The Big Bang Theory can be watched on HBO Max.
09 - Two and a Half Men
In ninth place, the research cites a series that was already present in the childhood of many, a little forgotten by time, perhaps due to the replacement of Charlie Sheen, who with his departure, according to many fans, lost its essence. Two and a Half Men, or Two and a Half Men, accompanies Charlie, played by Sheen, who is a very successful jingle composer. But who finds himself sheltering his brother Chiropractor for “a few days” after he separates from his wife.

How i Meet Your Mother is available in full on Amazon Prime Video.
07 - Friends
It's no surprise to anyone that Friends is on this list, although I think many might be disappointed with her placement. But it is undeniable the strength of Friends that from time to time always appears on the networks and media, which is a lot for a series ending in 2004! The series revolved around a group of friends who lived in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. According to the study, Friends managed to get the 120 members of the audience 32s of laughter.
Friends is complete to watch anytime on HBO Max with all its 10 seasons, and with the special that brought the entire cast back together.
06 – Arrested Development
Arrested Development is yet another sitcom series, this time following a dysfunctional family. But it's not just any dysfunctional family, it's the most dysfunctional family ever! Occupying the sixth position, Arrested Development managed to wrest from the audience 52 sec of laughter!
The first 5 seasons can be seen at Netflix.
05 – It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Fifth on the list goes to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which follows the lives of some friends who run an Irish Bar in South Philadelphia that is not very successful. They try at all costs to make their bar a success, even if it means getting into rolls that don't end well, but they never learn from their mistakes… It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia took fifth place on the list, because it averaged laughs from 55 sec.
04 – Parks and Recreation
Parks and Recreation follows the life of the deputy director of the Department of Parks and Recreation in the fictional city of Pawnee, which follows a documentary format, where the protagonist has a simple mission, to help a nurse transform a building into a park abandoned.
But it faces difficulties, both in the bureaucratic processes on which its function depends, corrupt real estate agents, grumpy neighbors... In total, there were 7 seasons, although with very modest audience, it always managed to be renewed, and the fact that it is on this list proves that it deserved these renewals. In total, Parks and Recreation managed to win over the audience 56 sec of laughter.
The series is complete, with all its 7 seasons in Amazon Prime Video!
03 – Community
The Bronze Medal goes to Community, which has 6 seasons. The American series follows a group of students at a fictional community university. The series focuses on the experiences of an ex-lawyer who returns to college after his degree is deemed invalid, and the people he meets there. Among all, she is the first to make the audience laugh for more than 1 minute, in total there were 1min 13sec!
Community is complete at Netflix.
02 – Brooklyn Nine Nine
Whoever said that a police station is serious and that everything runs according to plan… is because they haven't heard of the 99th precinct (fictional) in New York. The police comedy series revolves around the detectives of this precinct performing their duties, but with Jack Peralta as the main character.
Despite the setbacks, methods adopted and personalities of the detectives, things go well, or not... Brooklyn Nine-Nine has 7 seasons so far, but even before the seventh season came out, the eighth season had already been announced. According to the research, Brooklyn Nine-Nine managed to get an average 1min 38sec of laughter from the audience for every hour of content watched.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is available here in Brazil at Netflix.
01 – The Office (US)
Perhaps someone may disagree about which one deserved or not the first place, but the quality of The Office is undeniable. You've probably seen a cropped image of The Office somewhere and thought it was a meme. It's not real. The Office is surprisingly funny. The Office has a documentary format, but unlike all the others, it doesn't have the famous laughter in the background. The pseudo-documentary follows the lives of office workers who have a not-so-"normal" boss.
As mentioned, it doesn't have the background laughs that are one of the hallmarks of a Sitcom, to make it as similar as possible to a true documentary. The Office managed to average 1min 45sec of laughter from the audience, thus achieving, according to the poll, the title of best comedy series.
The Office (US) is complete at Amazon Prime Video.
Anyway, you agree with the list, think there was a series that was wronged, disagree with the order… Comment!
