Posted by Elina Uphoff on Thursday, April 4, 2024

Sitcoms are a attempted and tested television method that has equipped us with some of the best loved shows of all time. Making people laugh is definitely no easy feat, so we bow to the writing and appearing talents of the ones in the back of the common sitcoms that proceed to leave us in hysterics. But in spite of Webster defining a sitcom as "a television series that involves a continuing cast of characters in a succession of comedic circumstances," a number of so-called sitcoms relinquish comedy altogether, albeit by chance.

Sometimes a sitcom premise falls flat and easily can not deliver the laughs. Often this is not due to the skills of its actors, however quite deficient writing, a drained premise, or lack of originality (and once in a while all three). These are the worst sitcoms of all time, ranked in order of how horrible IMDb deems them to be.

10 'We Are Men' - 5.6

After returning to acting in 2011, former Obama affiliate Kal Penn made some questionable career choices. Despite being known for his hilarious turn alongside John Cho in the Harold & Kumar movies, he ended up in this poorly gained sitcom that facilities on a number of bros renting a complex together.

9 'Are We There Yet?' - 5.5

Based on the in a similar fashion panned, albeit prime grossing, movie, Are We There Yet? stars the in most cases reliable Terry Crews in lieu of Ice Cube. But Crews' comedic abilities aren't enough to save this sequence, which stretches its skinny premise to extremes.

8 'Hope & Faith' - 5.5

Ford performs Hope, a content mother whose equilibrium is rocked by way of the arrival of her well-known sister, Faith, played by way of Ripa. It holds a rating of 5.5 on IMDb and just 25% on Rotten Tomatoes.

7 'I Hate My Teenage Daughter' - 5.3

This unpleasantly-titled, short-lived sitcom stars Jaime Pressly and Katie Finneran as moms who grow to resent their spoiled teenage daughters once they notice that their children are becoming the sorts of ladies who used to bully them in highschool.

One critic described it as "a complete failure, void of any humor, morality, or point." Ratings had been so bad that Fox had no possibility put to pull it from the schedule.

6 'Are You There, Chelsea?' - 5.0

Chelsea Handler can have an out of this world $35 million net worth, however this sitcom in keeping with her existence without a doubt didn't give a contribution to it.

USA Today panned the show, writing, "Vulgarity and lack of taste aren't the issues here as much as a deadening single-mindedness." It used to be canceled after only one season.

5 'Kath & Kim' - 4.9

(*10*)

No, now not the much loved Aussie display, however rather the disastrous US remake starring Molly Shannon and Selma Blair. A big section of Kath & Kim's allure was its quintessentially Australian humor that used to be not like anything US audiences had observed sooner than. Subsequently, the remake has been described as each a "nightmare" and a "travesty" that disrespects the quirky authentic.

4 'How To Be A Gentleman' - 4.7

David Hornsby is easiest known and cherished for his position on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia as Rickety Cricket, a former priest who unearths himself in a perpetual downward spiral thank you to the gang. But his foray into sitcom main man was once not up to successful.

How to Be a Gentleman stars Hornsby and Kevin Dillon as mismatched friends and was once disastrously won. Processed Media branded it a "relentless pile of stereotypical male reactions, an Odd Couple plot, and 22 minutes of pointless, conventional drivel." Ouch.

3 'That '80s Show' - 4.8

Another sitcom that gives main guy standing to an Always Sunny forged member, That '80s Show stars Glenn Howerton as a struggling musician. While That '70s Show was once very popular and launched the careers of many A-listers, together with Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, its '80s-set companion gained destructive opinions. Surprisingly, it used to be not actually a right away by-product of That '70s Show and capitalized on its success more than the rest.

2 'Cavemen' - 4.3

Nick Kroll may be experiencing a wealth of status and fortune now, thanks to the popularity of Big Mouth, however again in 2007 he appeared on this failed sitcom. The show centers on a group of cavemen in modern day San Diego, a premise that wears thin pretty briefly.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote, "Cavemen is itself an embarrassment because it's not funny. At all."

1 'Mulaney' - 4.3

While John Mulaney was one of SNL's most reliable performers, his eponymous sitcom is rated the worst of all time according to IMDb. Mulaney performs himself and the show specializes in his early days as a struggling comedian. TV Guide branded it a "dreadful, embarrassing misfire", while Newsday called out Mulaney's acting skill, describing him as "the blandest star ever."
