The Top 5 Funniest TV Comedies of 2010 (PHOTOS)

Below are my picks for the Top 5 Funniest shows of the year, as seen on Gotcha Media. Since it was so tough to limit this list to only five shows, I've listed some honorable mentions at the bottom of this post.

THE DAILY SHOW / THE COLBERT REPORT

More than ever this year, Comedy Central's pair of flagship late night shows came together to form one solid block of insightful hilarity four times a week. Some of my favorite segments from The Daily Show's "best fucking news team ever" include Lewis Black on Glenn Beck's Nazi Tourette's, John Oliver at the World Cup, Wyatt Cenac as the Michael Steele puppet, Samantha Bee on all those lady candidates and "Jason Jones' Bayonne". Some of Jon Stewart's finest moments were his increasingly brilliant appearances as Glenn Beck, his insistent mockery of Rick Sanchez and his profanity-laced gospel tribute to Bernie Goldberg.
Highlights from The Colbert Report included Colbert one-upping Rahm Emanuel and calling Sarah Palin a "fucking retard," setting an example for Obama by beating up BP's Tony Hayward, and embodying Dr. Strangelove to oppose the "Ground Zero Mosque." And of course, Colbert kicked off the idea of the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear with his segment comparing Glenn Beck and Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Rally was the comedy event of the year, from the initial teases through Jon Stewart's powerful closing speech. The clip that sums it all up is the moment when The Daily Show and The Colbert Report came together to make the joint announcement that they were combining the two opposing rallies into one, with a little help from the most powerful woman in America.
