What comedy makes you happy when you're feeling lousy?

[kenkwan]

Was Disco Godfather an intentional comedy?

I like Office Space if I'm sick.

The Buffy where Joyce dies is up there. I liked how quiet that episode was.

[Sarah]

Well, not as quiet as "Hush," but much more moving, I grant you (and no music).

I often go for the musical.  Viewing it frequently concludes one of my alienating (or alienated) evenings in the bar.

[Fido]

I like Rushmore but I don't know if that counts as comedy.

Rushmore definitely counts as comedy in my book.  I'd have to add that to my list as well.

Kids In the Hall works nicely for me too.

[A.M. Thomas]

It's Arrested Development.

Not to be a suck-up, but I love to spin TBS archives, the Bridge over troubled water to Sathington episode being particularly touching.

I go to Rudy Ray when I'm depressed. I go to Tom when I'm disenfranchised.

So many of my choices have already been mentioned: "Freaks and Geeks" is comforting just to think about. Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, Home Movies, Dr. Katz, Mystery Science Theatre...I agree with them all. I might add "Late Night with Conan" to the list and old episodes of "The Simpsons". Obviously a "Best Show" listening is always good medicine. "Ghostbusters" is my 'sick movie'.

And then these which I may be the only fan of on here....

-Grounded for Life
-Boy Meets World
-The Wonder Years

I don't know how much my view of them has been distorted by nostalgia, but they are nothing if not comforting.

Not to sound sappy, but it's sorta comforting to see that other people are as into this stuff as I am, as I have found reading this board and "aspecialthing". I guess it's pretty much universally agreed that comedy can be therapeutic but I often take this for granted. This was a good topic, Fido.

Cabin Boy

[Jarno]

Like others mentioned, Dr Katz, Home Movies, Seinfeld and the archives.

[Laurie]

-Boy Meets World

Oh man, I loved that show. I can't explain why. I wish Mr. Feeny were my neighbor.

[John Junk]

Boy Meets World??

That show was almost as creepy as Zoobilee Zoo.

Yea, I was pretty sure it wouldn't earn me any credit. I don't know, was it that bad? A lot of 90's sitcoms had a creepiness to them. The episode where Fred Savage played a perverted teacher was pretty creepy, and some of the other episodes from that era. It's definitely a guilty pleasure.

Yes, he and "Eric" were always my favorites.

[TL]

Say what you want - I'm not ashamed - "Grandma's Boy" is my favorite comedy fillum of the last few years.

Beverly Hills 90210.

Cabin Boy was the most disappointing movie of all time.

[Eric]

I had to bring this back for one of my favorite comedies that just came out on DVD, "Safe Men". I still can't believe it got a DVD release. I figured I'd always have to rely on my 6 dollar vhs copy I bought used off of amazon.

Has anyone else seen it? It seems to be pretty unknown. I'd recommend it to anyone, especially fans of Wes Anderson's first couple movies....Sam Rockwell, Steve Zahn, and Paul Giamatti have my eternal respect for their performances in this....
