for all things Comedy Central

oh i think ur right

Please stop having roasts, Comedy Central.

Anyone watching Nathan For You? I'm digging it. I liked the guy on Jon Benjamin Has A Van, too, which was overall a better show.

Definitely feels like a one-season series though, I can't see them renewing it.

Alright, how about Review? Anyone? The line "Forrest, someone sent you a scroll, a mask and a cockring" made my night tonight.

i only saw the first episode but i loved: "Cocaine. A MILLION STARS!"

i loved that cocaine bit: "OK hotshot, do you remember our son's name?"

This is really great so far

Seeing Andy Daly on stage tomorrow night. Should be great.

The turn in the Space review was so good

lol at the pancakes --> divorce --> eating even more pancakes sequence in the one episode. this reminds me of a less ott and much funnier version of porkin' across america

Pancakes/Divorce/Pancakes was one of the funniest things I've seen in ages, and every ep since has been at least good

I love that show. Daly's self-described Richie Cunningham-esque exterior has some really dark shit lurking underneath.

In other words, he's an Andy Daly character?

The whole season of Review, minus the finale obv, is streaming on CC's YouTube channel right now, for anyone interested.

OTM w/ the recent Onion webseries (porkin', sex house).

show deserves its own thread at this point. pancakes/divorce/pancakes is easily one of the best pieces of television i've seen.

i'm on my second run-through of it and this time around i cannot stop laughing at the faces A.J. makes.

Review is great.

Amy Schumer otoh is so terrible and racist and ugh stop encouraging her people!

i love andy daly so much, review + his recent podcast run have been so great.

i originally thought a.j. was going to be kind of superfluous, but now she's one of my favorite parts of the show.

xp amy schumer is p funny imo. do you have somewhere where i can eat this muffin? killed me

amy schumer owns

idc if shakey wants her dead that just makes me love her more

yay comedy central!

Comedy Central renews Inside Amy Schumer, Review, and TripTank, orders two new shows

TripTank seemed pretty worthless the one time i saw it but glad to hear about the other ones

Season premiere of Inside Amy Schumer was brilliant. "You know who Sally Field was Tom Hanks's love interest in Punchline and then like 20 minutes later she was his mom in Forrest Gump?" Ha!

Yeah!

I was happy to see Kyle Dunnigan on last night's episode doing his "ra-ah-pping fro-om my bo-oo-dy" beatboxing thing. Happy to see him on anything really, dude's funny.

Yeah, Dunnigan rocks, and this skit was very obviously designed as an excuse to get his "body rapping" bit onto the show. Not that I'm complaining.

i dont liek how every comedy central sketch show has to have relatable candid bits in between the sketches chappelles stand up, kroll awkwardly talking about the show with the writers, but amy schumer interviewing ppl might be the worst (jk obvs kroll awkwardly talking about the show with the writers is the worst), i dont remember what key n peele do

They used to talk to an audience like Chappelle did, but last season they were just talking to each other while driving through a barren desert in a car.

I like Amy talking to people on the street! Reminds me of my old fave Real Sex!

ya that part is funny

i meant like the sit down interviews

it's pretty bad on Kroll Show, I can't imagine anyone being interested in some writer smoking weed when he was 17 or whatever, and seeing Kroll as a normal dude kind of takes you out of the show a bit. sucks because the show is so good otherwise.

kroll show is good but it failed cause its was gross and nihilistic, u have to pick one or go on adult swim, too dark 4 mainstream

yeah it definitely feels like something that only could've worked in a post-Tim and Eric world. I don't think it was a failure

ugh Amy Schumer. really guys?

i just meant failure as in ppl didnt watch it and it got canceled

xp amy shouldn't have to pay for the sins of other schumers, shakey

I watched a couple of episodes and it felt like real fish-in-a-barrell stuff that was 20 years too late. reality tv shows are populated by awful brain-damaged narcissists? you don't say...

xp amy shouldn't have to pay for the sins of other schumers, shakey

idk if Chuckie's as shamefacedly racist as she is but ok

kroll just decided to end it, i think cc wanted more eps

whoah I had no idea the two Schumers were actually related!

xxp

first cousins!

Nick Kroll is one of my least favorite persons of some regard. I'd love for him to fade away, but he's probably only just getting started.

Amy Schumer is great. Feel like she's finally found her voice with this season of the show.

anyway let's all enjoy this "charming" horrifying shit from a white woman:

http://www.cc.com/jokes/1otgis/stand-up-amy-schumer--amy-schumer--hispanic-ex-boyfriend

so much of this garbage in her material

feel like Sarah Silverman already does a way better job of mining this "omg did a white girl just say that" schtick without actually being horribly racist. With Sarah the joke is always on her, with Schumer the joke is always on the minority.

I generally like schumer but already this season of the show feels like she may have run out of good ideas for sketches imo

“I used to date Hispanic guys, but now I prefer consensual!” ]

haha get it latino guys are rapists! HILARIOUS

xp

ppl hated sarah silverman's racial humor (remember the whole asian controversy?) but i think the longer she was on the scene the more ppl got used to her and now she's such a fixture a lot of that stuff is overlooked. there are no comedians that only say inoffensive things. well, there are. my synagogue sometimes hires 'clean comedians.' they are not funny.

this is the season where basically everything schumer does is getting picked apart post mortem in a gazillion thought pieces

I'm not a Patton Oswalt level bad joke apologist by any means, but I've come around to the idea that looking at some fairly gnarly jokes in the larger body of a comedian's entire work is key. Like, I don't actually believe Amy Schumer is a racist, but she'll dabble in stereotypes for a laugh. Daniel Tosh, otoh, is probably a straight up racist bro and all his racial/gender/class shit is just him speaking from his id.

Man, I hope it comes back. Show is perfect/horrible/can't avert my eyes.

Man, @Midnight has suuuucked for a while now. Hardwick is insufferable and needs to fill up every pause with either hacky shit (dude cannot stop talking about dicks) or jokes that one of the panelists were probably going to make, and the guests have been shit too. Feels like most of the comedians in LA are boycotting it or something.

Jeff And Some Aliens?! A show about a regular dude who lives with some aliens who are, get this, just regular dudes too.

I think aliens/zombies/monsters/whatever-are-just-normal-dudes is a premise that can be retired.

hey, 3rd Rock From the Sun was funny (20 years ago)

People of Earth is doing good things with a kinda-similar premise.

I watched the first episode of PoE and... it's okay. I wanted to like it more. I like Wyatt Cenac and a lot of the cast, though, so I'll probably watch the whole season.

Man, This Is Not Happening. Ari Shaffir. Absolutely dire shit.

V little exposure to the dude but I just remember my one listen to an ep of Ari's podcast was dire enough I never wanted to pay attention to anything else he did

Ari blows

This Is Not Happening is a great premise and a good show. Shaffir, for someone as dumb as he is, is open to learning and is an excellent stand-up. He's like the anti-Rogan.

It's a good premise, I'd probably like it if they had a better host and guests. I guess I'm glad he's "open to learning" but he's just not funny to me, has that kind of bro-ish vibe that I'm not into at all.

I thought this was funny:

Well, sure. Actually funny dudes are funny on that show.
