This show you already heard it or maybe even watch it. Friends is the show you can watch anytime even if you are low or high in your life, they will still give you the smile. If you watch this show you will know a lot about Monica's Apartment and the Central Perk just like your own home. This show always makes the six people ultimate comfort for each other they can't leave it no matter what how their world changes.
Whenever you hear "How you doing", Monica yelling at the group it will defiantly make you laugh.
And even some how in 2026 it still hit's the same for me. I still remember the episode where Rachel and Monica bet their apartment and i still remember how funny the quiz game was.
And one last question do you know what's Chandlers actual job was, was it TRANSPONSTER?

In The Office one thing makes me laugh every time whenever this scene comes when Dwight says "Oh man. Am i a women?".
One thing i must say when you first watch The Office it will make you laugh but with awkwardness inside you. And the second time oh god i must say you will laugh out loud. After that there is no limit it is like a wine with time it just get better.
I would suggest that you should pay attention to side character's such as Creed or Stanley. This show has many easter eggs that you only find in multiple watches maybe 4th or 5th rewatch. If you want to feel that you are in the office then Jim help in this. Jim always break the 4th wall and watches you through camera.

3. How I Met Your Mother (2005 - 2014)

HIMYM is full of confusion, drama and strangely relatable. In the term of rewatchability this show work. Ted's endless search for love is hilarious and kind of heart breaking if you really think about it. The chemistry between cast its good and you will enjoy it.
Remember this question "Robin how did you and Barney meet?"
And Barney get's 16 NO's on to his face.
Do you remember Barney's P.L.E.A.S.E Job revealed?
Barney Magic trick was also focus of the show.
Like in Friends and The Office the story revolves around a place here it is MacLaren's Pub.

4. Two and a Half Men (2003 - 2015)
Two and a Half Men is a perfect when you just want dumb jokes casual laughs and zero mental effort because of Charlie Sheen. Its effortless acting and it also has done one of the most difficult scene in one take.
And i still laugh on one scene where Jack says "I don't need a wife like Uncle Charlie"

- IMDb: 7.1/10

5. Modern Family (2009 - 2020)
Image source: Rotten Tomatoes © ABC / 20th Television Image used for editorial and informational purposes.
Modern Family is the best show which i love from this list, according to me i never felt bored or left me unlaugh. The characters of the show is the best thing. Modern Family follow 3 interconnected families. Jay's family consist of him, younger wife Glorie and her son Manny. Phil and Chaire with there 3 children and last family with Mitchell and Cam with their adopted daughter lily.
Remember Phil when he try's to do a good thing but turns bad like a scene where he try's to put a advertisement on his car and it goes messy in funny way.
Also i still remember the scene when Phil make a months long plan just to scare Chaire but got backfire which make this scene too funny to watch.
