Comedy

Dolemite is My Name

This will be a treat to fans who miss Eddie Murphy's glory days in comedy. Dolemite is My Name is a biographical comedy on Rudy Ray Moore, played by Eddie Murphy. Rudy's a filmmaker, but more famously known for portraying Dolemite, a controversial character he made up. This movie has a pretty stacked cast, featuring Keegan-Michael Key, Mike Epps, Craig Robinson, Titus Burgess, Wesley Snipes and even Snoop Dogg!

 

Big Mouth

Puberty is an awkward, acne-studded horror, and Big Mouth pays tribute to that in gloriously hilarious fashion. It follows a group of 7th graders as they navigate the tortuous, and torturous, struggles of being a teenager. This sitcom may look cartoonish, but its irreverent and almost rude humour was crafted to elicit laughs from those of us who can’t even remember what it’s like to be 13 anymore.

 

Santa Clarita Diet

Santa Clarita Diet may have been cancelled – why, Netflix? – but that won’t stop me from recommending it because it is pure comedic gold. What would you do if your wife suddenly became violently sick, threw up a gross-looking red ball, and then basically died and became a zombie? Fortunately or unfortunately, she's still herself for the most part, except she only eats humans now. That's what Joel Hammond has to deal with, and Santa Clarita Diet is a hilarious look at Joel and Sheila's antics as they try to feed Sheila and find a cure for her. 

The series is morbid, bloody, and plain absurd. The Hammonds have buried bodies in the desert, chopped up others in their home, and kept a disembodied talking head in their basement like a small pet. It gets weirder still. That red ball I mentioned? Apparently, if you leave it at room temperature and don't freeze it like Sheila did, it grows legs and scuttles around like a disgusting critter. At its very core though, Santa Clarita Diet is heart-warming and superb comedy, making it a zombie flick that truly stands out from the crowd.
