The Lonely Island, Flight of the Conchords, Tim and Eric Awesome Show!, Judd Apatow, Demetri Martin, Funny or Die.

For a while there I thought we were gonna be stuck with Carlos Mencia and The Blue Collar Comedy Tour forever!

Yeah, Tim and Eric is a terrible show. "OMG, it's so bad, it's funny!" No, it's so bad, it's REALLY bad.

thank you! i thought i was the only one. There is no bit of comedy to it, no jokes, no development throughout the show, just random, bad, unfunnyness.

I can see why you'd think that, but I fucking love that show. Loved those guys since Tom goes to the Mayor.

I think that stand-up comedy is top notch at the moment, and unscripted comedy programs (e.g. comedy panel shows and things) are pretty good too, but scripted shows and scripted movies aren't that great at the moment in my opinion.

The only respectable comedy act in that list is Flight of the Conchords. 


Edit: although I should add that Demitri Martin has serious potential, he just needs to make some aesthetic changes regarding his set and presentation.

I've said before and probably posted this video 3 times or more since the creation of giant bomb but I'll do it again because I feel like it.

Jon Dore Show is one of the best out there, its Canadian so most probably don't know about it. Flight of the Conchords is really great too.

Nothing in this thread is anywhere near as good as Seinfeld. Try again.

Slightly below crap? How far would you like me to go? At least the masturbation episode was slightly redeemable.

Tim and Eric is a horrible show.  Tom Goes to the Mayor at least had its moments.

No, Seinfeld definitely was very bad. The only time it was passable was scenes involving George.

You couldn't be more wrong. It's probably the smartest comedy on American network TV other than Frasier.

Frasier wasn't funny, it was just pathetic. Regardless, being branded "intelligent" doesn't make either show's attempt at comedy any more watchable.

What comedies do you like? My favourites are: Seinfeld, Cheers, Taxi, Fraiser and Curb Your Enthusiasm. You must like some of them at least.

I do like Curb your Enjewsiasm. Mainly because it might as well be based on my grandparents. I also liked Arrested Development. Other than that, I've been known to watch Reno 911, Futurama, the Venture Bros., and The Boondocks. That's about it for shows. I'm more of a stand-up guy.

I agree, I do prefer stand up, but still. I don't understand how people don't like Seinfeld, like, to me anyway, everyone i've known has liked it and it seems to have universal appeal.
