The Funny Side is an American sketch comedy program that aired on NBC as part of its 1971 fall lineup.

The Funny Side was hosted by Gene Kelly and starred five pairs of actors and actresses who were presented as married couples (although only one was married in real life). Each week was an examination of the "funny side" of a potential issue in real-life marriages, such as health, money, sex and the like. Each couple was a stereotype. Kelly also appeared as an actor in the sketches, and there was also a musical aspect with production numbers.

The Funny Side received poor Nielsen ratings and was cancelled after less than four months on the air.
