00:00Oh, you into shamans?
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the best comedies from around the world to add to your watch list.
00:13Oh, good Christ. I mean, it's Christmas. It's Christmas morning.
00:18Number 10. Norseman
00:20Grab a sword and shield, because it's time to head back to 790s Norway.
00:25Norseman, the hit Norwegian period comedy, centers around a village of 8th-century Vikings.
00:45Unlike other historical shows full of adventure, the show extracts much of its humor from the humdrumness of the characters' daily lives.
00:52That being said, Norseman still packs plenty of action into its three seasons.
00:57Nok en gang har altså Thor og Odin vist at de virkelig sette pris på arbeidet vi gjør, for hvis de synes det had vært så galt å blindre og slakte og kjende, så hadde vi jo ikke stått her i dag med et så stort bitte.
01:14The production design is also top-notch, with stunning cinematography and authentic costumes.
01:20A satirical look at a dark period of Europe's past, mixed with some dry humor, Norseman is a must-watch for any history buff.
01:28For fans seeking superhero content outside of the Marvel Universe, The Neighbor is exactly what you're looking for.
01:56The comedy sci-fi Netflix series hails from Spain and follows Javier, a man down on his luck.
02:02After a fateful encounter with a dying alien, Javier gains superpowers, including the ability to fly and superhuman strength.
02:26Of course, his new skills require a major learning curve, which results in lots of physical comedy.
02:38A fun and zany ride with a fresh approach to the superhero genre, The Neighbor will save any viewer from the evil forces of boredom.
02:45The thing is that yesterday, I swear, a man came from space and gave me his powers to be a cosmic guardian or something like that.
02:54I mean, you're talking about the chosen one, maybe.
02:57Number eight, an astrological guide for broken hearts.
03:01Saturn has been found for a whole month.
03:03The sun has been in a network for a few days, and on the chart, it's complicated situations both from the emotional point of view and professional point of view.
03:13A whimsical mixture of cute and quirky, this series is guaranteed to please rom-com enthusiasts all over the world.
03:20Based on a book by Sylvia Zucca, An Astrological Guide for Broken Hearts is a love letter to hopeless romantics.
03:27It's been two years that you're hiding behind this friendship to not turn the page.
03:35Well, it's the time to split the wall.
03:40To be fabulous and efficient.
03:43Set in Turin, the Italian Netflix series focuses on a lovesick production assistant named Alice.
03:49Single and wishing to find Mr. Right, her luck changes when she meets an astrology expert, and the rest, as you say, written in the stars.
03:57Whether or not you believe in astrology, Broken Hearts is destined to bring you plenty of laughs.
04:03Number 7, Call My Agent.
04:16J'ai vachement entendu parler de vous, on m'a dit que vous étiez la plus grande empresario de Paris.
04:20Bon, ça va, mais pas que à toi non plus.
04:22T'as dit empresario, toi?
04:24Ouais, c'est plus classe qu'agent, non?
04:26Welcome to Agence's Samuel Kerr, a Parisian talent agency where both comedy and drama get top billing.
04:33This is the premise of France's hit series, Call My Agent, originally called Depourcent, in its country of origin.
04:40The show is a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges faced by ASK's chronically stressed-out agents,
04:46as they attempt to survive the unforgiving world of show business.
04:49Don't give me time to think.
04:51Packed full of wit and cerebral humor, the show was so successful during its four-season run
05:03that it spun off series in countries such as Italy, India, and Turkey, as well as England,
05:09where it was renamed 10%.
05:11Robert's happy to talk.
05:12No, I'm not.
05:13He understands.
05:14Bollocks.
05:15I'm sorry.
05:15Not now.
05:17They're all on your side.
05:17I'm not.
05:19Number 6, Please Like Me.
05:21I think we should break up.
05:23Oh.
05:26Oh, that's bad.
05:28I just, I kind of feel like we've drifted, you know?
05:32This isn't good at all.
05:34Well, so you're gay?
05:35What?
05:36Throughout four seasons, Josh Thomas charmed Australian audiences on the comedy Please Like Me.
05:42Thomas, the show's creator, starred as the protagonist, also named Josh,
05:47a young man navigating adulthood and his newly discovered sexuality.
05:50Do you prefer Big Spoon or Little Spoon?
05:53I don't know.
05:59I don't really get the Big Spoon, Little Spoon thing.
06:02Surely that'd be the same size spoons.
06:04Different size spoons don't fit together like this.
06:06A hit with both the public and critics, the program was praised for both its heart and
06:12humor, as well as its representation of queer characters.
06:15The series has also won numerous awards and accolades for successfully balancing heavy subject
06:21matters with thought, care, and levity.
06:23It seems that audiences don't just like Please Like Me, they love it.
06:28I guess.
06:31Yes.
06:32You guessed.
06:32I mean, yes, the artist.
06:33No, you didn't.
06:34Yes, yes.
06:35To the question.
06:36Number five, chewing gum.
06:38My mum was going to name me Alyssa, which means sweet angel in Indian, but when I came out,
06:43she looked at me and she called me Tracy.
06:45Tracy.
06:47When it sounds like I eat bacon sarmies or have sex at the back of the bus, I don't eat
06:50pork, man.
06:51And I don't even want to have sex with my boyfriend in a bedroom.
