Seth MacFarlane’s Western parody is uneven, but when it hits, it hits hard. The premise is simple: living in the Old West is terrifying, disgusting, and likely fatal. Ignoring the miscast romantic subplot, the gags about bear attacks, diarrhea, and snake bites are pure Family Guy logic applied to history. Plus, the cameo involving Doc Brown is worth the price of admission.

Amazon Prime Video continues to be a powerhouse for comedy fans in May 2026, offering everything from sharp original satires to beloved classics. Whether you want a high-concept sci-fi series or a laugh-out-loud slapstick movie, the platform has a deep library to explore.

"All of them," Dave said. "Start with Red, White & Royal Blue for the heart, watch The Other Guys for the noise, and queue up Psych for the long haul."

Happy streaming—and remember, if the first ten minutes don't make you smile, just skip it. Life is too short for bad comedy.

If you miss the hangout vibes of Freaks and Geeks or Dazed and Confused , stop everything and watch Red Oaks . Set at a posh New Jersey country club in the 1980s, this Amazon original follows a directionless college kid (Craig Roberts) and his eccentric tennis pro (Ennis Esmer). It’s low stakes, high charm, and Paul Reiser is perfect as the smug, rich father. It is the most underrated comedy on the service.
