I really liked The Booth at the End, which was exclusive to Hulu I think.

Hey, gently caress you, pal.

This thread will get an appropriate tag when That Mitchell and Webb Look is available on Netflix Streaming again. Peep Show is an alright substitute, though...to complement the holiday season, I recommend S7E5 "Season Beatings".

I think M&W are pretty much all available on youtube if you like poo poo quality.

Weird thing about that show is, thanks to goons constantly linking clips of it I think I've seen pretty much all the good material already.

That Mitchell and Webb Look is available on Netflix UK, along with other gems like Black Books, Utopia and Black Mirror. If you have a netflix US (non-DVD) sub, you can use Hola (hola.org) or any other location-spoofing method to watch those. Utopia and Black Mirror alone are worth the hassle, quality miniseries. Black books & Mitchell and Webb are just bonuses at that point.

Utopia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdfJNIMGXx4

Utopia season one is great. Great premise, great execution. Season (series?) 2 is just a retread with some Game of Thrones actress in the first prequel episode to get you hyped and it just gets ridiculous how every freaking character shows up for the multiple dramatic climaxes. Badly written trash.

Black Mirror on the other hand is gold and everyone should watch it. I really hope the next season will be as well done.

And That Mitchell and Webb Look is pretty solid too. I've been watching it from the beginning for the last week. The only problem is so many goons link clips of it that I've seen most of the good material already. v0v

I'm a manly man who only only eats raw meat and acid and that show is pretty funny. The daughter starts off bad (rumor was that she could never hut her marks so she had to be led around the set) and somehow gets worse. The rest of the cast is great.

Agents of Shield is up and it's not as awful as everyone initially claimed.
It's not good but I hear it gets pretty amazing toward the end of the first season.

At some point Bill Paxton joins the cast. I remember his eps being pretty decent.

Danny DeVito-directed Duplex is pretty funny (if you can stomach Ben Stiller). A young couple buys a duplex where the upstairs apartment is rent controlled and already occupied by a sweet old lady that they're forbidden to evict. The ink isn't even dry on the sale agreement when they realize the "sweet old lady" is seemingly hellbent on ruining their lives.

Duplex is one of the best dark comedies I can remember in recent years. It does not pull any punches.

It's been on Netflix as long as I can remember, but I just watched Bad Santa for the first time in several years and it's still hilarious. I wish Billy Bob Thornton was my father figure/burglar Santa. Keep an eye out for a scene featuring the dude who played Neelix on Voyager.


The Clerks cartoon is probably the best thing Kevin Smith made, because he had a shitload of people controlling his output and editing him. I'm going to say it: Kevin Smith is the George Lucas of comedy.

I haven't seen Clerks TAS since my buddy bought it in like 2000 but it had a lot of great stuff that stuck with me.

Bad Santa, otoh I've seen countless times and it's just a tour de force of awesome. It's kinda bittersweet though because Bernie Mac and Jon Ritter kicked the bucket.

Personally, I haven't seen all of it and can't tell if I liked what I saw or what the appeal was.

I happen to prefer My Name is Bruce as a portrayal of a typical Chinaman gone amok.

And Bruce Campbell outshone Kurt Russel in Escape From LA which itself was superior to Escape From NY.

Just noticed they finally put up the 8th season of Peep Show on netflix.

If anyone hasn't seen it, you NEED it in your life. British sitcom, based around possibly the most socially awkward people ever committed to film.

Some all-time classic comedy moments, but you will watch them through your fingers. Think "British Curb Your Enthusiasm" and you're pretty close.

Before I finished reading your post I was gonna say CYE (because I'm catching up on it a little late but I'd already seen most of Peep Show) because it's almost physically painful how awkward both shows are.

To me Bojack got hilarious by episode 5 or so. It was building up to that though and it was worth sticking with. I can't remember any animated series for adults that didn't have a couple of weak episodes at first so I can't complain. Maybe except for the amazing Rick and Morty but that's exactly what it is - an exception.

I rewatched bojack s2 and I can't find any faults in it. If anyone is on the fence about it look up the cast list on imdb. Lots of talented people threw their hats in and did very subtle voice work. If you're like me and tend to try to identify people by voice it's distracting but amazing who's on that show.

If you haven't seen the episode, read no spoilers going in. If you have and it's been a while, I encourage you to watch it again - I just re-watched all of Voyager not too long ago and it blew my mind how completely insane Threshold is.

I like the fact that Kate Mulgrew got frustrated with how they wrote Janeway as an insane person and just went with it.

Show is still objectively bad but eh,

She had the self esteem to say 'I'm not going to swing my titties around like an extra in Roadhouse, tyvm' and his political ship sank.
