US Cult Comedies....

OK, so I like Arrested Development, Curb, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, The Office, Human Giant and Trailer Park Boys, but what am I missing?

I mean, people say about these Adult Swim shows, which I'm not really that into. Are there any other really good modern US comedies I've been missing? Failing that, what about Aussie or Kiwi shows? Seen Kath & Kim & Flight of the Conchords, but that's about it.

Any recomendations?

brilliant!


I'm looking for...

real life comedy shows. As good as Adult Swim is (Boondocks is asolutely amazing), I was thinking about something with real people and such.


Adult Swim shows are so hit and miss

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is either subtle genius or absolute stoner idiocy. I'm not sure.

Same goes for Sealab 2021, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, The Venture Bros and Harvey Birdman.

Robot Chicken's really the only consistently good one.


and is basically just

the adam & joe toy movies with a bigger budget ?


haha

"woah, slow down!"


30 Rock

Greg the Bunny


Yes! 30 Rock!

Closest thing I've found to Arrested Development since it ended.


I sorta get arrested development

but Curb? it just annoys me!


Curb took some time to click with me

but then again, I remember a time that I didn't like Seinfeld...I mean, SEINFELD.


curb took me longer to click than seinfeld

but i remember not being instantly convinced by either and now they're two of my favourite shows


Xavier Renegade Angel

the best thing since Wondershowzen, which in terms of satire is the only thing that touches Chris Morris' prime.

Xavier might take some search work, but just check out this exchange

"If you like women so much, why don't you marry one?"
"I'm already married...to justice"
"Figures, only a blind chick would go for you"


more people should watch

its always sunny. the third series was so so good.


any more?


We Could Be Heroes

and Summer Heights High.

Hilarious mockumentaries made by and starring the genius that is Chris Lilley.


In addition

...both these shows are about one thousand times better than Kath and Kim.


nice...

but where can you watch them?


Hmmm...

There is probably some snippets on youtube. Or you could just download them via BitTorrent I think.


^ awesome show...

got the box set.


Bill's dance

is one of the greatest things I have ever seen.
