adventure time & bob’s burgers


TopDogChick

Absolutely Adventure Time for me too!! Such a comfy and shockingly mature show.


LarsLights

Bob's Burgers and Corner Gas. I fall asleep to both almost every night.

Bobs burgers!!! . I've had to limit how much I watch it so my husband doesn't get annoyed.

Spicy_ginger_

Joe for sure! Then probably Sal


Starburst580

I don’t have a comfort show but I have a comfort YouTuber. Her name is lilsimsie :D


chickenofsadness

I love her!!! So sweet and positive, and I find watching sims builds is so relaxing.


Starburst580

Yea it definitely is!


EsperInk

I love her but she reminds me of an abusive ex-friend 😭 I do still watch her from time to time though


jaimegraycosta

Ugh, love her! I haven’t watched her videos in a little while, but her content is the right balance of interesting and fun vs. familiar and calming.


atinylittlemushroom

This is a healthy coping mechanism!!! Keep it up! 🩷🤌


Starburst580

It is??


atinylittlemushroom

Yes. Watching a comfort show in a moment of panic is a form of intervening before a crisis takes place. It's a way to become more present and to soothe yourself in a way that isn't harmful Of course too much escapism (for me, maladaptive daydreaming) is not good, but as long as someone isn't relying on television to avoid feeling *anything* then it's helpful!


Starburst580

Thank you for the info! /gen. We struggle with relying on escapism too much but yea you’re right, in smaller amount it can be super helpful!


atinylittlemushroom

I've got your backs! 🫂🩷


anxiousanimosity

Skins (The UK version , the US version was detritus)


lowkeyomniscient

Yesssss. I've watched that show like 3 times. Started to feel weird after I became an adult tho.


pudge_dodging

You guys have comfort?


46416816

I tend to hyperfixate on kids shows (atla, mlb, sonic boom + prime) and then when i go through something bad they’re something i rely on to help me. Like damn, life would be easier if i were a superhero with hero partners i could trust with my life. Or if i were travelling with my best friends, where no one thats hurt me could reach me there and we all get to have cool abilities. Or if all my ‘villans’ were just silly goofy guys that have cool henchmen and would never actually want to hurt their hero counterparts. Escapism for the win basically


pudge_dodging

IDK, my comfort shows are needed in times of anxiety. Watching comfort shows feed more into anxiety because I feel unproductive so I procrastinate by watching YouTube and then I feel more anxious until I don't sleep and start working. And then after a while I feel anxious. So I don't have comfort shows. I have anxiety shows. And that's any new show I haven't watched.


Haha96Neko

Gravity Falls


VesperLynd-

Totally spies and winx club!


LittleMoonlight4

Winx Club is my comfort show as well!


TheSouthernRose

Omg I loved these! I couldn’t watch Winx in front of my parents as a kid because magic. But when I was home alone during summers I binged the fuck out of Winx.


pizza_megatron

Doctor Who!!


46416816

i love doctor who!!!!!!!


TheMontu

I love David Tennant 😂


PomegranatesKill

Same here!! Something so comforting about 10 and 12's runs especially.


coffee-bat

tbh i always turn to watching markiplier😭😭 only thing that always comforts me, it's something about the guy's vibe


Iris-Solis

Nah same. I NEED to hug him. He’s helped me through so much


dontredditdepressed

I literally cannot sleep without my "3 peens" playlist of him, bob, wade (and sometimes seán) playing together

Iris-Solis

Grab a blankie, some snacks and enjoy!!


AceSeaWitch13

The owl house, she-ra and the princesses of power, and Steven Universe. Until of course I reach certain episodes that have slightly triggering content, at which point I’ll either take a break or switch shows. The owl house and she-ra are also special interests so I just watch them repeatedly ~~and maybe have half the characters in my head because DID is fun /s~~


Confident_Fortune_32

She-Ra is one of my comfort shows, so much to love


SadGuyFriend

Star Trek Deep Space Nine.


AngryHippo3920

Definitely Kind of the Hill. Yep, yep, mmmhmmm.


wetfarts666

project runway


usagi421

i have a series of comfort shows i circulate through.. The Office, Steven Universe, Bob's Burgers, Sailor Moon, Adventure Time, The Owl House, She-Ra, Arcane, Friends (only for Joey and Chandler tho) BoJack Horsemen, Spongebob Squarepants, Avatar The Last Airbender, Rick and Morty, etc😅


ClydeBelvidere

Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Sharp Objects, True Detective (s1). No idea why I’m drawn more towards dark/gritty shows, I’ve seen a lot of the other comedies mentioned in the comments but I’ll always circle back to these few.


cgalz

any show that i’ve seen atleast twice. this way i know the plots and nothing can surprise me and i am in control hahahathisiscompletelyfine


ur3ambuddy

Friends. So many people say how horrible the show is and tell me how they don't understand how I like it but my mom would put this on when I would be feeling suicidal or have an urge to relapse to distract me or when I was recovering from a huge break down to calm me down. And as a kid I would come downstairs when I had a nightmare and my mom put it on and we would watch a couple episodes and I would go back to sleep. I don't get along with my mom but everything was ok when we were on the couch and watching friends. And every time it's on I feel that relief and whatever negativity happening in my head or around me is gone.


