The 50 best TV comedies since 2000
From mega-hits like How I Met Your Mother to cult favorites like The IT Crowd, we're counting down the shows that made us laugh the most so far this century
TV Lists Stand-up comedy
If the sudden streaming success of Suits is anything to go by, people seem to be coping with the effects of the writers’ and actors’ strikes by revisiting old TV favorites. It’s something we’ve found ourselves doing, too, cueing up some of our favorite comfort watches to get us through the dry spell. And it’s not a surprise that a lot of the series we keep returning to are comedies; in general, they make for an easy, satisfying watch. We’ve also been spoiled for choice this century. Since 2000, we’ve had one-season wonders like Undeclared, cultural juggernauts like Parks And Recreation, and feel-good hits like Schitt’s Creek to keep us laughing. In short, there’ve been a lot of great comedies over the past 23 years, and we figured it was time to reflect on—and, of course, rank—them.
Before we get into it, we need to acknowledge that comedy, and what counts as comedy, is ultimately subjective. For this list, we tried to limit ourselves to “comedy-first” series, or series that you’d describe as a comedy before anything else. We did include a few dramedies, but we tried to limit them to ones that lean heavily into comedy. Maybe it’s a fine line, or maybe it’s an arbitrary distinction, but either way, we had to narrow down our parameters somehow. See what made the cut for the best TV comedies of this century below.

This list needs more Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Comedy’s really subjective, and what’s funny for one person isn’t necessarily going to be funny for another person. I think this list did a solid job of covering bases for ‘types’ of comedy, even if I’d swap out some of these for Brooklyn 99, My Name is Earl, Future Man, Great News and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on my own personal list.
And now that you didn’t mention it, I think Raising Hope could have a place there.
I was surprised not to see ‘B99′ here. I wonder if the whole “copaganda” angle has tainted its legacy, but it’s still an incredible joke machine with masterful comic performances from the likes of Stephanie Beatriz, Andre Braugher and Joe Lo Truglio.
Other snubs: Gravity Falls, My Name is Earl, Tuca and Bertie, and Central Park. But a solid list overall.
I have a particular soft spot for Mythic Quest.
That is a solid list! The one entry I miss is “Detectorists” — granted, it is, in a way, about middle-aged guys trying to deal with what comes up in the soil and in life. But MacKenzie Crook! Toby Jones! Those beautiful, beautiful landscape shots! Just a wonderful comedy that is precisely observed, warm, and low-key funny. Plus, it’s short enough that it managed to stay basically perfect up until the end. Not much seen across the pond, I figure, but well worth your time if you like, say, that Schur-like quality of having characters who are not assholes, while still being interesting.
For anybody looking for the tone of The Detectorists done in the style of The Office (UK), I wholeheartedly recommend This Country. It’s a little hard to (legally) find stateside once it dropped off of Hulu, but totally worth it if you can.
I think this show is pretty well known around the AV Club at least. Plus it streams on every free service for my Roku. I love the theme by Johnny Flynn, nature porn, the low key, dry humor, the occasional light supernatural atmosphere and general nerding out. Toby Jones is fatastic as always. Plus, my understanding is that Crook wrote, starred and directed? Impressive.
There are quite a few asshole, though. Characters like Tony and Maggie, the Mayor as well as Simon and Garfunkel, whose redemption arc was pretty great, but they’re all played as the antagonists. The leads, while not straight up assholes, do show their flaws. Also great to see Aimee-Ffion Edwards play an asshole/badass on Slow Horses.
I found it very calming during the height of the pandemic
So the “hasn’t aged well” episode of HIMYM is the Britney one, not the yellowface one?
There’s a lot of 2000s television that didn’t age well. I’m glad that we’ve been able to get past a lot of the homophobic and transphobic humor that made up 90s and 2000s sitcoms *looks directly at Friends*.
Oh ffs. Or maybe “we” are grown up enough and intelligent enough to understand our modern, progressive support for LGBTQ2S+ people isn’t going to be affected by watching and enjoying an older series.
Friends wasn’t even close to be the top offender. I mean they ALL did some kind of homophobic humor.
Yes of course Friends the series that had a lesbian wedding at a time when it was illegal and the majority were opposed to it was homophobic. Because of course. The progressive are so stupid. All these things aged very well and are not problematic but for a tiny minority of crazy people who for some reason, living in an echo chamber, think they are the majority.
How is Happy Endings not on this list??
Amen! Happy Endings was really really good.
