The onset of web series in the Indian entertainment game has welcomed fresh talent who are coming up with creative content that thrives. Not only does it break the monotony of television, but there is also a lot of freedom that makes filmmakers break out of their bubble and experiment freely. The result is simply jaw-dropping. YouTube saw a rise in comedic web series which launched innovative creators that make you feel all the emotions, even while laughing hysterically.

Since comedy is one of the most enjoyed and loved genres of all time, it’s no surprise that so many streaming platforms are now investing in making some genuinely hilarious and heartwarming web series. The best part of watching a comedy series is that you can binge them at any time and they will always be super fun to behold. If you’re looking to sit back, take a break, relax, and watch a show, we have a list of hilarious shows for you to watch. Here are nine of our favorites:

1. TVF Tripling

Sumeet Vyas rose to fame with this funny and heartwarming mini-series. Siblings— you either love em’ or you hate em’. There is rarely a middle ground. If you’re someone who loves traveling and exploring, then Tripling is definitely the show for you. It follows the story of three siblings who find themselves feeling disconnected from one another and then decide to take an impromptu road trip together. The siblings, Chanchal (played by Maanvi Gagroo of 4 More Shots, Please fame), Chandan and Chitwan embark on a journey filled with misfortunes and hilarious comic timing. Watch it for the laughs and adorable relationships.

2. Metro Park

While we might all love to make fun of NRIs for the way they behave when they live abroad versus the way they behave in India, this show showcases how Indian families adapt to American culture. It follows the story of a Gujarati family referred to as the Patel family and how they settle in the United States. Featuring Ranveer Shorey as the lead, this hilarious show will send you into fits of laughter and make you want to be a part of the cast.

3. Kota Factory

The show Kota Factory follows the practice of how students move to Kota to build a good future for themselves by studying in IIT coaching academies. However, the rat race of getting into a good college and university takes a pretty big toll on the minds of the students. This show gives us an in-depth look into the life of students and the various successes, failures, ordeals, and struggles they face in a realistic yet humorous manner. This might sound like the same-old college struggle story, but the light-heartedness and raw nature of the characters definitely struck a chord.

4. Panchayat

This hilarious show follows the story of a well-educated engineering graduate named Jitendra and how he ends up landing a job as the secretary of a Panchayat head. Needless to say, Jitendra is not happy with his job and feels very overqualified for the role. Due to this, Jitendra wants to quit his job and crack CAT so he can get into a good college and pursue his dream of studying for an MBA. However, things don’t always go according to plan now, do they? The fresh take to this story of class and opportunity while turning it into something hilarious is quite commendable.

5. TVF Pitchers

Pitchers is a hilarious show about four friends who decide to quit their jobs and start their own company. It follows the challenges and insane adversity that they have to face in a highly competitive world that does its best to stifle their creativity as entrepreneurs. The protagonists in the show often look up to tech legends like Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and more for inspiration and the hilarious dialogues will ease your evening frustration for sure.

6. Permanent Roommates

Permanent Roommates follow a couple who are unsure about whether they are ready to commit to the next step (marriage) in their relationship. Both pairs are extremely dedicated to their careers and go through several ups and downs together. The show is really cute and has plenty of hilarious moments to keep you entertained.

7. Shaitaan Haveli

Shaitaan Haveli is a hilariously funny dark comedy/horror series that often borders on ridiculous.

This show is great to forget about your stress and escape reality for a while.

8. Flames

9. Untag

Untag is the story of two best friends and their fight to get rid of the labels that society has thrown at them. It’s a humorous and interesting show and it throws light on the hypocrisy of society and how no matter what we do, people will still feel the need to judge us. The show is hilarious yet also super empowering.
