Perhaps the ~most important~ study to come out of 2020 has found the top 10 funniest sitcoms of all time, and the results are... just a tad controversial.

This week, OnBuy.com revealed the comedy shows that are most likely to elicit laughs from their audiences (yes, it was measured by the total laughter duration audiences had while viewing each show) by sitting 120 volunteers down and asking them to binge-watch ten different series.

Now, we can only imagine this study was a long-time coming.

Waiting for 120 volunteers to finish thousands of hours worth of TV? 2020 has been long, but these must be some avid comedy-watchers.

And while we respect the process,Seinfielddidn't make it in the top 10, and frankly, that seems like a miscarriage of justice.

But nonetheless, if ever there was a time we all needed a laugh, it's now.

So without further ado, we provide you: OnBuy's list of the funniest sitcoms of all time - with a side of our unsolicited commentary, of course.

1. The Office (US Edition)

The Officeis a simple, yet effective beast. Following the everyday lives of coworkers at the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, the show is hilarious in its take on the mundanity of office life.

The series ran for nine seasons over eight years, and cemented a place in both our hearts, and on this list.

Coming in at number one with an average of 1min 45sec of laughing per hour, we'll accept this result.

You can stream The Office (US) on Stan.

2. Brooklyn 99

Brooklyn 99is an American sitcom that follows Jake Peralta, a young NYPD detective and his team as they solve crime in particularly unconventional ways.

The series ran for seven seasons and look, we may a little bias, but this one is a real winner for us.

Brooklyn 99came in at second place, just afterThe Officewith an average of 1min 38secs of laughter per hour.

You can stream Brooklyn 99 on Netflix.

3. Community

Communityis an American series set at a community college in Colorado with an impressive cast, and lots of laughs.

Communityran for six seasons between 2009 and 2015, and made a particular name for it's parodying of television and pop culture tropes.

Audiences reportedly laughed for 1min 13secs per hour, and well, fair enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can stream Community on Netflix.

4. Parks and Recreation