New Girl being as high as it was and Happy Endings not being on there at all is astounding. That’s like making a list of best 90s sitcoms and putting Friends at the top while leaving Seinfeld off.
Good list but I didn’t watch alot of your top 10 list, just not for me.My top 31. Venture Bros2. Veep3. Arrested Development.Curb would be higher but I started late on the show and Sunny would round out my top 5.
Notice the Late Great Jessica Walter is in two of the best on this list. RIP “Mother”.
I’d weep for her, but I cannot spare the moisture.
She’s getting off on withholding from the angels now.
Notice the shift from network shows, multi-year and many many episodes to the streaming era with 3 seasons of 8-10 episodes. Things have changed. This is part of the reason for the strikes, I would guess.
You’re right. The lack of stable work caused by shorter seasons and fewer seasons is one of the driving factors behind the writer’s strike.
Thanks for including Undeclared. I was out of college for years by the time it came out, but it seemed very true to life. Aliens in America is another “cancelled too soon” one I’d add.
Aliens in America seemed like it had such a hacky premise (Americans do stuff like this but the foreign guy does stuff like that!) but it was just so well realized. It’s a shame how under the radar it flew.
Aliens in America and Outsourced were both likely pitched as “people think Apu from The Simpsons is funny. Why not have an entire show be that?”
Abbott and Superstore should be higher up. No Freaks and Geeks?
Leaving out Happy Endings is a tragic oversight.
I am surprised Workaholics did not make the Top 50, that show was flat out hilarious.
I wanna throw Hulu’s Casual onto the list, it was probably my favorite show while it was on. Ditto for Future Man, which was funnier to me than a lot of this list. And Stan Against Evil was the perfect vehicle for John C. McGinley post-Scrubs. Also, where the hell is Happy Endings? Eliza Coupe is one of the funniest people on the planet to me, I want everything she’s in to be properly appreciated (I was apparently the only one who enjoyed Pivoting with her, Maggie Q and Ginnifer Goodwin). And no Single Drunk Female either?Honestly, this list is kind of a mess!
Happy Endings definitely deserved a spot. One of the funniest sitcoms of the past oh so many years.
Happy Endings 100% belongs near the top of the list, but I also wanted to tell you that we also watched Pivoting and were bummed it didn’t even get a second season.
Thank you! It was so fun. Obviously Eliza Coupe is hilarious, Tommy Dewey from Casual as her husband was great, but Maggie Q was kind of a comedy revelation to me. I had no idea she could be so funny!
Future Man is extremely underappreciated. We need a petition to get it back on a streaming service!
I’m glad to see at least someone has the courage to rate the US Office higher than the Brit version. I wonder what percentage of people who consider the US version the poor cousin are just the kind of people who automatically assume the British version is better because it’s British. I know Cunk on History is only referred to here but that shattered a personal record for the speed at which I changed my mind about a show. I started watching it, thought it was great. Then about 10 minutes in I started wondering if it was as great as I thought. 10 minutes later I hated the very bandwidth it was using. It’s pretty much the same joke delivered extremely ad nauseum.
As much as I love Home Movies, I actually think Metalocalypse is Brendon Small’s magnum opus (and tied with Venture Bros. as the best original programming Adult Swim has ever aired).
I know it’s a hard sell because not everyone listens to metal (heck, I knew zero about metal before watching the show), but I think a lot of the commentary about celebrity and fan culture applies to all genres of music.
Adult Swim really screwed the pooch in not giving it a proper ending, as intricate as the overarching “shadowy cabal” story was
Isn’t there a final movie, that comes out today?
well hot damn! evening plans established
Didn’t the series finale movie just get released the other day?
Today! That dropped off my radar a long time ago. This has to be the most positive effect on my life any g/o article or comment has had
Think Reservation Dogs is a bit low. Man Seeking Woman was one I really liked – strange and funny.
One of the finest shows of the last decade. I suspect appreciation for Reservation Dogs will only grow as the years pass.
I am genuinely astounded by the fact that Ted Lasso isn’t on this list. I realize people think the second and third seasons had some ups and downs (and some people thought it went “off the rails” — I disagree, personally), but the first season alone should get it on the list. The first season is basically perfect, and the second and third aren’t too much worse.
I just wanted it to be over by the end. I enjoyed the first season, but the decision to supersize all the episodes after the success of the two “specials” in season three (?) was a mistake, in my book. One can only consume so much saccharine in one sitting…
LOVE to see some respect put on Delocated. This is overall, a very good list and I’m glad to (1) see that the AVClub still has a decent memory when it comes to TV and (2) see that we’re not willing to let S5 (and less so S4, which has its moments!) drag down AD’s legacy.Personally, Eastbound & Down would still win over the Gemstones, as much as I think Edi Patterson is an incredible edition to the Danny McBride clan.
