Stand-up & sketch comedy Videos Recommended on Hacker News (244)
Stand-up & sketch comedy is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 244 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2007 and 2026 — 205 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
Comedy: stand-up specials, sketch comedy, Monty Python, Mr. Show, comedians, improv, comedy clubs, talk-show comedy, funny bits and absurdist humor.
Why HN keeps sending people here — on Harder Drive: Hard drives we didn't want or need: “recommend this video to anyone here.” — an HN commenter, 2025.
