Ash vs. Evil Dead

USA, 2015, 3 seasons

This series stands on three pillars: mysticism, violence and a lot of black humor. Aged Ash from the original films pulls himself into a corset, takes a shotgun and goes out to fight demons and his own evil copy that grew out of a severed hand.

The Fry and Laurie Show (1989-1995)

What is it about?

The Fry & Laurie Show tries to sound like a dumb and artless sketch show for the middle class. But it was filmed at a very strange time. Hugh Laurie is still twenty years before Dr. House, and he seriously dreams of pursuing a career as a police officer in colonial Hong Kong. Stephen Fry has not yet become a national treasure and flounders between suicide attempts and cocaine orgies. And all this confusion in their heads is constantly seeping into sketches. What starts out as a joke usually ends up in sheer game.

What is interesting and who will like it?

It will appeal to those who love deconstruction of humor and this is the feeling when you do not understand how the sketch will end – a cute naive joke in the English style, or selling heroin to children.

Guest House Paradiso (Adrien Edmondson, 1999)

Richie and Eddie are two main characters who try to coexist and run a seedy hotel next to a nuclear power plant, and end up accidentally feeding their guests with radioactive fish.

Stars such as Vincent Cassel, Simon Pegg and Bill Nighy appear in the film, but it is the dynamics of Richie and Eddie's relationship that are filled with funny moments, sometimes reduced to absurdity.

Dr. Martin

On the brink

The best comedy series and movies of all time. Best Foreign Comedy Series

Filming of the series: 2015

Cast: Tim Robbins (Walter Larson), Jack Black (Alex Talbot) and Pablo Schreiber (Zeke Tilson)

Why It's Worth Watching: The Brink is an American political comedy television series that has so far limited its fortunes to one successful season. But it is worth seeing it by all means! The plot focuses on a geopolitical crisis and the effect it has on three dissimilar and desperate men: the US secretary of state, a cheeky diplomatic service official and a fighter pilot of the US Navy. The Trinity must prevent a third world war.

Happy!

Former police officer, and now a drunken assassin Nick Sachs during the next assignment is injured and at the same time has a heart attack. When he regains consciousness, he begins to see a blue flying unicorn named Happy. It turns out that he is an imaginary friend of a girl who was kidnapped by the evil Santa Claus.

All the madness of this story can be understood already from the description of the plot. And if you add the original comic by Grant Morrison and the director of “Adrenaline” Brian Taylor, you get an explosive mixture of drive, humor and cruelty.

Alas, in the second season, the authors ran out of steam, the ratings of the project dropped dramatically, and it was closed.

Archer

USA, 2009, 10 seasons

This animated series is not a parody of James Bond or spy thrillers, but an independent, funny, vulgar and cynical work that tells about the everyday life of special agent Sterling Archer.

“Archer” plays up popular moves from spy films, making the main characters complete idiots. Each season has its own style – for example, for four seasons “Archer” told about espionage operations during the Cold War, then changed to a story about the sale of cocaine or the work of a detective agency. The ninth season is dedicated to the adventures of an alcoholic pilot on a desert island.

At the bottom

The plot revolves around Kenny, a professional baseball player. His career was going well, and everything could be fine, but with the character of Kenny pretty disappointed. The character of the baseball player turned out to be so bad that his professional career soon ended. The athlete returned to his hometown, and in order to earn a living, he began to work in one of the schools as a physical education teacher (or, as they say in slang, as a physical education teacher). Kenny is adamant that teaching is temporary, and one day he will be able to return to the baseball court.

Бриклберри (Brickleberry)

USA, 2012, 3 seasons

This cartoon is definitely not for children – unless, of course, you want to introduce the child to toilet humor as early as possible. The plot revolves around the gouging rangers in Brickleberry Park: a former military porn star, a geronophile, a talking bear, a lesbian, a stupid guy and an alcoholic. Together they try to save the park from closing.

