Sometimes you need to cleanse your palate and look beyond your television. Look no further because here are 10 hilarious comedy web series on YouTube to get you through your summertime withdrawal.
Web series have come a long way with the help of YouTube. Many have even made their way to cable television, including Comedy Central’s Broad City and IFC’s Portlandia. Some, however, live their life as a web series and should stay that way. It is a creative format like no other.
Here are, in our opinion, the 10 best comedy web series.

A popular, funny and award winning series loosely based on Pride and Prejudice‘s Elizabeth Bennet.
‘The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo’
A mix of Will and Grace, Girls, and Broad City, this zany comedy goes far and beyond the boundaries of the conventional web series.