Eastbound and Down is one of the best. I see that you considered it, but it’s way funnier than most shows on this list.
Arrested Development is only #1 if you ignore everything after season 3.
Party Down, Silicon Valley, Happy Endings?
The failure to mention Happy Endings surprises me, mostly because of the love affair AV Club had for the show at the time. Then again, that’s when the site had actual writers.
Happy Endings was done dirty by ABC. The release schedule for S3 was anything but consistent. How they turn a 6-8 million viewer show in S2 down to a 3-4 million show in S3 still doesn’t make sense to me.
It was their classic approach of “this show’s doing pretty good following Modern Family, let’s take away that lead-in, put it head to head with another popular sitcom that appeals to much the same demographic, and see what happens.”
Loudermilk and Fisk are really, really good.
Again, I have to stress that WHAT THE MONKEY CHOOSES TO DO WITH THE TECHNOLOGY IS NOT NECESSARILY AN INDICTMENT OF THE TECHNOLOGY ITSELF…
While I love that New Girl made it to the top 10 and Arrested Development is numero uno, this list is missing:Psych, Scrubs, B99 and Ted Lasso.Coupling(British version) also had some great episodes.
Very glad to see zero Chuck Lorre shows on this list. Thank you.
I’m gonna be that person.No Brooklyn Nine-Nine?????????!
No B99, no Ted Lasso, No Scrubs (but not in a TLC way).
Of course no mention of the very funny ‘Louis’ show. its as if that show never existed. Also weirdly missing is Legit with Jim Jeffries.
Also no Malcolm in the Middle :/
Honestly, the further I scrolled I was starting to be both excited and worried – it was either going to be ranked as highly as I would personally rank it, or it was going to be snubbed entirely, which should be illegal.
Yeah that was an omission – but so was Happy Endings.Good list, and comedy is subjective, but .. those shows were funny. Scientifically.
came here to say this one too
Agreed. I was also thinking The Inbetweeners, Malcolm, and Silicon Valley. To each his own though.
Great list, and I appreciate the additional suggestions in the comments.
“The live-audience, multi-cam setup takes a few episodes to get used to.”Pardon me while I crumble into dust.
A decade later, I’ll still stump for the unedited fourth season of Arrested Development. Incredibly funny and clever, if a bit sad, and even if it takes some time to get going. Season five, however, is pretty bad, especially the final episode.
Honorable mention, just missing the cut, A.P. Bio.
I really liked A.P. Bio a lot, and its first season had such a brilliant turn of the plot at the end. But it’s one of those shows that the critics seemed to more-or-less ignore after the perfunctory initial review.
I loved the first couple seasons. But it went downhill when it went Peacock-exclusive.
I would have moved the Venture Brothers into the top ten, as its rapid-fire, self-referential style of comedy, along with its evolving storylines and gags that built up over the course of whole seasons, makes it a precursor to classics like Bojack, Archer, and Rick and Morty, and every bit as good as those shows at their peaks.I also can’t see placing Arrested Development at #1 just because of how hard it fell off in its final two seasons. Top ten, sure, but that fourth season is ROUGH.For my money, The Good Place belongs at #1.
You’re missing out leaving “Miracle Workers” off this list. Each season takes the same actors but completely changes the premise and characters (season 1 is angels in heaven, season 2 is the Dark Ages, 3 was Oregon Trail, and the current season is basically a riff on Mad Max). Daniel Radcliff’s “She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain” performance alone should earn them a spot on this list.
No one’s truly missing out on anything. While it’s odd that the show did improve *after* creator Simon Rich left, it is constantly and consistently brought low by Jon Bass, Geraldine Viswanathan, & Karan Soni’s desperately amateurish acting efforts.
One of, if not the most jaw dropping moments in television in the last 20 years. Daniel Radcliffe earned so much respect from me for his commitment to the bit. He’s not going to win an Emmy for Miracle Workers, but I don’t know of another actor more willing to put it all on the table. (And for what its worth, his season 4 Miracle Workers finale performance features an even more ripped and physical fit physique.)
Derry Girls is a work of genius.
How is “Workaholics” not on this list?
The closer I got to #1 the more I thought you guys were gonna nail the landing with Happy Endings. HOW, you guys??
