The 87 Best Comedies of the 21st Century

"With everything going the way it is in the world right now, we're laughing to keep less cheery emotions at bay. (Seriously. We updated this list and first published that sentence months ago, but our ability to laugh about the situation seems to be the only thing improving? Yikes!) At least this bizarre, still-very-much-in-progress century has already produced a slew of spectacular, silly, snarky, and cynical comedies: ready to fire up whenever you need a serotonin burst or distraction thanks to the ever-growing cadre of streaming services."
