Granted, I find nearly everything funny, including Arthur and some episodes of Dragon Tales, but are shows like The Office, Parks & Rec, or Portlandia lost on some people? I have friends who love the shows, but I tried watching The Office (American version) with my mom once and she never cracked a smile! It could just be a generation gap/ age difference. So I'd like to know, what shows with stupid humor do you find funny, or do you like them at all?

I'd post a example video but I forgot how, so here's the link:

99% of American sitcoms are not funny to me at all.

I don't like The Office and avoid it like the plague. The others I've never seen. I do get a kick out of some stupid humor just not all of it.

I find the Office unwatcheable (brit version) I don't laugh, I cringe, and wish I was doing something else - same with the Extras, I think it's just a Ricky Gervais thing. I haven't really seen the US version.

I could never get into Mighty Boosh

I find things like Swift and Shift couriers hilarious, now THERE is stupid humour at it's best

I honestly don't watch any of these modern comedies on TV. Which is why when people talk about them, I just look like-- because I'm totally out of the loop. Every now and then I'll watch episodes of The Office. It's sometimes funny in a chuckle way or a rude humor way. Other than that, I tend to keep it old school. I scramble to get up early to watch I Love Lucy and Petticoat Junction on MeTV. I adore The Cosby Show and Golden Girls.

I mean...I'm an ass in my own family because I said I can't stand either of those Tyler Perry comedies on TV right now. Oh well. GOD I love Arthur. I would come home everyday to watch it. Hell, if I'm in a good mood nowadays I'll watch it. One children's show that cracks me up is Peep in the Big World. I know it's educational, but that duck with the hat is so selfish...reminds me of Ted Baxter from the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Arthur is off the chain.

The swearing episode is hilarious

my fave sitcom is the big bang theory and comedian is russell brand

i love the show that France and Saunders made but no one else in my work like they claim its to stupid. i don't care

i quite enjoy British comedy.... always funny and quick witted

I haven't watched TV in months tho.... but when lill Britain was on and those two had me in stitches

I barely watch television. But the shows that cracked me up were - DAVE CHAPPELLE, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, EXTRAS, THE OFFICE, & THE BOONDOCKS.

I love to see people falling over.

Something I laughed at recently was this -