Solid list and actually a good reminder of some things I have been meaning to watch (Los Espookys S2, for example).
As pleasantly surprised as I am to see Delocated so deservedly high, I am also shocked to see a lack of placement for its brethren Children’s Hospital, NTSF:SD:SUV, and Newsreaders, which were all sublimely crafted hilarity.
No Malcolm in the Middle?! It was from 2000-2006. One of the best comedies IMO.
It’s extremely niche but I would put Garth Marengi’s Darkplace in my personal top 10. SCTV trained me to appreciate that kind of very specific parody.
I think the problem with Dark Place is there’s simply not enough of it. It’s like Stewart Lee said of Bill Hicks- “I wish I could be judged on two hours of material.”
The line “I know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards!” will live in my heart forever.
I’d almost be willing to have a priest at my funeral if his eulogy include “sometimes he can come in at an angle, hover, swoop, the Lord, it’s his call how he chooses to maneuver”
Same, along with Toast of London.
Veep is in the top 5, I’m content with this.Happy Endings is a glaring omission, however.
Good list of snubs in the comments and I’ll add another in Better Off Ted.
“We’ll have eyes everywhere, and not like that time we spilled that jar of eyes.”
Yes – if there were any real people writing for AV Club now, I’d suggest they volunteer to be frozen.
An absolute gem of a show that somehow gets funnier (and more relevant) with time. Veronica alone makes Better Off Ted worthy of this list.
No Barry?? And if you’re including Veep, where’s The Thick of It? Glad to see Patriot, though. The opening of the first episode hooked me immediately, very underrated show.
I’m fairly positive arguing with the author(s) isn’t going to inure me to much of anyone but, while the list you’ve put together is by most accounts a very solid collection of comedies, there are a few huge missteps.
namely, How I Met Your Mother, and New Girl (the fact they’re both major studio comedies is not lost on me).
both shows attempt to showcase humor via stupid and lazy jokes and/or tropes, and when they attempt to introduce some sort of emotional heart, they just end up treading well-explored waters with nothing new to say; this isn’t even going into the weeds to discuss e.g. HIMYM’s final season (the complete waste of time spent on the wedding, Barney’s out of character turn — not that he was EVER anything but a thinly-drawn caricature to begin with, the death that shook an entire fandom)… and let’s also not forget that the cast is entirely white, almost strictly dunks on female characters, and a primary source of humor is the horrifically misogynistic bullshit one character proclaims to be a way of life.
I’m not trying to say that HIMYM or New Girl are like … the worst television comedies of all time or anything… but with so much amazing material being generated over the past few decades, it feels disingenuous to give two of the top 50 spots to relatively insipid television.
if you were asking me, I’d try to include some Australian/Kiwi comedies (Please Like Me absolutely deserves a spot somewhere in the list; Deadloch is a recent entry but the first season was a delightful mix of satire and heart).
It’s acceptable to not label Succession a comedy like the others on this list. And I’m in full agreement that nothing can touch AD’s first three seasons, including their dogshit later seasons. But where’s I Think You Should Leave?
Looks like there’s not any sketch comedy on the list.
Should’ve had GLOW too and we would have had the deserving Alison Brie trifecta
Good call.
Holy shit this list is chaotic.No Party Down is criminal. Patriot should be higher. Better Off Ted should be here. US Office better than UK?? No Extras?
Eastbound and Down should be here in TRG’s place. Yikes.
OMG. Thank you for reminding me about Better Off Ted. And, if you’re going to consider that, how about Santa Clarita Diet.
Santa Clarita Diet would make my cut— and season 2 was incredibly well-plotted, to boot— but it’s also one of those shows critics never talked about so I was unsurprised it didn’t get a slot.
“US Office better than UK??”
So much better.
30 rock is better than almost anything on this list. the fact its 10 is mind blowing
I can’t argue with #1, but 30 Rock is too low, among a few other minor quibbles like Venture Brothers not being rated higher but I get that it isn’t really as popular.
Louie is one of the best comedies of all time. And yes, I know.
