The 55 Best Comedies Available to Watch Instantly on Netflix

The Netflix Watch Instantly feature is amazing. Whether on your computer, phone, iPad or TV, it allows you to watch thousands upon thousands of movies, TV shows and specials whenever you want for a very cheap monthly fee.

The problem? The selection is hit-and-miss, to put it mildly. For every classic Richard Pryor standup special, there are a half-dozen specials by Carlos Mencia. For every Throw Mama From the Train there are 10 National Lampoon movies from the 90s.

So allow me to make things a little easier. Here are 55 movies, TV shows and standup specials available on Netflix Watch Instantly. Whether or not you’re new to Netflix and trying to fill out your queue or if you’ve had an account forever and just need some new stuff to watch, you should find plenty of stuff you’ve never seen or need to see again.

Updated: I somehow left out both Arrested Development and The Big Lebowski, omissions that were too embarrassing to let stand. So now the list is 57 items long. Phew.
