Best comedy series with the most rewatchability

Whenever people want to kick back and relax, there's nothing better than putting on an episode of one comedy series that fans are familiar with. While starting a new series in this genre can be appealing for its own sake, it can be daunting at times when fans don't want to have their minds turned on all the time and judge whether they even like the show they're watching. Instead, the convenience of a show people already know they like is enticing and makes some comedy shows a blast to watch.

Most sitcoms are inherently rewatchable as long as they have a simple but engaging premise with a bunch of memorable characters to bounce jokes off of. The best of the bunch have a huge following, with fans loving the coziness of these shows as they either relive the great writing or catch a bunch of details and such that they had missed.

5 Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Nice writing and memorable characters that never outstay their welcome

A comedy show with cops isn't easy to pull off, that's why Brooklyn Nine-Nine is such a good comedy show. The talents of Andy Samberg and the rest of the cast are on full display as fans are treated to some quality banter and fun sets. From the iconic Backstreet Boys song to the interrogation sequence where Peralta tries to break a suspect only to feel the pressure himself, it's easy to see why Brooklyn Nine-Nine captured the hearts of many with its limitless charm.

It helps that characters like Rosa, Holt, Amy, Charles and Gina hold down the fort when they get their time to shine, bringing a unique energy to the screen that helps them stand out. No matter how many times fans watch Brooklyn Nine-Ninethe laughs never end and make it clear why fans can't get enough of this show.

4 Friends

A feel-good show with legendary characters that is a joy to witness every time

Friends was a cultural phenomenon that slowly transformed the main cast into one of the most iconic groups in television history that flowed perfectly with each other. It's a staple of pop culture that still endures to this day, with fans loving how the show turns an ordinary premise into something special. Ross, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Rachel will remain in the hearts of many long after people finish this series to the end.

Although the show faces a lull of sorts in the latter half, the writing is still top-notch, delivering jokes at a brisk pace despite audience laughter interrupting the flow of dialogue from time to time. It can be easy to lambast comedy shows that rely on laugh tracks to help their jokes land, but Friends is one of the rare examples of a show that can air in modern times and still gather many loyal fans who can't get enough of the incredible chemistry of the main cast.

Excellent writing and heavy references keep this Dan Harmon classic relevant to this day

Dan Harmon is one of the most talented writers around who deserves his props for bringing to life some of the funniest comedy shows of all time. Despite Community with its fair share of ups and downs, fans love this series to pieces for its clever writing, clever references, and a host of memorable characters that manage to shine whenever the spotlight is on them.

The high concept episodes of this show are where Community shines, with the prolonged paintball showdowns and Abed's countless shenanigans serving as one of the many highlights of a series packed with hilarious episodes. Some of the main characters came and went as the series went on, but the fans love it Community regardless. Still, the show is at its best and quite rewatchable for the first few seasons before some problems pop up every now and then.

2 The office

Steve Carell is the beating heart of an awkward mockumentary that delivers its laughs in spades

A mockumentary that explores one of the most dysfunctional offices of all time, it's incredible to see how many things go for The office in its early movements. Michael is an obvious mention, with his ridiculous antics showcasing Steve Carell's acting masterclass and how he expertly portrays this strange character. Along with this, there is also the captivating love story of Jim and Pam that is a joy to watch unfold, and that's not even mentioning the other members of the cast who bring their strengths to the table.

Dwight's quirks make for hilarious moments, and the chemistry he shares with Michael is incredible. The accounting team of Angela, Oscar and Kevin are as diverse as can be and are a joy to watch when they get some screen time. Creed and Meredith somehow manage to be more clueless than Michael, which is saying something. Finally, poor Toby becomes a punching bag for Michael whenever HR needs to step in, which happens more often than not in a show where almost every episode will deliver its laughs in spades no matter how many times people watch it.

1 Rick and Morty

The strong character writing, the exciting plot, and certain locations for certain episodes make it clear why fans can't get enough of this incredible series.

That helps Rick and Morty are filled to the brim with one-off gags, intriguing references, and fun background details that add to the lore of a show that's far more serious than most would assume. Fans can watch multiple reruns of this series and find something new in the show's many episodes each time, a testament to Dan Harmon's multi-layered writing on full display here.