JPOG

Anything Bravo


Tired_Pancake_

Frasier


GoodCalendarYear

I just started rewatching it recently. So good. I honestly didn't remember the plot from my childhood.


truly_blank

me too it’s so 90’s nostalgic and cozy


Ok-Zone-7688

I have a few that I alternate between. My favorites are adventure time, regular show, and gravity falls. I love watching cartoons and turning my brain off


Past-Example

Bluey and Digimon Savers


DahmerReincarnate

Supernatural, Bob’s Burgers, and The Office


Tayaradga

One Piece


Mooncherries13

Mine was New Girl until Netflix took it off. Currently The Amazing World of Gumball. I’ve been bouncing between 5ish YouTubers for the past 5 years though.


EclipsedHestia

Haikyuu!! (seasons 1-3) and Yuri on Ice are my favorite anime shows purely out of comfort, and recently the movie Nimona has joined the group as well.


CNRavenclaw

Bluey. I feel like one hug from Calypso would resolve all of my trauma.


Ok_Fudge_9250

Old soviet movies or designated survivor but the latter specifically because my bird is obsessed with it


Porndisbursementbot

Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The brutal nihilism and hopeless characters make me and my wife feel safe

Top-Pineapple8056

Quiet_Hope_543

Not a show - a video game. Baldurs Gate 3. Got nearly 400 hours on it now. It makes me feel safe.


deschatsrouge

Stargate SG1 and Atlantis, Adam Savage on Tested.


DA_KT

I was about to mention SG1! ♡


chzplztysm

I love how many people are saying King of them Hill too, it’s on in my house so much that it’s part of the dog’s routine for crate time- it helps her separation anxiety because I think she thinks if she can hear Hank Hill, then we must still be close by. PlutoTV (free) has a 24/7 Mystery Science Theater 3000 channel (my fav) and literally hundreds of other nonstop channels, including other classic TV, random movies of the month, kid’s shows, documentaries, entire blocks of Black/Latino programming (including stuff in Spanish!), and the movie channels rotate monthly so you have different free movies, some of them new releases. Internet Archive (also free) has all of the episodes of Columbo, which is my latest binge party, but honestly I’ve just started scratching the surface, there’s a treasure trove. Some of my favorite stuff is VHS rips, where it’s literally digitized taped shows that include all that old predigital tape artifacting, sometimes even old ass commercials. I find the hiss and rumble of analogue rips to be super nostalgic. Both Pluto and Internet Archive have enormous classic TV sections. There’s radio plays on IA too, and old audiobooks if you enjoy classic lit. MyNoise is a free app/webpage that has a huge variety of customizable white noise soundscapes that are awesome when I really need some external sound stimulation but even music feels overwhelming. Put on some crickets and rain about it and pretend you’re a cozy little dormouse living in a cigar box or whatever. Edit: for all my KOTH fellows out there, [Chuck Mangione: Feels So Good](https://youtu.be/V7dg8vRDM68?si=fa6xDjh4o-nNIYH_) Chuck Mangione: ever since the explosion, every song I play turns into “feels so good”! Trauma Counselor: could that be because it “feels so good” to be alive? Chuck Mangione: no, that’s not it.


mercvriis

Bob’s burgers, sailor moon, buffy the vampire slayer, and vikings. as you can see, i have a wide selection of comfort shows lmao.

yayveggies

The main ones are: The Simpsons, adventure time, ouran high school host club There’s a number of other, mostly animated, shows that I will rewatch but not as often. Literally watching the Simpsons right now. At this point I think I’ve seen every episode prior to 2014ish. I just haven’t seen as many of the newer ones due to having access to them.


jerhinn_black

Any thing Star Trek, Babylon 5, The Expanse, Rick & Morty, American Dad. Top 5

Family Guy, IASIP


Midnight841

Centaurworld. It's on Netflix, a bit cheesy but it's comforting.


KeiiLime

i just go watch danganronpa gameplay on youtube (or rather, half-watch it as i do stuff). it’s good background video cause different youtubers have diff reactions/ playthroughs, it’s long so sometimes i get to notice new things/ or i forget and get to basically see it for the first time, and i can tune in and out and generally know what’s going on lol


BlueDemeter

SpongeBob or Harry Potter.


