The Most Unfunny Comedy Shows According to the Audience

Whether it's Seinfeld, The Office, South Park or some other beloved series, every comedy fan has their own answer to the question of "funniest show of all time" — but not one of them will ever name That '80s Show.

Look, it's very easy to crap all over some showrunner or screenwriter's earnest attempt to create a comedy series that brings joy into people's lives and money into their pockets. It's also very fun — that's why we do it so often. No comedian has ever started a project with the intention of making the most joyless, humorless, hack piece of shit that anyone's ever watched, no matter how much comedy fans hated Mind of Mencia.

Considering the number of missing children, families, planets and universes left in the wake of Rick and Morty's seven seasons, there aren't enough milk cartons in the Central Finite Curve to bring everyone home — if there even is a home for any of them anymore.

Like any Dan Harmon project, the continuity of Rick and Morty is carefully curated, chronicled and called-back with each successive season. No one-off character, secondary detail or secret plot line is off-limits for a return to the show, and even characters who got dramatic death scenes early in the series are likely to rise from the ashes as Phoenixperson at any given moment. As such, Rick and Morty fans comb through every frame of every episode with the meticulous intensity of Investigator Rick uncovering Evil Morty's Citadel conspiracy.
