Just finished Neighbors on HBO and I was wondering if there are any shows or documentaries about just genuinely insane people and their neighbors feuding. Even open to YouTube videos.
How To with John Wilson is one of my comfort shows. His voice and cadence, coupled with exceptional editing and brilliant subject matter, make it so soothing and easily watchable.

It bums me out so much that the show is over because it was so delightful and comforting.

Nathan for You and The Rehearsal are the funniest shows I’ve seen.

As an added bonus John Wilson also features old men's grey dicks in full HD

Our dicks aren’t gray! They’re just underlit….

It's Florida Man is a lot of fun about insane stories from Florida being reenacted by various celebrities with interviews with the actual people who lived it.
There's also a show called Neighborhood Wars that's fun.

Try the documentary “Shut Up Little Man.”
I also think any doc by relative newcomer Lance Oppenheimer is very similar tonally — Some Kind of Heaven, Spermworld and the HBO three part series Ren Faire. That last one in particular has similar feuding and parlor intrigue to Neighbors. If you’ve never seen the doc The King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters, you’d probably love that as well. Ooh and who can forget Finders Keepers? So many good docs out there about quirky American bloodfeuds.

Check out the documentaries of Lance Oppenheim: Some Kind of Heaven, Spermworld, and Ren Faire. Similar comedic tone.

What makes neighbors good is how they edited it. They gave us all the funny parts and no boring filler. So you’re going to want to look for other docs that do that. It’s like if they edited nathan for you to just be the scenes without the background narration where he is just talking to the people.

Was ready to list a bunch of soap operas but then realised everyone’s talking about a different show i’ve never heard of.

One more recommendation for How To With John Wilson. Apparently there's some of the same producers on both. Neighbors scratched the itch, but How To is soooo much better.

Fear Thy Neighbor on Investigation Discovery channel. More like a true crime reenaction vibe but based on real life stories

You may enjoy the weird story of Errol Morris' excellent documentary *Tabloid* which is [currently on Pluto](https://pluto.tv/on-demand/movies/tabloid-2009-1-1?utm_source=plutotv&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=1000201&utm_content=1000735)

There's a show called Vengeance Killer Neighbors. It's not funny but it's wild. I just watched it and got tons of commercials for Neighbors.

How To with John Wilson is probably the closest vibe-wise. Same kinda weird real-life energy but somehow even more wholesome.

There's 40 years of Neighbours to watch, so get cracking.
