This little button is available right now on HBO Max’s desktop interface. Netflix’s Play Something button, Variety explains, is only available on connected TV devices and Android phones and tablets. Also, where Netflix’s shuffle option spans the entirety of their catalog, HBO opted for a more … selective approach. Rather than offer everything up for what could turn out to be a dangerous game of HBO Roullette with some not-so-family-friendly content, there is a limited selection of 45 TV shows on the service that might crop up.
Now, depending on where you are viewing, these are the available titles for shuffling:
- “A World of Calm”
- “Adventure Time”
- “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown”
- “Apple & Onion”
- “Chappelle’s Show”
- “Courage the Cowardly Dog”
- “Craig of the Creek”
- “Curb Your Enthusiasm”
- “Ed, Ed and Eddy”
- “ER”
- “Flight of the Conchords”
- “Fresh Prince”
- “Friends”
- “Full House”
- “Great Pottery Throwdown”
- “Hot Ones”
- “How It Really Happened”
- “Impractical Jokers”
- “Key & Peele”
- “Looney Tunes”
- “Martin”
- “Mike & Molly”
- “Regular Show”
- “Reno 911!”
- “Rick & Morty”
- “Robot Chicken”
- “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!”
- “Selena + Chef”
- “Sesame Street”
- “South Park”
- “Teen Titans Go!”
- “The Amazing World of Gumball”
- “The Big Bang Theory”

At least there won’t be episodes of “Real Sex” popping up if you accidentally hit the button while your parents are visiting. Now go! Throw caution to the wind and see where serendipity leads you. Fare thee well, friends.
