These 3 Shows Considered the Funniest Sitcoms of All Time by Reddit

And when it comes to sitcoms, there are many popular series available which are always perfect for cheering us up. But which sitcoms are the funniest? A Subreddit has been trying to answer that very question for a while.

So here are the top 3 sitcoms considered the best according to Redditors.

Seinfeld (1989-1998)

Seinfeld, created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, is often described as a show about nothing but yet also a show about everything. It follows the lives of four friends, Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, Elaine Benes, and Cosmo Kramer, as they navigate the absurdities of life in New York City. Seinfeld's observational humor and quick-witted one-liners have become a staple of pop culture since and have made the show an all-time favorite.

What Redditors love about the show is its reliability and how it rarely dips in quality throughout its 9 seasons. The writing is also considered some of the best in sitcom history, and the common quotability of its lines is part of what has kept it relatable for so long.

Friends (1994-2004)

Friends is a show that revolves around the lives of six friends, Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, and Ross, who live similarly in New York City. Differently to Seinfeld, however, is the show's blend of humor, romance, and friendship that has captured the hearts of millions of viewers worldwide. The iconic Central Perk set has now become a cultural landmark, and the show's catchphrases and characters are just as popular today.

Fans like the show in particular for its rewatchability, which many will admit is what has led to its continuing success. It is also branded as the series that originated the sitcom formula, which has since been countlessly repeated; HIMYM, BBT, etc.

Cheers (1982-1993)

Cheers, created by James Burrows, Glen Charles, and Les Charles, is a show set in a Boston bar where everybody knows your name. The show's witty writing and lovable characters have made it one of the most beloved sitcoms ever. The show's cast, which includes such recognizable names as Ted Danson, Shelley Long, Kelsey Grammer, and Woody Harrelson, have become synonymous with their characters. Cheers explores the importance of community and the value of human connection, all while keeping audiences laughing with its clever humor.

Admirers of the show have described Cheers as the 'blueprint for modern sitcoms', admitting to seeing a lot of what made the series great reflected in much of modern television. The show has also been praised for its writing, timeless comedy, and relatable characters.
