The Simpsons
The longest-running comedy in TV history is also arguably the best. Yes, its quality has shifted from season to season, but The Simpsons has brought more brilliant characters to the screen than any other show, and plenty of simple wisdom, as well.
And of all these funniest TV shows, it’s also the all-time champion of out-of-nowhere shots at beloved chain restaurants.
