The pandemic and global lockdowns have been hard on everyone. Hence, it came as no surprise when a small Canadian TV series, Schitt’s Creek, shot to international fame last year. Reviewers and critics guessed that the comedy show on OTT saw such unprecedented fame because we’re all looking for a laugh during these terrible times. Hence, we’ve decided to compile a list of the 10 best comedy shows on OTT platforms right now.
Here are the top 10 best comedy shows on OTT platforms you should definitely watch:
Brooklyn Nine-Nine was such a massive hit with its fans that when it was cancelled, it led to a massive uproar on social media. Such was the uproar that the show was brought back from the dead and given a new season.

Schitt’s Creek is the kind of show you overlook all your life and when you finally decide to watch it, it changes your life. This brilliant show was the only good thing last year when the world was battling an unknown virus. No wonder it won back-to-back Emmy Awards.

Sumukhi Suresh is in top form in this show which doesn’t have any over-the-top jokes but will still make you cackle. Pushpavalli is a mess and a stalker who is creepy as hell. Sounds like a fun ride? It is.

Even the most snobbish millennials and Gen Z folk cannot get enough of this show. We wouldn’t be exaggerating if we said that Sarabhai vs Sarabhai was the greatest Indian comedy show of all time. Thanks to OTT, this TV show is now streaming online.

And, of course, an honorary mention has to go out to the OG buddy comedy series – F.R.I.E.N.D.S. This show has a little bit for everyone and hence, it comes as no surprise that Netflix continues to pay a ridiculous amount of money to ensure it streams on their platform.
