The Office vs Curb vs Sunny

Three of the best comedies of the last decade, representative of network, pay cable, and basic cable. Sunny is the only one I really look forward to, the one I enjoy the reruns of.

Re: The Office vs Curb vs Sunny

I used to love The Office and could rewatch it again and again...until I discovered Sunny in late 2008. I can easily rewatch Sunny, no issue at all. I've definitely seen more Sunny than any other show by a long, long stretch. Never could get into Curb.

Everything about Sunny is perfect and consistently makes me laugh out loud, even if I've seen the episode numerous times...even with the last few seasons not being as strong, it's still better than damn-near any comedy out there.

Re: The Office vs Curb vs Sunny

I voted Curb because it's the most consistently funny.

Sunny is in second. Even though Sunny might have some duds here and there, when it's on, it's hilarious.

Then the Office. I loved the show but there was a clear decrease in quality starting in season 4-ish.

Curb by a country mile. As expertly crafted, and in some cases more expertly crafted as some of the best Seinfeld plots.

They are three extremely different comedies. Though Curb is essentially a mix of Sunny and The Office (and pre-dates the other two) so it wins.

Re: The Office vs Curb vs Sunny

I get more laughs per 30 minutes out of Sunny than the other 2 but I think Curb may be my favorite. Sunny is sooo up and down while Curb I think is constantly good. The Office has left such a bad taste in my mouth the last few years that I have a hard time voting for it.

CYE. Love The Office and I like Sunny, but not as much as I used to. Sunny should have ended a couple years ago.

Re: The Office vs Curb vs Sunny

I find them very different comedies, too. Office is like Letterman and Curb like Ferguson. Both are funny and worth watching, but different. I'd watch them both, but Office first because it's lighter and Curb second because it has a few more layers.

Office (US) or Office (UK)?

Curb. It's not even close. And it's actually one of the very few comedies I've seen that's actually gotten stronger over time, not weaker.

3 great shows, though.

Re: The Office vs Curb vs Sunny

Curb is tops for me, for sure. Love the office, too, but while I initially liked Sunny, it grew tiresome, as it seemed they were always just yelling at each other. Maybe I'll revisit it, at some point.

Never seen a single episode of Curb or Sunny so Office wins.
