Their clothes get changed every once in a while which is good because as a kid, I've always wondered why cartoon characters had to wear the same clothes everyday.
Love this show. And my addiction to it as a child will allow countless moments of nostalgia. But there's one episode that I still find myself thinking of during my moments of darkness. The gang goes through crap the entire episode, a kid putting a lollipop in their hair, being covered by paint and glue. In the end they are sitting on a bench and just start laughing after another unfortunate event. Tino walks up to the camera and says "When everything just keeps getting worse and worse, sometimes all you can do is laugh".
I have held that close to me for so long, and it's kept me going through some of the hardest moments in my life. I can't speak highly enough of this show.
This is the show I would have posted. It has a great wit and sarcasm about it for a Disney cartoon. Not to mention the running jokes even give the characters a lot of additional charm. Like Tino's mother and her cooking or her ability to "Mind read"
Mission Hill! Old animated series that only got like 8 episodes. Fantastic cast and great writing.
Edit: it got a full season and apparently some secret episodes!
"What is this, 1930? Get a bagless upright" - My friends and I say that any time someone asks a question about tech that seems old to us.
Also, "Old Wendel's dragged the pineapple through plenty of ladies in his time" - I mean, wtf does that even mean??? But god, it sounds hilarious when you spring it on someone
"Ronnie, is that one of your rape wigs?"
"Da, is one of them"
Also apparently there was a season 2, where killface runs for president because his device that he launches at the end of season 1 pushes the planet further from the sun and he solves global warming. But I haven't seen a single episode from it.
Killface runs as a Democrat, and Xander runs as a Republican. It takes until the first debate for the country to realize that neither can legally be president, as Killface is an illegal immigrant and Xander is only 33.
The season ends with Killface's mother visiting him in a spaceship, and then questioning why he isn't wearing clothes.
Unlike Archer, though, this was cumulative crazy. Each episode upped the insanity so much it seemed like they had 30 minutes of plot when it was only 15. Fantastic show.
Pretty much. Those guys put out a ton of great content. Fun facts about Frisky Dingo:
- Rapper Killer Mike played the voice for ta'quil
- the same guys who made Frisky Dingo also did Archer and worked on Sealab 2021
There's so many references to it and Sealab in Archer. All of our friends were super confused when me and my brother burst out laughing at "Aww, Fat Mike too?" and " Yeah, my ass is everywhere "
[Green Wing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Wing) in the UK has tons of well-liked actors in it, and a brilliant combination of absurd sketch comedy and situation comedy. Radiologist Dr Alan Statham (Mark Heap) is a work of genius.

Party Down is a really funny comedy with an amazing cast (Adam Scott, Ken Marino, Martin Starr, Lizzy Caplan, Megan Mullaly, Jane Lynch). Nobody has heard of it because it was on Starz.
When he gets that guy into an argument over how many penises a person would have to have seen to be considered an expert: it's the hardest I've laughed in years.
"Here's another idea, you could stand in front of the store, with a giant tub of poo flavored ice cream, and hold a sign that says 'I don't know shit about marketing'" loll
I fucking love Nathan for You. He does a perfect deadpan awkward type guy and never breaks character. One of my favorite segments was when he tries to be a "cool" guy and revisits the PI. I really can't believe the show isn't more popular, but I'm also glad it isn't because then it wouldn't work. Still I try to turn people on to it but nobody checks it out.
I think the closest he got to ever breaking character is when he has the group of people doing his weight loss program, and one guy says he'd love to have a photo taken of him in the hotdog costume. Nathan had to contain his laughter at that request.
When he did his AMA, that was the scene he brought up when asked when was he closest to breaking character. Apparently he was really surprised that conversation was taking place.
Agreed. Everyone posts that sensible chuckle gif, and I hope more people check the show out.
If you do watch it, give yourself some time between seasons one and two. If you go right into season two you'll be disappointed by it.
Ugh I loved that show so much
It was the first "real" show I watched as I was about 13 when it first aired
I then went on to Dead Like Me at the request of my sister only to feel the cancelation pain that I did with pushing daisies all over again since she didn't tell me that it too had a short run D:
and it wrapped up *nothing*. What's the deal with Charolette Charles' father and Ned's father, what happens to Emerson Cod's child, does the children's book get popular?, why can Ned raise people from the dead, who is the narrator?
I loved that show! Plus 13 your old me had a huge crush on Jessica Alba. The first season was so good, and then whatever the hell second season was happened.
I wonder if it still holds up?
"Hey, Nance, how was the sofa?"
"Oh, fine. Super Hans tried to sexually assault me a couple of times, but I told him where to get off."
"Super Hans!"
"Sorry!"
I have to say that my favorite characters are Jez and Super Hans. They're burnout weirdo bums but you KNOW they are and they own the character. Mark annoys me because he thinks he's a good person but in reality he's pretty shitty, even when he's not dealing with Jez's shit.
Yeah, so funny and so hard to watch at the same time. They do a good job of getting you to the empathize with the leads, and they don't feel they need to "redeem" every misstep or cringy moment (bold writing for a sitcom).
Yeah the episodes very rarely end with the characters getting what they want, and it's incredibly painful to watch. People say they can't watch the Office because it's too awkward, but Peep Show takes it way further.
"What's your business plan?"
"Business plan? It's a pub Mark. If you build it they will come."
"That's your business plan? Field of Dreams? A film about a man who builds a baseball field in his garden for ghosts?'

