Abso Lutely Productions: The Poll

Nathan For You has got to be one of the most consistently hilarious & profound shows in television history, just remarkably tight and well put together for a Comedy Central show. I remember reading an interview with Nathan & some of the producers where they talked out how difficult it was to assemble because they have to build a narrative out of 50+ hours of footage and they had to shoot everything in order because they never knew how things were going to go.

that said I've gotten such an insane amount of enjoyment from On Cinema & all the related stuff (I do include Decker in there fwiw), I kind of have to vote for it. not only does it feel utterly unique as a series (a spoof of podcasts that eventually added a dozen characters, spun off a TV show, a movie, a 5-hour "trial" video which is hands-down one of the most daring comedy "films" ever made, and now its own network, all while doing progressively more complex and innovative Oscar Specials every year?) but it's also a legitimately great drama. sometimes it's funny in the way shows like, I dunno, Breaking Bad are funny. Outside of the background graphics during the Specials there are almost no real punchlines.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Voting for Tom goes to the Mayor because no one else will.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Ooh 4 for Tom goes to the Mayor. Kudos

The episodes I've watched never really clicked for me but I guess I'll have to give it a proper try someday. It's the one T&E thing I haven't watched in its entirety multiple times over.
