The 11 Sketch Comedy Shows On Netflix With The Highest Rotten Tomatoes Scores

Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? Over the past two weeks, Netflix released a new season of Black Mirror, dropped the sensational film Always Be My Maybe, and provided us with new episodes of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman. But maybe you’re not in the mood for dystopian mayhem? Perhaps you just want to laugh. Lucky for you, Netflix also offers an exceptional selection of sketch comedy offerings.

From classic shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000 to modern favorites like Documentary Now! and I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson, our list features a fun mix of cerebral sketch comedy and outright absurdity. Sure, Rotten Tomatoes isn’t perfect — a 48% for the ICONIC 1992 masterpiece The Cutting Edge is honestly a jailable offense — but the review-aggregation website is a useful tool if you’re looking for a critical snapshot of the quality of a film or TV show.

The above slideshow includes the sketch comedy shows on Netflix with the highest Rotten Tomatoes scores, but there’s also a handful of top-notch sketch programs that, for reasons unknown, don’t have a proper Rotten Tomatoes rating. If you’re a comedy fan, we also suggest checking out The Elegant Gentleman’s Guide to Knife Fighting, The Who Was? Show, Netflix Presents: The Characters, and Garfunkel and Oates: Trying to Be Special.