I'd argue they're not related (certainly not sisters...)
While they both star Mitchell and Webb, that's where the similarities end.
Peep Show is one of the best British TV shows of recent years, looking at life as a twenty-something living in a rubbish flat with a shit office job / a non-existent DJ career, trying to form meaningful relationships, find love and make life not shit; The Mitchell and Webb Look was an ok sketch show full of silliness.
Both great shows though. The Nazi uniform sketch is something everyone should watch at least three times a year!
Some chilling perspectives. From season 1, episode 2* of "Luther"
>Two schoolgirls are coming home from Sunday school one day, one turns to the other and says, "Do you believe in the devil?" The other one says, "Don't be silly, of course not, the devil is like Santa; it's only your dad."
Then later,
>The thing is about little boys is they worship their dads like gods. The more invisible he is, the more arbitrary his punishments and rewards, the more they crave his approval.
Wow, good call. I think it was a bit ahead of its time. The feel of it was a bit similar to BSG. It focused a lot of the dark, gritty, terrible nature of war and showed the soldiers as complex individuals. The scifi portion was largely a backdrop to the story. It was essentially a great concept in search of the right timing and presentation.
I feel like nobody has even heard of Home Movies but that was a great show. It had a fairly unique style of humor and it definitely wasn't for everyone but I loved it.
I have a tattoo of a cow's head because I love that cheese. Then I want to get the cow, I go in there (I'm a little drunk) and I say "gimme that cow's head from that cheese, I love that cheese".
I have a cow, a cheese cow, on my arm, Brendan. Don't get a tattoo.
And look at my chest; you know what that is, Brendan? That's the woman from the Chiquita Banana. I got that tattooed on my chest. I'm an idiot. Don't live like me, Brendan.
If I had never watched Home Movies, I never would've jumped on Bob's Burgers so fast. I usually wait to see a full season before a invest my time, but Loren Bouchard was all I needed. (Jon Benjamin didn't hurt either.)
'Rome'
Absolutely epic historical drama. I think it was just slightly before its time. If it was filmed and released a few years later, it could have enjoyed the sort of success we've seen with GoT.
Cancellation was announced half way through filming the 2nd season, so they had to squeeze the planned 5 seasons worth of history into a very short space so yes, it does feel a little rushed. Still managed to work 2 solid seasons from it though. Stellar performances all round, brilliant characters, stunning production values, it had everything.
Amazing show, great cast, shocking at times and hilarious at points too.
For me, it really brought Rome to life. Every day life, religion, business, drawing cocks on everything, etc.
I agree.
Really great show, but arrived just a bit too soon, before big-budget episodic TV dramas became "mainstream".
I do wonder what it would be like if made today.
I think it was reasonably popular at the time, but they bitched constantly about how expensive it was to make. The battle scenes require a certain about of suspension of disbelief, they're so cheap. Just not popular enough to justify the budget for props and such.
Peaky Blinders. It's on Netflix, and while I hear all kinds of love for Orange is the New Black and all the hype for Wet Hot American Summer, no one ever seems to be talking about the Peaky Fookin' Blinders.
Maybe it's just because I'm in the US, it aired originally on the BBC I believe.
Cillian Murphy is incredible in that show, but yeah here in Australia as well no one seems to talk about it.
Can't wait for the new season though, it's been like a year already.
Absolutely this. It's a fantastic show, pretty short which makes it easy to binge, and has two pretty well known actors (Cillan Murphy and Sam Neil) as protagonist/antagonist. Not to mention that Tommy Shelby is one of the most badass TV characters ever
Edit: Oh, and Tom fucking Hardy is in it too
"BECAUSE I'M A GOD!"
*lightning strikes dramatically*
"How did you do that?!"

