Arrested Development if you haven't seen it. Archer is also highly recommended!
Depending on your definition of recent:
Archer, Arrested Development, Psych, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Wilfred, Better Off Ted. In order of my favorite to least favorite (but all still very good).
Non-comedies that are worth the watch:
Sherlock, Downton Abbey, Breaking Bad, Battlestar Galactica, Sons of Anarchy, Dresden Files. There are more, probably, but that should keep you buys for quite a bit of time. No order to these, just good shows in general.
what they said. you're in for a treat
Archer, Arrested Development and Sherlock, for certain. Also Parks and Rec, goddamnit.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Coupling or Secret Diary of a Call Girl!
Or Gavin and Stacey!
Oh, what's occurin'?
secret diary of a call girl xD
oh nothing
If you like Doctor Who then you should watch Torchwood and Sherlock, since each of them is made by one of Doctor Who's showrunners since it came back. Torchwood also ties into the universe. There are also a lot of Classic Who serials that are worth seeing if you haven't seen them yet, although they vary widely in quality. I'd recommend starting with Genesis of the Daleks or The Caves of Androzani, both of which regularly top Best Who Stories Ever lists for good reasons.
I will also second the recommendations for Archer and Arrested Development. Another show with similar humour that almost no one seemed to hear about is Better Off Ted, which unfortunately was Too Good to Last.
In the non-comedy category, I also second the Battlestar Galactica recommendation.