The Parole Officer (John Duigan, 2001)

The best comedy series and movies of all time. Best Foreign Comedy Series

Black viper

The best comedy series and movies of all time. Best Foreign Comedy Series

Historical sitcom of the British BBC channel. This series is worth watching already, because the main roles in it were played by Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry.

The plot of this television show is based on the adventures of the eponymous antihero Edmund Blackadder, played by Atkinson, and his loyal servant Baldrick, played by Tony Robinson, in different historical eras.

We advise you to watch all episodes of the series from beginning to end. It is worth noting that the last scene of the final episode was recognized by many film critics as one of the best moments in the history of British television.

Fargo (Fargo)

USA, 2014, 3 seasons

Fargo is a black tragicomedy that grew out of the 1996 Coen Brothers film of the same name. Each of the three seasons is dedicated to its own business – they are connected only nominally, for example, by the character of a silent killer.

The main characters of “Fargo” are human vices: stupidity and greed. The series shows what tragic consequences a banal inattention or a stupid coincidence of circumstances can lead to. So, the third season begins with the fact that the assassin loses the piece of paper with the address and kills the wrong person.

Bonding

This very short series (only 7 episodes of 10-15 minutes each) will definitely appeal to everyone who has already fallen in love with Sex Education. Here the heroes are already older, but their problems have not diminished. Pete is looking for a job, and this brings him to school friend Tiff. She invites the hero to become her assistant. But she works as a professional dominatrix.

The series has already been criticized by real representatives of the profession. But in fact, “Svyaz” uses the BDSM theme only as a comedic component (the fetish of fights in penguin costumes especially hints at this). Otherwise, this is a very funny and emotional story about the friendship of two lonely people.

Communication

Vicious (2013-2016)

The series stars Ian McKelen (The Lord of the Rings), Derek Jacoby (The Crown) and Ivan Rheon (Game of Thrones).

Miracle Workers

Each season of this fun anthology tells a different story. But the actors in them play the same. And first of all, they attract the main stars of the series – Steve Buscemi and Daniel Radcliffe.

The first season tells how God (Buscemi), tired of human stupidity, decided to destroy the Earth. But several angels (among them Radcliffe, who looks more like an IT specialist than a supreme being) decided to prove to him that people are not so bad.

In the second season, which turned out to be much funnier than the first, the action is already transferred to the Middle Ages. Buscemi plays the peasant – the best shit picker in town. But his daughter for some reason does not want to follow in her father's footsteps. And Radcliffe got the role of a stupid prince who wanted to get closer to the people.

The problem is that every, even the most trifling, case in his law office turns out to be so confusing that only Sherlock Holmes can handle it. Well, or Peter Kingdom is an ordinary intellectual who just does his job well.

What is interesting and who will like it?

Anyone who wants something simple, homey, but well-shot and with great actors. One Stephen Fry, playing a charming reflective intellectual, which is worth it.

Alex, Inc.

Zach Braff, so beloved by the audience after the “Clinic”, returned in 2018 with another author's project. He played radio host Alex Schuman. The hero got tired of the limited format of the station and decided to go into his own business – to launch a podcast. True, Alex does not really know what to tell, and only an anxious colleague and a not too smart relative help him.

But in the end, Alex realizes that he can best tell just about his life – about how he comes up with a podcast.

This series primarily rests on the charm of Braff himself, who showed an already aged, but still the same open world and kind hero, as he was in most of his previous works.

When both of them understand that the disease does not exist, they decide not to talk about it to others, but to enjoy all the advantages of the situation.

In addition to black humor, “hospital” is distinguished by the complete absence of positive characters. All characters lie to each other and always dodge for their own benefit. However, as it happens in life.

John Cryer received an Emmy twice for this role.

In the eighth season of the series, there are only 16 episodes, while other TV shows usually had 22 to 24 episodes. It's all about the scandal that the leading actor, Charlie Sheen, staged.