Pretty solid on the whole. There were a few shows I didn’t like on here (Girls), or that started off strong but then turned into something I didn’t like (BoJack Horseman, The Good Place) or got sick of (Archer), but the critics haven’t shared my opinion on those shows for years now so I didn’t expect to see anything different here.Delighted to see Undeclared on here— I was a junior in college when it aired, not a freshman, but it felt really true to my experience in a way shows like this rarely do. Also delighted to see American Vandal, which I would not have ranked that highly but was still tremendously funny and compulsively watchable. Da Ali G Show and American Dad! were good to see; the former was incredibly funny and easy to forget in the subsequent Borat-mania and also the sheer time that’s passed; the latter became an astoundingly solid and consistent series for how long it’s run. It’s still going strong.I guess no sketch shows, then, huh?If Arrested Development had kept up the quality of its first two seasons for even longer, it’d be my clear #1. As it is, 30 Rock and It’s Always Sunny’s quality at length puts them ahead of it for me. And Nathan For You also belongs in that same rarefied tier.Biggest omissions were Party Down and Happy Endings. Seriously, what the hell. Those would be my next two choices after the four shows in the above paragraph.Don’t Trust the B—— in Apt. 23 and Detroiters are next for me on the omissions list. Better Off Ted belonged on here, and I might be the only person around who will vouch for F Is For Family, but it was tremendous at its best (seasons 1, 4, and 5 in particular). I have more in my personal list, but those stand out above the rest. I was surprised not to see The Thick of It on there, and I guess Barry isn’t really considered a comedy, and personally all three of the Jody Hill / Danny McBride shows would show up for me. But all in all, not bad at all.
I doubt many Americans have seen The Thick of It, and the parochial nature of British parliamentary politics likely limits its appeal anyway — hence the reason why Veep exists.Just came across a good list of British sitcoms of the 2000s, even though it doesn’t have Fleabag on it, which is just bizarre:https://londonpedia.co.uk/whats-the-best-british-sitcom-of-the-21st-century/A personal favorite of mine is Yonderland which was created by and stars the same team that has since brought us Ghosts – the original UK version. It’s an endlessly creative zany comedy fantasy (with puppets!) that both adults and children can enjoy. Sadly it doesn’t appear to be streaming anywhere in the US.
How did they miss Happy Endings! Don’t Trust the B— in Apt. 23 was a great show and highly underappreciated. While I would have loved to have seen it on the countdown, I can’t say I’m terribly surprised. James Van Der Beek earned a special place in my heart for being an actor willing to play such a douchebag sendup version of themselves on tv. And speaking of James Marsden, I would have also loved to have seen Jury Duty on this list, but with only one season I guess there wasn’t enough of a history. With all of the non-network tv shows on this list, I am also surprised that HBO’s Bored to Death didn’t make the list.
While I get why it was left out, BBC’s Ghosts is one of the funniest shows I’ve seen in recent years. If it had a bigger audience, it would easily belong on this list. I’ve not watched the American version as the idea of replacing the Horrible Histories ensemble is such an unnecessary step. I plan to check it out after the fifth and final season airs later this year, but only then. It’s hard to imagine anyone improving upon perfection.
Brooklyn 99?Kath and Kim?Our Flag Means Death?
Missing: Loudermilk, Fisk, Corner Gas and Kim’s Convenience.
ScrubsThe LeagueBig MouthEastbound & DownParty DownSilicon Valley
TRAILER. PARK. BOYS.
I guess it’s down to me to beat the drum for ‘Corporate’, a viciously funny and bleak evisceration of capitalism and business culture. It also showed off the incredible comic timing of the late great Lance Reddick.
Corporate was great.
I have to agree with a lot of people here that Scrubs, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Party Down, and Silicon Valley not making this list is a crime.
And It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia should be in the top 5.

There REALLY are a lot of good comedies out there. Three you missed: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, AP Bio, Girls 5Eva
I was disappointed to not see Better Off Ted on this list. Also, Ted Lasso. Give the Teds some love!
Review way too low
Where’s Difficult People?
The Other Two?
Maybe it’s me, but I don’t find that show that funny per se. I like some of the looks at celebrity, but it just seems kinda vapid.
I actually stopped watching “Better Things” because the kids were absolutely despicable characters.
My petty missing shows: Ted Lasso, Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place, Toast of London and the new Harley Quinn
On the whole, this list is hard to argue with, barring some quibbles on ordering. A couple I probably would have added: Sex Education, Harley Quinn, Veep, Ghosts (UK and US versions). Huge props for including Letterkenny, though. I’m torn between wanting it to get more exposure, and worrying that the US will make a horrible remake.
It’s a good list. I would have Parks and Rec and 30 Rock higher than Community and Arrested as their later seasons just weren’t as strong. Parks and Rec and 30 Rock were much more consistently solid.
I think the discussion here could also be used to create a fantastic alternative/left off list with a number of worthy additions.
No “Succession”?
Seriously, I expected it to be top five at least, arguably number one.
