I haven't watched television in years but Monty Python; Not the nine o'clock news and Drop the dead donkey were all 'compulsive' viewing.

If you're thinking in terms of movies then there are a few 'obvious' ones guaranteed to give you a giggle.
Blazing saddles
Stir crazy
Airplane
The life of Brian
History of the world part one etc.

@Picklebobble2 I'm a big fan of Not The Nine O'clock News.

@Jacko1971 Considered quite risky at the time. The BBC liked to play safe with the sitcom idea hence the 65 episodes of Terry and June 😖

@Picklebobble2 I don't mind a bit of gentle comedy.

Not The Nine O Clock News was on BBC 2 at 9 O'clock (Hence the name). All the alternative comedies were started on BBC2.

@Picklebobble2 Another two for your list of films:

The Big Bus - American set and made, satire on "road movies" and science-fiction; about the maiden- transcontinental journey of the articulated behemoth that was the "world's first nuclear-powered bus".

Traffic (I think that was its title.) No, not the bleak one about junkies in Glasgow. This early -1970s, gentle satire on the motor-trade, was set in France and depicted the efforts of a family garage business to take their prototype caravanette conversion of a small Citrӧen van, across the country to the Paris Motor Show.
