Paramount Comedy also launched in the Middle East and North Africa in 1996, but it went defunct in 2000. In both the United Kingdom and Spain the channel originally shared the broadcast channel with corporate sibling Nickelodeon, but later the two separated. In Arabia, the channel time-shared with TV Land but the two networks disappeared in 2000.

On 12 February 2009, Paramount Comedy UK&I announced that it was to re-brand as Viacom's international comedy brand Comedy Central on 6 April 2009. Later, most of the rest of international versions of Paramount Comedy completed the re-brand to Comedy Central: Paramount Comedy Italy on May 1, 2007, and Paramount Comedy Spain on May 14, 2014.

By 2017, the channel is one of the last to retain the Paramount Comedy branding. Most have become Comedy Central and the only other holdout is Ukraine (Paramount Comedy launched there in 2017).
