is joined by Earn, his cousin who is determined to get him the recognition he deserves. They together form a three men crew when Darius becomes Miles’ right-hand man and helps him rise up the ranks in the rap world. Defying common narrative styles, Atlanta jumps from one situation to another instead of following a sequential storyline. It still manages to be hilarious and equally dramatic throughout its runtime.
8 Shrill
From being self-obsessed to being self-actualized, Annie Easton is a young journalist who wants to turn her life around, ensuring that her physical appearance remains the same. Juggling toxic relationships, an annoying boss, and ill parents, she explores the murky waters of life, whilst realizing that she’s no different than most other people.
Shrill isn’t the kind of comedy series that throws punchline after punchline at a viewer. Instead, it balances its comic elements with some intense drama that is relatable for anyone who has felt ostracized because of their appearance.
7 Drake & Josh
This one’s more of a throwback to the mid-aughts when TeenNick made its young viewers laugh their hearts out with the quirky shenanigans of stepbrothers Drake & Josh. With contrasting personalities, the brothers struggle to adapt to each other’s presence while they live under the same roof and attend the same high school.
Unlike most old teen sitcoms, Drake & Josh isn’t weighed down by terrible acting or gross-out-comedy. It simply wins over its viewers with its lighthearted comedy and well-written familial relationships that are both relatable and dorky.
6 Key & Peele
The renowned dynamic duo, Key & Peele, takes viewers on a visual journey through their sketches that blur the lines between absurd comedy and clever social commentary. Although, for the most part, the jokes in the series are hit-or-miss, they hit more than they miss and almost never leave a dull moment.
Sketch comedies may not be for everyone. However, for viewers who are willing to immerse themselves in the gimmicky world of two masterful comedians, this one perfectly fits the bill.
5 The Last Man On Earth
Bringing a comic twist to the post-apocalyptic genre, The Last Man On Earth chronicles the adventures of a man who’s humanity’s only hope after a deadly virus has wiped out his entire race. Hoping to find food, shelter, and fellow survivors, Phil aimlessly floats from one place to another.
Phil, here, isn’t a typical dystopian hero. He’s just an average joe who’s new to the whole survival thing. And it’s this sincerity in his characterization that makes his loneliness and everyday dilemmas all-the-more relatable and funny.
4 Archer
At Archer’s fore is a master spy named Sterling, who works amidst top-notch international spies shamelessly backstabbing and screwing each other in the name of global crisis. In its initial few episodes, Archer may not appeal to many, but the longer one sticks to it, the more its gags re-occur and become expansively hilarious.
Although it may not seem like it with its traditional animation style, Archer ranks among the best comedy shows on television. Not to mention, its short 30-minute episodes make it perfectly binge-worthy.
3 Arrested Development
Winner of a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, Arrested Development centers on the Bluth family. Once well known in the world of business, they have now lost everything after their patriarch was convicted of fraud.
Enter Michael Bluth, the only level-headed member of the family, who has the responsibility of handling the family’s affairs. But it doesn’t take him too long to realize that managing the highly dysfunctional family won’t be as easy it seemed.
2 Black-ish
Dre Johnson’s life is almost perfect—he has a loving wife, kids, and a chic home in a high-end neighborhood. Even so, when he starts learning that his classy neighborhood accommodates a predominantly white population, he wonders if his success is negatively impacting his family’s cultural identity. In an attempt to sustain their cultural values, he creates an environment that helps them embrace their roots whilst adapting to their new life.
Without getting too preachy, Black-ish addresses its underlying racial themes with both profundity and comedy.
1 The Office (UK)
One can argue endlessly about which version of The Office is better—the original U.K. version or the American one. But regardless of how this debate gets settled, it cannot be denied that Ricky Gervais’s blatantly realistic take on horrible bosses and office dynamics has its own charm.
The ones who took the time to watch the 201 episodes of the American one should certainly check out the British version as well. And for viewers who haven’t seen either now have two great sitcoms on their watch list.