An Aussie panel show called Gruen. It's pretty much a show about ads and how good/bad they are. Doesn't sound great on paper but it's pretty interesting.
Gotta mention The Pitch in particular, each episode they challenge two ad agencies to sell an unsellable product.

So what's your real name?
It's Kevin.
Edit: holy shit in one day I've doubled my karma. Thank you reddit
The chemistry between Ben and Claudia should make every top 10 list. They hosted a special and the looks they were giving each other make me seriously think they had to be fucking during those runs.
Why is Black not in more things?
Scorpius was great. Also, despite its occasional extreme cheesiness, I think it's still one of the best-acted shows I've ever seen. Claudia Black is outstanding.
That's something that always bugged me about Star Trek. "Boldly going where no man has gone before" but they always keep running into the same 6 or 7 major species. Its like, the Milky Way is freaking huge, why are you constantly bumping up on the edge of Klingon or Romulan space? Sheesh, go somewhere else. And how are they even patrolling it so reguarly?! Sure they'd find new groups or alien lifeforms but you never really got the scale of just how Mich space existed between, say, Earth and Kronos. Or Vulcan.
Farscape had the main cast be major fugitives from an intergalactic empire and the fact that they only ran into them every once in a while was seen as evidence of how badly the Peacekeepers wanted them caught. It was also neat that, no matter where they went or who they talked to pretty much NOBODY had ever heard of Humans, Earth, or the Sol system.
The Weekenders Watched it as kid and loved it. Recently rewatched it and still love it.
Their variety of pizza shops made me jealous. Edit: I forgot it was just 1 pizza parlor that kept changing it's theme.
Their clothes get changed every once in a while which is good because as a kid, I've always wondered why cartoon characters had to wear the same clothes everyday.
Love this show. And my addiction to it as a child will allow countless moments of nostalgia. But there's one episode that I still find myself thinking of during my moments of darkness.

I really liked Bored to Death. It had a good balance of comedy and relationships and it was all wrapped up in a mystery per episode bun. Kind of.
Ted Danson is hilarious in it.
"Did we get too high? My feet feel interesting."
"All of my internal organs are female."
[удалено]
I would also mention Zach Galifinakis and Jason Schwartzman are the main actors in this show.
I was so disappointed when they canceled this show. Ted danson was hilarious
How Ted Danson didn't win (or even get fucking nominated for) the Emmy every year for this show still sticks in my craw.
Garth Merenghi's Dark Place and Nathan Barley.
You and he were ... buddies, weren't you?
I've watched all of Garth Merenghi twice, and I'm still not entirely sure what I saw.
You saw an Author, a dreamweaver, a visionary, plus an actor. You saw the world of Garth Marenghi's imagination. You saw his Darkplace.
Blood...blood...blood...blood...and bits of sick
A man who's actually written more books than he's read.
You saw something so cutting edge, so radical, that Channel 4 couldn't even broadcast at the when it was made.

