I particularly like psychological detectives. Like "Columbo".
But that's probably since I don't know that many psychological comedies.
Or do "Monty Python" and "Fawlty Towers" count?  ;D
Or "The Daily Show"? Though that may be Political Comedy. I love that show.

I'm not sure if this counts, IIRC there was some violence but I remember "Analyze This" being funny. Also, "Dr Strangelove".

"Analyse This" was funny. That's with Billy Chrystal and Robert DeNiro, right?
"Dr. Stranglove" is awesome, and funny, too.

I've been working my way through Lady Dynamite on Netflix. It stars Maria Bamford and is about her struggle to rejoin the Hollywood comedy scene after being hospitalized for bipolar disorder. It is very weird and has incredibly funny scenes. Stuff that's truly original and totally gets mental illness and the road to recovery. It's crude and full of swears, but I like that. I actually find it hard to take Maria Bamford myself, but the show is so funny that I bought in by the end of the 2nd half hour. I might even look up some of her comedy now. She's an alt comic, so definitely niche, but I think a lot of folks here might identify with her perspective.
