Just watch Castle of Meat X over and over again until you can't laugh no more.

Ok but seriously, Dane Cook and Adam Sandler aren't funny, but there are mainstream programs and comedians that are not necessarily Lowest Common Denominator. I mean, does it get any more mainstream than Bill Murray? And what was the last movie he wasn't amazing in?

I'm not feeling South Park at all these days (ok they don't like Michael Bay I get it) but it's got 11 seasons now, and there's something in there for almost everyone. There are great new shows. How I Met Your Mother is well-written, has great jokes that require you to pay attention, and has attractive women, hoo-boy. The Big Bang Theory has genuine jokes for nerds. The more you know about physics and nerd culture, the more you'll like it. House is full of downright cheese and annoying melodrama, but whoever comes up with House's one-liners is a goddamned genius. It's worth it just for that. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has Danny fuckin' Devito. Fuck yeah.

Adult Swim has a near-monopoly on good cartoons. If you haven't seen Frisky Dingo, do yourself a favor. I've not seen anything so quotable and rewatchable since Space Ghost.

There are defunct shows worth revisiting. The entire O*Grady run is on the-n, for instance.

And yeah, britcoms. Every episode of The It Crowd and Black Books is on youtube.

If you don't find any of these funny, yeah, your funnybone is broken. Sorry!

I've been watching so much Black Books lately

You should all just watch that seriously.

Seriously!

Also Dylan Moran's standup, there are two performances (Monster and Like Totally) on youtube.
