The spec instantly went viral and eventually landed Domineau, a freelance joke writer at the time, a job on Family Guy. A more recent example is Eliza Cossio’s Sex and the City/Sopranos crossover script from earlier this year, but if we had to choose a standout, it would be Billy Domineau’s spec script from 2016 imagining an episode of Seinfeld that takes place in the days after 9/11. It’s become fairly common for comedians and aspiring television writers to write and share spec scripts for famous sitcoms, often mashing them up with another show or news item. I'd love for you to read and enjoy and hate me for it. Whether it’s a single-serving Twitter account, unforgettable Comedy Bang! Bang! segment, or scene in a TV show we’ve rewatched over and over, these are over 200 moments that were created this decade, made us laugh, and refused to leave our brains. It’s all too much to summarize or list in one place, so to celebrate the decade, we decided to look back on the last ten years of comedy by revisiting some of our favorite moments in alphabetical order - the videos, jokes, bits, and performers we keep coming back to and recommending to our friends. The rise of social media made possible a new generation of comedians who released funny videos and bits directly to fans, while online comedy outlets like Seeso struggled - and in more cases than not, failed - to stay afloat. A new comedy boom began, thanks in part to Netflix throwing unprecedented amounts of cash toward producing hundreds of new stand-up specials every year. Sketch-comedy shows like Key & Peele, Kroll Show, and Inside Amy Schumer enjoyed successful runs and consistently released sketches that went viral online. Beloved comedy series like 30 Rock, The Office, and Community ended their runs, making way for new favorites like Nathan for You, Veep, Review, Barry, Atlanta, BoJack Horseman, and more.

The world of late-night television went through a handful of changes, from Stephen Colbert’s move from right-wing parody on Comedy Central to David Letterman’s successor on CBS to the debuts of Conan O’Brien on TBS, Seth Meyers on Late Night, James Corden on The Late Late Show, Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, and a handful of hosts coming and going on Comedy Central, like Jon Stewart, Trevor Noah, Larry Wilmore, and Jordan Klepper. The 2010s were an incredibly active and transitional decade for comedy. Photo-Illustration: Illustration by Ari Liloan Photos by Veronica Crespo/YouTube and Comedy Central/YouTube
