The 4 Best Comedies on Peacock This June
Have Peacock and want something funny to watch? These movies are the best of the best.
Like most streaming providers, Peacock has plenty of worthwhile content currently lining its digital library.
From award-winning sitcoms to pulse-pounding thrillers, there’s nary a dull option when it comes to the exciting offerings provided by NBC’s streaming service.
Not only that, Peacock currently has plenty of fantastic comedy films stocking its catalog, many of which are capable of tickling viewers’ funny bones from their attention-grabbing starts up to their satisfying conclusions.
Dog Man (2025)
A spiritual successor to the equally underrated Captain Underpants, Dog Man conjures up the colorful world of Dav Pilkey’s young adult series for the big screen. Retaining the author’s signature sense of imagination and his infectious humor, Dog Man serves as yet another impressive addition to DreamWorks’ lineup of films, adequately rivalling other recent releases like Orion and the Dark, Kung Fu Panda 4, and The Wild Robot.
The Holdovers (2023)
Nobody wants to be alone on Christmas. What’s more, no one wants to be alone at school on Christmas. Yet such is unfortunately the case for the three disjointed characters of 2023’s The Holdovers. A mesmerizing comedy drama that shows the unlikely friendship formed between a rebellious teenager, a crotchety historian, and a grieving mother, it’s that rare comedy capable of triggering tears even as it is encourages us to laugh, smile, and learn to respect and appreciate those around us (no matter how much we dislike them at first glance).
Happy Gilmore (1996)
It’s been nearly 30 years since Adam Sandler last picked up a putter, but the legendary comedian is set to formally reprise his role as Happy Gilmore in the upcoming Netflix movie, Happy Gilmore 2. As audiences count down the days to the release of the long-gestating sequel, it’s certainly worth mentioning that the original entry in the series is streaming on Peacock as we speak. A riotously funny sports comedy that solidified Sandler’s place at the forefront of ‘90s comedy, it’s also quite possibly the best golfing movie ever made, bar none.
How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
With How to Train Your Dragon’s live-action remake arriving in theaters in the middle of June, nostalgic viewers might want to revisit its original animated counterpart with 2010’s How to Train Your Dragon. The opening film in the hit How to Train Your Dragon series, How to Train Your Dragon provides a sweeping story capable of delighting a universal audience of viewers, no matter their age, interests, or respective demographic.
