Russian Dollies posted:Ugh. I have a friend that worked on this show, and while he loved Tom Goes to the Mayor, he said this show was pretty much crap. It's apparently nothing like TGTTM, and more avant garde. That's awesome, and Tom Goes to the Mayor wasn't even remotely avant garde. If you've ever had to deal with local government, that show was completely spot-on and made perfect sense.

livingfruitvirus posted:Oh God. He looks like he should be in a commercial texting JOKE to 4923884083. Either that or selling you nasal spray, or yelling at you about some crazy sale on last year's models this Saturday at the local Ford dealership. My favorite part was the parody of Whose Line Is It Anyway. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought that show was the antithesis of humor. Even the British version. It wasn't funny when I first saw it in the early 90s and it isn't funny now.

Babylonian posted:My brother showed me this saying it reminded him so much of T&E. I completely agree. It's always funny whenever the HOT HOT HOT video turns up. I know the people who made it, and they could easily be characters from Tom Goes To The Mayor. The genius of that show, and Tim & Eric in general, is how well they understand silly goober poo poo like the bumpkin local government folks that genuinely make crap like that video and think it's high art.

Mr Viper posted:I don't know how many of you watch Reaper, but Ray Wise (the guy in the Business Hugs commercials) plays the devil on that show, which made each and every business hug scene amazing. Ray Wise wears a power suit like nobody else can. It's that haircut. I lost it at Steve Brule's viral video where he started appropriating old AC/DC songs.

Mike_V posted:They really nailed the early 90s aesthetic in the divorce part. Those haircuts were unbelievable. The daughter's hair in particular made me think they were going to do a spoof of Troll 2. BertrandRussell posted:The divorce scene and the finale of C.O.R.B.S. are the only things that can top Ray Wise; if you don't know him from Reaper, he was also Leland Palmer in Twin Peaks, one of the best characters of all time. He's also really good as Kristy Swanson's dad in The Chase.

The only thing that could have possibly made it funnier is if they managed to make fun of lovely Christian "extreme teen" shows that mine the same depths as G4 but comically all look like parodies of 1998 themselves.

Superabound posted:This current episode with Tommy Wiseau really makes me wonder if theres some loser factory out there they get a discount at. Do they just go down to the unemployment office/free clinic and ask random people if they want a job? 70% of LA's population is comprised of failed/underemployed actors who have been driven half-insane. So yes, in fact there is a loser factory.

Chairman Capone posted:I still think it's really weird that the woman who announced them at the beginning went on to be one of the main actors in 24. And as a result slobbered over by Rush Limbaugh. And the only reason why she was on Mr. Show was she was loving David Cross. e: sucks Adult Swim didn't pick up the Neil Hamburger game show, that looked like a lot of fun.

YancyDCjew posted:I normally wouldn't watch videos for whatever type of music Major Lazer is, but they're actually kind of catchy. I wonder if I would dig it as much if there wasn't frightening and awesome visuals to go along with it. It's kind of an odd track on that album, but in that context it's just an okay dance pop tune. The hook is a little tacked-on.

waitaminute posted:I agree with all of this but I don't necessarily think that pushing the envelope = high class comedy that those Family Guy watching plebes will never get. When they're doing a parody of something it doesn't take a genius to figure out all of the nuances of it. The intentionally bad acting, intentionally fuzzy bad camera work, bad I like the look of their sets when they make fun of the early 90s- lots of pastels and rattan.

graphics, the quick cuts, whatever else they do.. It's different for sure, maybe even groundbreaking, but there's nothing to "get". It's smartly done and well made but saying something like "you just don't get it" about this show makes whoever is saying it look like a shut in that thinks Adult Swim is high art and Applebee's is fine cuisine.

Kristen Wiig should go on Awesome Show. She does well with good writing. Still wanna see her do a show called Wiigin' Out. Khurath posted:Really, this is why I enjoy this show so much. They've created a surprisingly coherent alternate universe where poo poo is king, where James Quall is a huge celebrity and dangerous/nonsensical Cinco products inspire such customer loyalty that the brothers Cinco hold press events much like Steve Jobs does in our reality. Nothing about their reality makes any drat sense at all, but watching them flesh it out right down to the little details like their own bizarre jargon ("pep-pep" being the most commonly noted example) is really enjoyable to me. It's one of the few shows that seems to get more entertaining with each watching - the first time I see an episode I rarely laugh, but after three or four viewings I'm choking up with laughter as I start to actually make some sense of the weird things they're doing. I dunno aboot all that; I think it's more that it's an intentionally funny version of The ButterCream Gang. WITNESS THE POWER! posted:

I liked that they blended the sexualization of the Jonas Bros with the creepy Billy Ray/Miley Cyrus father as Svengali angle.
