When was the last time you actually laughed out loud?
When you think about it, you may be surprised at how long it’s been. Because laughter is often used as a form of communication – to express that something is funny – people are far less likely to actually laugh out loud when they are alone, even if they do type “LOL.”
Regardless of whether it’s been a day or a week, laughter is something most people could use more of, so we’ve compiled a list of some of the best clean comedy shows on Netflix right now. Pop some popcorn, gather ‘round the TV, and enjoy some good old fashioned laughs together!
1. Jerry Seinfeld, 23 Hours To Kill
This special is only PG, but it will get people of every age laughing! From the constant communication issues due to “tone,” to common frustrations we all face, Seinfeld is back at it again with some classic humor and the attitude he first became famous for.
2. John Mulaney, The Sack Lunch Bunch
All three of John Mulaney’s specials are absolute classics, but they may not be something you want to watch with a little niece or grandma nearby. Luckily, he recently starred in a special with The Sack Lunch Bunch, a group of kids who help him create a funny, musical, classic comedy special that the whole family can enjoy.
3. Jim Gaffigan, King Baby
Gaffigan is known for some pretty clean humor, making this special an easy one to play with people of any age around. From bacon to bowling, he touches on topics we all spend quite a bit of time thinking on. If you enjoy some straightforward blue-collar humor, this is a good special to tune into!
4. Carol Burnett, A Little Help
A classic comic returns to the screen with a panel of kids in tow, sharing all the tips adults need to know about life! As Burnett herself puts it, “When it comes to honesty, we go to the ones who only do honesty: kids.” From coworker troubles to family feuds, these kids take on every topic with Burnett and her celebrity guests.
5. Brian Regan, Nunchuks and Flamethrowers
Are you ready to get some answers to your questions about who makes the toys that come in Happy Meals? Then Brian Regan is your guy. It’s time to get down to business about these toys, as well as the people who jump in line, and… well, all the other experiences that are just a little bit frustrating about everyday life. Enjoy Regan’s unique brand of clean, observational comedy in this special!
While these types of comedies may not be your usual pick for a movie night, we have faith that these clean comedy shows are the perfect things to watch for some family bonding and laughter after a busy workweek! Which of these comedians is your favorite?
