22 TV Shows That Are Wall-to-Wall Jokes
‘Too short a series, but ‘Police Squad’’
The fact that a TV show calls itself a comedy doesn’t make it so. We all learned that in 2007, when the Geico cavemen were given their own series, if we didn’t already know. It might not be bad but just hard to categorize for Emmy purposes, like The Bear or Succession. Then again, it might be Two and a Half Men.
But some comedies really deliver on that promise. We’re not talking subtle nods and witty repartee; we mean wall-to-wall hijinks, jokes stacked so thick that you’re still processing the last punchline when the next one sneaks up on you. That’s why user unitedfan6191 asked r/AskReddit, “Which sitcom has the greatest laughs-per-minute ratio?”