06:54Excuse me.
06:56I'm trying to prove my life partner.
06:58Created and led by the incredibly talented Michaela Cole, this English sitcom should absolutely
07:04be on your radar.
07:05This semi-autobiographical series follows Tracy, a 24-year-old woman who hopes to break free
07:11of her religious upbringing, understand the world around her, and get some action.
07:16If you want a tiny little kiss, we can just have one little kiss.
07:18I'm coming towards you, okay?
07:19I just want one kiss, okay, please?
07:21Ow!
07:22Chewing gum refuses to hold back in putting the hilariously awkward facets of coming of age
07:27on full display, and Cole's performance absolutely drives it home.
07:31Having been adapted from her one-woman play, the show is imbued with equal parts heart,
07:37insight, and wittiness.
07:39We just wish that there were more than two seasons to enjoy.
07:42Aw, thank you, Esther.
07:43That means a lot, you know.
07:45I feel it like...
07:47Like Oprah.
07:48Number 4.
07:49Dairy Girls.
07:50Should we break it up?
07:52Don't touch the air!
07:53Don't touch the air!
07:56Let's leave it a minute.
07:57Set amid the troubles in Northern Ireland, Dairy Girls isn't your average teen comedy.
08:03The series chronicles the life of teenage Catholic schoolgirl Erin and her group of
08:07friends, as they face the many plights of adolescence, love, family drama, and rebellion.
08:13It uses humor to cope with and make sense of a bleak period in history.
08:18Bonus!
08:18It features a pre-Bridgerton Nicola Coughlin in her breakout role as the side-splitting Claire.
08:24Yes, okay, I was there, I admit that, but I didn't do anything.
08:28It was Michelle.
08:29It was all Michelle.
08:30I'm not going down for something I didn't do.
08:32If anyone deserves to get punished, it should be Michelle.
08:40Well, I think it's safe to say we all just lost a bit of respect for you there, Claire.
08:44A little raunchy and also incredibly sweet.
08:46Watching Dairy Girls is like receiving the biggest and warmest of hugs.
08:51Are they good?
08:53How are they good?
08:55Number 3.
08:57We Are Lady Parts.
08:58Okay, so my husband's quest was going fairly disastrously.
09:02Little did I know things were about to change.
09:05Big time.
09:071, 2, 3, 4!
09:08Set in the UK, We Are Lady Parts is more than a television series.
09:16It's an anthem.
09:17It follows Lady Parts, a female Muslim punk rock band, as its members attempt to navigate
09:23relationships, adulthood, and culture.
09:25One part boredom, two parts identity crisis.
09:31No, no, no.
09:32Stop, stop.
09:34Why are we stopping?
09:34We sound wank.
09:35Profoundly wank.
09:36Harsh assessment.
09:37Now you know what?
09:38We sound worse than wank.
09:39What's worse than wank?
09:40Created by Nita Mansoor, the series consists of laugh-out-loud comedy and heartfelt moments
09:46that stick with you long after the credits roll.
09:49In addition, it also features a great soundtrack full of both pre-existing and original songs.
09:55Only two seasons long so far, We Are Lady Parts continues to rock with every rewatch.
10:01That was sick.
10:02That was so sick!
10:04What did I tell you?
10:04Oh my gosh, what did she tell you?
10:06That was sick, man.
10:07It was alright.
10:082, North of North.
10:10You don't deserve him.
10:12You know what, Lucy?
10:13If you love Tink so much, why don't you go screw him?
10:17Woo!
10:19Gross!
10:20He's my cousin!
10:23So hard to remember who's related.
10:26Released in 2025, North of North hails from the Great White North.
10:30Set in a closed-knit Arctic community, the show follows Siaya, a young Inuk wife and mother
10:36whose life takes a major turn when she decides to leave her husband in pursuit of finding herself.
10:42The catalyst finds her facing unexpected situations and challenges resulting in lots of laughs.
10:48Partying is like riding a bike while drunk.
10:52Okay.
10:53I know how to get drunk.
10:54I'm ready to start my new life.
10:57Studis.
10:58Anna Lam, who plays Siaya, is the heart and soul of the series, leading a cast of equally
11:03funny and memorable characters.
11:05Her comedic timing is impeccable.
11:08A story about reinvention and the pursuit of happiness, North of North is heading in the
11:13right direction.
11:14You're making fun of me.
11:15No, I would never.
11:16Not your face, anyway.
11:18I would do it behind your back.
11:19Like a respectable modern Inukleman.

11:38Number 1.
11:40Ghosts.
11:41Inheriting an estate is a massive undertaking.
11:44Inheriting one filled with spirits is a whole other deal.
11:49They say you're welcome.
11:50They?
11:51You mean there's two of them?
11:57Yes.
11:57In the UK hit series Ghosts, Allison and her husband Mike move into Button House, a mansion
12:04left to her by a relative.
12:06Their plans to transform it into a hotel are foiled after an accident leaves Allison with
12:11the ability to interact with a group of ghosts that haunt the house.
12:15Well, that seems pretty conclusive.
12:17She can also hear us.
12:18From a caveman to a Georgian aristocrat, the apparitions come from all different eras throughout
12:24history.
12:24Trading in scares for lighthearted laughs and mirth, Ghosts widely appeals to all kinds
12:30of audiences.