«Spaced» (1999)

Director Edgar Wright honed his unique humor and skills on Spaced before directing Kind of Tough Cop and Zombie Called Sean. The star of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost also rose here. The series tells about several geeks who have gone, renting housing together and getting into ridiculous stories. As befits a series about geeks, it is almost entirely built on references to cult video games and films. Clichés from the classics are used so tightly that in just two seasons everything from Lara Croft to Lynch falls under the distribution.

In addition, the characters are incredibly charming and the viewer quickly begins to perceive them as slightly sick friends.

What is interesting and who will like it?

It will appeal to those who love jokes based on references to pop culture and kidult heroes. Well, and Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, of course.

However, both are in for serious trouble: it turns out that before his resignation, the director decided that Belinda Brown would continue his work. Gambi tried to thwart the plan of the recent boss, but in vain. And then both head teachers united and began to undermine the headmistress, hoping to get her out of school. Attention! Both applicants are ready for any dirty tricks to achieve their goal. An abundance of black humor with one or another subtext has become a typical feature of Western cinema since the 1990s. It is not for nothing that patriots in Russia demand

“Uncle” (2012-2017)

What is it about?

The plot of “Uncle” is simple and hackneyed. A loser and a rare asshole named Andy is forced to spend time with his weak-willed, boring and downtrodden nephew. Naturally, they are complete opposites and, naturally, sooner or later they will become friends and become better.

This comedy became a sensation in its day. She was not allowed into the American release, as it was considered overly venomous and cynical until the ending was reshomed. Now the picture “Kind Hearts and Crowns” is included in the list of 6 greatest films in the history of British cinema according to the British Film Institute.

Mighty Bush

What is it about?

It is almost impossible to describe “Mighty Bush” in a couple of paragraphs. This is a comedy of the absurd, and a buddy movie, and a psychedelic trip, and a musical with animation inserts and the wildest costumes and scenery. It's such a crazy set of everything that it's easier to imagine it like this: two very talented and extravagant guys – Julian Barrat and Noel Fielding – had holes punched in their heads, and everything that was there poured out. Grotesque, hilarious jokes and improvisation.

The general storyline is the everyday life of two idiots: a thirty-year-old jazz geek with a mustache and a silly but charismatic disco mod. They are surrounded by strange personalities, like a shaman and his tame gorilla (also quite a hero of the series with his own lines and jokes). Jokes, by the way, are varied: from teenage jokes about sex, to phantasmagorias, from which the brain of an adult breaks down. And all this accompanied by music.

What is interesting and who will like it?

It will appeal to everyone who loves it when psychedelics are interfered with with humor, as well as those who are tired of clichés. Fielding and Barratt are crazy, they create their own humor with their own rules.

The best comedy series and movies of all time. Best Foreign Comedy Series

What is it about?

Absolute Power is a story about the life of a PR agency run by an odious, charming and cynical leader (Stephen Fry). The agency is famous for taking cases that others have refused – the most hopeless and absurd cases. Promoting a neo-Nazi party, saving the career of a minister who was raped in a park – as you can imagine, the humor in the series is very politically incorrect.

At the same time, the dialogues are witty, Fry plays the well-bred Devil here simply amazingly, and the atmosphere of the company, which works exclusively on the sexual tension of employees and cocaine, is perfectly conveyed.

What is interesting and who will like it?

Will appeal to those who love humor on the edge, but at the same time there were witty dialogues and political games. Now such a series would be closed after the first episode.

Office

The best comedy series and movies of all time. Best Foreign Comedy Series

Remember the American TV series The Office starring Steve Carell? So, this series had a British prototype. The English Office also covers the daily life of the regional paper company employees. The series is also filmed in the genre of pseudo-documentary and is made in the form of a reportage from a typical provincial office. However, the prototype is distinguished by greater drama, interpretation of the characters' characters, and indeed this is a different series. You can't compare them, but both versions will provide you with good humor.
