"You know when you want a show on in the background while you're doing something like washing the dishes or folding laundry or even doing admin work for your family, but you still want to enjoy the show? You want something that will still make you laugh, but you don't want to pay 100% attention. Then you need these comedies."
"It's a classic for a reason: The Simpsons is just loaded with jokes. Like, every other line is just a great joke. While some are more deep-cut than others, The Simpsons is absolutely a show you can watch while you're doing literally anything else and still laugh your ass off - even if you're not a Simpsons "fan." You can stream The Simpsons on Disney+."
"Written in the same mockumentary style as iconic shows like The Office and Parks and Rec, St. Denis Medical is so funny. It lacks some of the "smarts" of The Office, but that's what makes it a better show for watching with one eye on the screen and one on your doomscrolling. (Don't do that, put your phone down.) You can stream St. Denis Medica l on Peacock."
Short, episodic comedies with strong character development work well for multitasking because each episode can be enjoyed without full attention. Bite-sized, roughly 23-minute episodes balance season-long arcs with self-contained plots so viewers can follow individual episodes while doing chores, crafts, or light work. The Simpsons exemplifies joke-dense, endlessly rewatchable comedy suitable for background viewing and is available on Disney+. St. Denis Medical, filmed in a mockumentary style, offers easygoing humor that tolerates partial attention and streams on Peacock. These shows provide levity and laughs without requiring constant focus.