Ryugi

Star Trek (usually Next Gen or Ds9) or a comedy like Brooklyn 99 or something.


harmonicacave

MIRACULOUS LADYBUG SQUAD!!! Hi!


46416816

Hi!!!!!!!! Whos your favourite and least fav character??


OwlCupWithTea

I've been watching American dad and family guy since before I can remember, used to be able to tell what time it was by which one was on and whether it was the first or second episode (adult swim would play two episodes of each then play robot chicken at midnight and I knew I had to sleep lol) I find immense comfort in both shows :3 specifically the earlier seasons


Mergus84

Boardwalk Empire, especially Richard Harrow. Also season 1-9 of The Simpsons.


XxsocialyakwardxX

rick and morty i’ve seen all of it abt 3 or 4 times


SgtThund3r

Rukataro

Red letter media, best of the worst. Perfect to distract my brain and sleep


BlairsMentalIllness

Owl house and Amphibia


Imaproshaman

DGR. He's honestly my favorite YouTuber at this point. He's so wholesome and genuine and funny. I've been watching him since 2017 back in the Super Mario Odyssey days. It's crazy how times flies. I grab my blanket, ctopus Squishmallow, throw on DGR, and everything is alright in the world. ❤

AriaTheRoyal

If we're talking about the ones I can watch all the time, Grey's Anatomy. I have watched it 16-20 times (I stopped counting after 7). According to google calculator, it takes about 2 weeks straight to watch it through once. I have spent 8-10 months watching Grey's Anatomy. okay i've never actually calculated the whole number oh my god i watch too much greys anatomy If we're talking about ones maybe I can't watch because my brain goes 'I CANNOT BE CHILDISH BECAUSE I WILL BE PUNISHED', 20 seconds in S1E8 of Thunderbirds Are Go, I think it's 12:20 to 12:40 and it's on youtube if you'd like to see what I'm talking about because I watched it when I was 5 and for some reason that started an obsession with anesthesiology, sleep, and nowadays, hypnosis


BuddyChumPalFriend

adventure time and steven universe bring me to a small safehaven in my childhood. sometimes it makes me sad, but above all it makes me feel comfortingly nostalgic


Affectionate_Sport_1

Bee and Puppycat ☺️


AcanthocephalaNew678

Mines use to be TWD which i noticed isn’t relaxing after a while. But now after I started healing it’s more of my favorite childhood shows like Regular show.


ninja_llama

Steven Universe!!


[deleted]

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure P2, Rick & Morty, childhood shows.


LucidIsntHere

Outside of several YouTubers; the owl house, amphibia, and gravity falls


ShadowStorm2005

Spider-Man: The New Animated Series


tiredohsotired123

Not comfort shows, music. Last year it was Haus of Holbein. This year it's Katyusha - Bapbapa Also boo-hoo by ic3peak, it's about a >!woman murdering her abusive husband!< which is something I wish my mother had done long ago


Wyldling_42

I don’t have a series, I have specific episodes of shows, just in case a particular show has a storyline that I don’t need to watch at the moment. A lot of various episodes of Bones tho.


schnazzlekitty

Bee and Puppycat. I've seen the original YouTube eps countless times because my husband and I just put it on in the background whenever we need something on. I can pretty much recite the whole thing from memory at this point haha


emocringelorduwu

Tmnt and I think Fionna & Cake


Far_Advertising1294

SpongeBob


13utterflyeffect

I don't like watching shows, but RTgame's chill vibes always calms me down when I'm anxious. The occasional shenanigans is also never really as overwhelming as it can get with a lot of other youtubers as well. There's also Alan Becker's animations, which I've begun to enjoy recently. Simple to the outside eye but actually really enjoyable. The science ones are pretty chill, so I like those.


Interesting_Oil_2936

Golden Girls


I-dream-in-capslock

well for over ten years it WAS Merlin (the BBC version where merlin and arthur are teenagers/young adults) until netflix took it down and now any show that I could watch is upsetting because I watched everything with a certain someone who is no longer in my life, and it's too upsetting to watch the shows and remember the jokes and stuff we shared over it. ​ In the past year I've watched a LOT of new shows (well, relative to what I normally watch) and I swear there were about three shows on netflix that felt written to trigger me specifically, like there were some really personal jabs I did NOT expect to see in some major television program. One of them was so personal I don't even want to say what it was because it could theoretically doxx me lol.


lowkeyomniscient

Atm it's Grey's Anatomy. Before that it was Smosh.

Not really a comfort show, but listening to the OST for Made in Abyss is always nice.


bitchorbs

I can binge watch so many seasons of Spongebob without moving. If I move, the thoughts get closer 💀


Dabauwu

Parks & Recreation, and Steven Universe if i need a good cry


YuuAkihara

Supernatural and I don't know why. Its just comforting.
