Right now you can watch Timon and Pumbaa in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. With 8 seasons behind it, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Ernie Sabella — stay for everyone else around them. Start it on Disney Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Timon and Pumbaa keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Timon and Pumbaa land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Set after the events of the "The Lion King," follow Timon and Pumbaa as they go on misadventures in the jungle, as well as across the globe in various. Between them, Ernie Sabella and Kevin Schon carry the comedy without ever forcing it. 8 seasons (1995–1999) gave the story room most shows never get. Timon and Pumbaa earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Timon and Pumbaa is a strong candidate. The tonal similarities to The Proud Family are real, though Timon and Pumbaa carves out its own identity quickly. At 8 seasons, this is a genuine commitment — one that pays off. Ernie Sabella's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
