I big time vouch for Joe Pera Talks With You. Not enough people talk about it. It's so comfy, so funny, and goes by quicker than you want it to. Perfect show!
Kevin Can Fuck himself sounds like an interesting show.
And also bajillion dollar properties

Poker Face starring Natasha Lyonne on Peacock.
I feel like you'd like Ted Lasso, also second the users who've said Ghosts (both US and UK).
Ted Lasso is amazing. The recent episodes are a bit different, I'm interested in the development of the show with the direction their heading on.
I think the tone is really reminiscent of stuff like Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill or Love Actually. Even though it got a bit more sad this season, it's very wholesome and easy to watch.

My warm, comfy, tried-and-true go-to is Scrubs. Funny, heartfelt, an in the upper echelon of quick biting wit.
Thanks for being so amazing guys. Last time I made a recommendation post on Reddit, nobody gave me any comments.
I'm going to suggest some older shows, they may be hard to find on streaming, but they are on physical media:
NewsRadio:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewsRadio
Titus:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titus_(TV_series)
Better Off Ted:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Off_Ted
The Good Place, Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Maybe give James Acaster's Repertoire a go if you like British standup!
I've watched Good Place and B99 already. Wonderful shows. I will check out James Acaster
Well I'm glad you have seen them but we need to find you more!
What We Do In The Shadows? The Mighty Boosh, Spaced, Peep Show, the many works of Alan Partridge?
I am sad I had to look this far for spaced. Spaced is great!

Deadloch, Class of 07, Psych, Ash vs Evil Dead, A Touch of Cloth
Two British reccs fore you: Peep Show and Alan Partridge. Both are genius, as in constantly hilarious throughout with no gaps.
- Ghosts (the US version)
- Righteous Gemstones
- Miracle Workers
- Based on a true story
- Blockbuster
- The Great
- The Goldbergs
- Fresh Off the Boat
- Killing It
- Upload
Those are the ones that fall in and around the comedy genre that i recall enjoying in the last year...
If you're looking for some older UK centric ones
- This Country
- Inbetweeners
- Two pints of lager
- Fresh Meat
- The Fast Show
- Harry Enfield and Pals
- My Family
If you liked IT Crowd and have a general interest in IT then check out Silicon Valley and it you like Chris O'Dowd in particular then check out "The Big Door Prize"
Another vote for Silicon Valley. Based on the list above, my guess is that this would be right up your alley!
Ghosts (the US version)
How can you say this, when that version doesn't have Charlotte Richie in it. Not even once!
Charlotte Richie i know.. i know.. but we do get Rose Mciver and i'm a big fan :)
But it's got Rose McIver in it and she's great (sidenote iZombie also let her show she's got a LOT of range)
I've already watched Silicon Valley, wonderful show. I will check out all your other suggestions

If you like IT Crowd, then Black Books is for you. One of the best comedies of that era. Start with the Grapes of Wrath Episode.
Peep Show is also great.
Black Books is fucking amazing. I will check out Peep Show as well.
I've recently watched and highly recommend:
Queen of Oz
Count Abdullah
What we do in the shadows
X-Files
One of my favorite people is Andy Daly. Check out his show called "Review" that was on Comedy Central a few years ago. There's 3 seasons of some really funny shit.
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
New Girl
Party Down
Scrubs
I loved all of these. I'd recommend:
- The Mindy Project
- Toast of London
- Crashing
- Taskmaster
- Man Down
- Nighty Night (this one might be too dark for you, but give it a try)

If you like British stuff my vote is for Peep Show and Red Dwarf
I disagree, if you're going that route then the first show absolutely must be That Mitchell And Webb Look.
"Nirvana the band the show" is probably my favorite comedy show of all time, and barely anyone knows about it.
Before they made the tv show they had a web series that made this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_qnI1WrlnU

I'm halfway through the first season of The Bear. The first couple episodes were a bit more serious setting the stage but it's got me cracking up now
