Sitcoms That Try to Be Funny But Are Not

The Top Ten
1 Two and a Half Men Two and a Half Men is an American television sitcom that began broadcast on CBS on September 22, 2003, and ended on February 19, 2015 after twelve seasons.

I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really hated Two and a Half Men! This sitcom is not funny because of all the stupid and inappropriate jokes, fake laugh tracks, and terrible acting. Good thing is Charlie Sheen left the show for good because his character Charlie Harper is an unfunny and very misleading character. Even Ashton Kutcher who plays Walden Schmidt is not a funny guy. Jon Cryer as Alan failed too. Angus T. Jones who plays Jake is not funny, plus he ultimately left that show because he felt it was inappropriate. To top it all off, this will be the last season ever because it will soon end on February 19, 2015. Let's all be glad it'll all be over soon so we can watch some quality CBS dramas such as CSI and NCIS:LA.

Much worse than King Of The Hill. King of the hill is funny if you are smart enough to understand the satire and subtle humour. but creator Mike Judge named this show as his most series one but it is still clever. this show is just terrible

It was bad when Ashton Kutcher came in but before that it was hilarious!

Dumb show that somehow lasted for just over a decade.

2 Married... with Children Married... with Children is an American television live-action sitcom that aired on Fox, created by Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt. Originally broadcast from April 5, 1987 to June 9, 1997, it is the longest-lasting live-action sitcom on Fox, and the first to be broadcast in the network's primetime programming slot.

I watched many episodes of this show and did not laugh once

3 South Park South Park is an American adult animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy Central television network. The show is about four boys, who are Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick, and their adventures in South Park, Colorado.

Just because you don't like slapstick does not mean it can't be funny
You could have bad taste in humor, who knows

it was ok when I was 7 and seeing kids cursing was something cool
now it's easy to see it's just garbage

Some people actually think slapstick humor is funny?

This is just rude not funny unlike family guy

4 iCarly iCarly is an American teen sitcom that ran on Nickelodeon from September 8, 2007 until November 23, 2012. The series, created by Dan Schneider, focuses on teenager Carly Shay, who creates her own web show called iCarly with her best friends Sam Puckett and Freddie Benson.

It was funny when I was a 9-12 year old, but now...rewatching it, it is so cancerous.

This needs to be in at least the top 10, it sucked.

5 Marvin Marvin Marvin Marvin is an American science fiction slapstick comedy television series that aired from November 24, 2012 to April 27, 2013. The series stars Lucas Cruikshank as the title character Marvin Marvin, an alien teenage boy adjusting to human life.

It's really funny (and sad) that Nick tried another sitcom with this kid only a few months after his first disaster of a show was abruptly cancelled.

This needs to be at least in the top 10, it was disgusting.

6 Friends Friends is an American television sitcom, created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, which originally aired on NBC from September 22, 1994, to May 6, 2004, lasting ten seasons. It now airs on Nick at Nite. The story is primarily about 6 individuals (Ross [David Schwimmer], and his sister, Monica [Courtney Cox], Joey and Chandler [Matt LeBlanc and Matt Perry], who are best friends, Jennifer [Rachel Green], and Phoebe [Lisa Kudrow]. The characters constantly get into situations and love affairs and such in the plot.

Never understood the appeal of this. Plus, Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer both suck!

I wanna see these characters get deported to Canada.

The most overrated sitcom of all time.

Never could get into this one.

7 Will and Grace Will & Grace is an American sitcom created by Max Mutchnick and David Kohan about the relationship between best friends Will Truman (Eric McCormack), a gay lawyer, and Grace Adler (Debra Messing), a straight interior designer. It was broadcast on NBC from September 21, 1998 to May 18, 2006, for a total of eight seasons. During its original run, Will & Grace was one of the most successful television series with gay principal characters.

How could anyone not think this show is funny I mean the whole concept is brilliant I suppose thé people who font like the show are just old fashioned and quite frankly sad

8 Ugly Betty

Hating bitches, hating bitches everywhere. Two and a half men, TBBT, Family guy are 3 of the funniest sitcoms ever

This show was stupid, but at least it never got more praise than it deserved.

9 The Big Bang Theory The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, both of whom serve as executive producers on the series, along with Steven Molaro, and also some wasted guest stars from time to time.

The Big Bang Theory?!?! Only the funniest comedy in all of human history?!?! Whoever added this to the list has some big problem.

I have to admit that I didn't laugh at all. It's just dull humor with reference jokes that I just don't get at all.

I will admit sometimes it makes me laugh but even then most of the jokes just feel cheap.

The Big Bang Theory is awesome, stop hating people.

10 How I Met Your Mother How I Met Your Mother is an American sitcom that originally aired on CBS from September 19, 2005, to March 31, 2014. The series follows the main character, Ted Mosby, and his group of friends in Manhattan.

I love this show but the only funny person is barney

Best sitcom of all time

The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, and exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often American culture. ...read more.

Every joke they do comes from somewhere else and the ones that don't are lame.

Horrible, horrible show.

14 King of the Hill King of the Hill is an American animated sitcom created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels that ran from January 12, 1997 to May 6, 2010 on Fox.

I don't think its supposed to be funny though I think its more like a drama. if it is supposed to be funny then they are doing a terrible job.

Snore Snore. What was this show about? Why do I care?

this show is so bad it's almost funny!

Adult swim needs to get a clue.

15 Roseanne Roseanne is an American television sitcom starring Roseanne Barr and revolving around the fictional Conner family.

Besides Dan it just wasn't that great.

16 Samantha Who?

Two cute boys even Josh was cute when he was overweight.
But it was also ok show, it was better than some of these on the list.
Oh the complaints about laugh tracks, they have been around since?

Another stupid show that's enjoyable to an extent for nostalgic reasons.

Drake & Josh got messed up by the laugh track.

19 Everybody Loves Raymond Everybody Loves Raymond is an American sitcom television series created by Philip Rosenthal that aired on CBS from September 13, 1996 to May 16, 2005, with a total of 210 episodes spanning over nine seasons.

Most episodes of the nine season series were filmed in front of a live studio audience, with few exceptions.

I used to hate this but now I've actually finally gotten into it, it's just that it has some great episodes and then some pretty terrible and boring ones.

It wasn't that great or funny of a show but black people worship this just like how white people worship Friends and Seinfeld lol.

It was alright, but it wasn't that funny!

Created by William Bickley and Michael Warren, the show follows the lives of two single parents who get married and blend their respective families together. The series stars Patrick Duffy and Suzanne Somers and was a part of ABC's TGIF lineup before moving to CBS. Step by Step received a mixed critical reception but was popular among audiences for its humor and family-oriented themes.

Since I like Family Matters and Full House I figured I'd like this, but it honestly just isn't that good and none of the characters are that likable or stand out.
