Love shows that hold up a mirror to society and make you laugh while doing it? Whether it’s through biting satire, surreal humor, or super specific internet references, TV can be a playground for clever commentary. These shows combine sharp observations with humor that taps into our meme-obsessed, digitally connected culture. Here are ten series that bring satire and internet-inspired wit to the forefront.

1. BoJack Horseman

At first glance, BoJack Horseman might seem like a quirky animated show about talking animals. But trust us—this series doesn’t pull punches. It’s a searing critique of celebrity culture, mental health struggles, and the emptiness of fame, all wrapped in razor-sharp humor.

BoJack, a washed-up sitcom star turned walking train wreck, is the embodiment of self-destruction in a world obsessed with trending hashtags and PR stunts. From parodies of Hollywood's power plays to episodes where social media mishaps spark chaos, the show writes internet absurdity right into its DNA. Where else would you find a character hosting an unhinged awards show called “The We Forgive You Awards,” complete with insincere apologies, trending online?

2. The Eric Andre Show

The Eric Andre Show feels like what would happen if you handed a show over to the chaos-loving side of the internet. Every episode is a masterclass in absurdity, with Eric Andre obliterating guests' expectations and turning the late-night talk show format on its head.

Whether he’s smashing his desk mid-interview or creating pranks that teeter between hilarious and horrifying, the show captures meme culture in all its unpredictable glory. Think of it as YouTube prank channels meets surreal comedy—only smarter and way funnier. It's the show that gave us moments like the infamous “Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?” meme.

3. Black Mirror

Few shows can make you simultaneously laugh, gasp, and reconsider your relationship with technology like Black Mirror. Each episode functions as a standalone story, zooming in on our obsession with the internet, social media, and tech-driven lifestyles.

From the dystopian Nosedive, where people base their self-worth on social media ratings, to Smithereens, a darkly comedic jab at attention economy culture, the show nails its satirical portrayal of the digital age. While it leans toward darker themes, the twisted humor in scenarios like robot bees gone rogue or a full-blown Twitter cancel storm keeps things wildly entertaining.

4. Rick and Morty

Nothing captures the chaotic genius of internet-inspired humor quite like Rick and Morty. Beyond the show's iconic burps, nihilistic rants, and mind-bending plotlines, it offers unapologetic satire on culture, consumerism, and online trends.

Whether tearing apart the multiverse or taking digs at gaming, AI, or fan entitlement (remember the Szechuan Sauce fiasco?), its humor feels steeped in the kind of meta self-awareness you’d expect from your favorite online creators. And who doesn’t love an episode where toxic fandom culture literally becomes a villain?

5. South Park

For over two decades, South Park has satirized everything from politics to pop culture to internet phenomena. Its creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, have a knack for turning even the dumbest viral trend into biting commentary.

Take their send-up of meme challenges with the “Tide Pod” episode or the way they skewered Facebook addiction long before it became a mainstream concern. With entire seasons dedicated to internet-driven scandals—like online trolling embodied through the villainous Skankhunt42—the show stays relevant by reflecting the mess of our shared online experience.

6. Big Mouth

Few shows balance gross-out humor with painfully accurate observations about adolescence quite like Big Mouth. While its primary goal is exploring the awkwardness of puberty, it doesn’t shy away from poking fun at our digital habits.

From characters obsessing over ghosting and DMs to a subplot based on the horrors of sexting gone wrong, it's a hilarious and cringeworthy reminder of how the internet complicates growing up. The Shame Wizard and Anxiety Mosquito are practically physical manifestations of life lived too online.

7. Search Party

This dark comedy is an underrated gem for those who love a mix of murder mystery and biting social commentary. Search Party focuses on a group of self-obsessed friends caught in a web of crime, deception, and their own narcissistic loops.

The show skewers millennial-leaning (but painfully universal) traits like performative activism, endless scrolling, and social media clout chasing. The characters’ constant need for validation plays out hilariously—and alarmingly—in an age where everyone’s life is public and curated for likes.

8. The Good Place

What happens when you combine moral philosophy with LOL-worthy internet humor? You get The Good Place, Michael Schur’s sharp and surprisingly educational comedy about the afterlife.

The show weaves pop culture and internet-driven gags into its backdrop, like a demon getting addicted to ranking avocado toast or Eleanor calling out memes that sum up "basic" life. Characters hilariously grapple with how modern-day ethics—shaped by tech—make earning points for “the Good Place” almost impossible.

9. PEN15

Reliving middle school awkwardness feels way too real in PEN15. While nostalgia is at the heart of this series, its humor often channels today’s internet sensibilities.

Episodes deal with everything from AIM chatroom drama to the cringiest, pre-social media attempts at fitting in. It's internet humor in its essence because it embraces the kind of “too embarrassing to think about” moments now immortalized in memes and TikToks. The show reminds us that posting online is just the modern equivalent of passing cringe-inducing notes to your crush.

10. Nathan for You

Nathan for You turns mundane ideas into internet gold. Hosted by Nathan Fielder, the show revolves around his awkward attempts to help small businesses with outlandish strategies.

From creating a viral movement with the ridiculous “Dumb Starbucks” to elaborate marketing stunts like “The Hero Pig,” the show brilliantly satirizes how social media can manipulate everything from public opinion to consumer habits. Many of its segments became real-life viral memes, cementing its place as a show that thrives on internet culture’s absurd possibilities.

Honorable Shoutout: I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson

This sketch comedy masterpiece deserves a mention for its absurd yet relatable take on everything. Whether it’s mocking comment section meltdowns (“You’re not part of the Turbo Team!”) or poking fun at awkward overreactions in group chats, its humor often feels pulled straight from the humor of online subcultures.

These shows prove that satire and internet-driven humor go hand in hand with smart storytelling. They’re clever, culturally aware, and packed with jokes that might make you pause, laugh, or even cringe because they hit too close to home. Whether you’re into animation, absurdist comedy, or cutting-edge social commentary, there’s something in this lineup to get you hooked.

Just don’t forget to take a break from scrolling to actually watch them. Or don’t—the memes will probably find you anyway.