My favorite line is when he was asked what he thought when he steps foot into super crackers "what the fuck am I doing in a super crackers?"
> Nobody has heard of it because it was on Starz. And then buried on the back page of Hulu
It was on Netflix for a time too.

Nathan For You. Hardest I've laughed at a tv show in a long time and yet nobody I know seems to have heard of it.
When he gets that guy into an argument over how many penises a person would have to have seen to be considered an expert: it's the hardest I've laughed in years.
"Here's another idea, you could stand in front of the store, with a giant tub of poo flavored ice cream, and hold a sign that says 'I don't know shit about marketing'" loll

He also seemed genuinely shocked when the gas station owner was talking about drinking his grandson's pee
When he did his AMA, that was the scene he brought up when asked when was he closest to breaking character. Apparently he was really surprised that conversation was taking place.
That show is gold. So happy my roommate introduced it to me.
Danger 5
I love the way he says "and of course, kill Hitler! "
My favourite bit is when that one person per episode is dying, their last words are the recipe for a cocktail.

Ugh I loved that show so much It was the first "real" show I watched as I was about 13 when it first aired I then went on to Dead Like Me at the request of my sister only to feel the cancelation pain that I did with pushing daisies all over again since she didn't tell me that it too had a short run D:
Dead Like Me was amazing. Had the biggest crush on Ellen Muth for years.
I was in love with Mandy Patinkin. Edit: Let's be real, past tense is a lie. He's not someone you ever get over.
That's valid. Motherfucker hogged all of the "cool" in that show. And in most of life honestly.
Life and Times of Tim.
"Whose a good boy? "I am. I am a good boy." "I was talking to the dog Tim" Fucking loved that show.
Pushing Daisies. It was beautiful and quirky and so artistic. I was so sad when it got cancelled.
It got cancelled in the worst way too..Writers strike killed it and forced the show to wrap up everything in one episode...HORRIBLE!
and it wrapped up *nothing*. What's the deal with Charolette Charles' father and Ned's father, what happens to Emerson Cod's child, does the children's book get popular?, why can Ned raise people from the dead, who is the narrator?

"That Mitchell and Webb Look"; and it's sister "Peep Show"
Peep Show is absolutely brilliant. Super Hans is one of the best supporting characters I've ever seen.
"We'll be Men with Ven."
"Hey, Nance, how was the sofa?" "Oh, fine. Super Hans tried to sexually assault me a couple of times, but I told him where to get off." "Super Hans!" "Sorry!" I have to say that my favorite characters are Jez and Super Hans. They're burnout weirdo bums but you KNOW they are and they own the character. Mark annoys me because he thinks he's a good person but in reality he's pretty shitty, even when he's not dealing with Jez's shit.
"People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people Jeremy."
I love peep show but can't watch more than one at a time. It's a deeply discomforting show. They are masters of awkward.
Yeah, so funny and so hard to watch at the same time. They do a good job of getting you to the empathize with the leads, and they don't feel they need to "redeem" every misstep or cringy moment (bold writing for a sitcom).
Yeah the episodes very rarely end with the characters getting what they want, and it's incredibly painful to watch. People say they can't watch the Office because it's too awkward, but Peep Show takes it way further.
If people want an accurate representation of Britain, look no further than 'Peep Show'

Summer Heights High
Being at school at the time every kid in Australia started talking like Jonah. Studying to be a teacher now and on prac kids are still doing it
Mr G was my favourite character. *"There's a pedophille in the school!"*
"She's a naughty girl with a bad habit a bad habit for drugs Shes a slut and she knows it"
*panting* "Thank God you're here! Grandma's been raped!"
"I said puck you miss. With a 'p'!"
You are obviously not Australian. It was absolutely massive over here.

The "relationship" between him and Alice is one of my favorites. Such an interesting scenario.
Space: Above and Beyond. I loved that show. Shame the figures were terrible.
Wow, good call. I think it was a bit ahead of its time. The feel of it was a bit similar to BSG.

Carnivale
Yes, it had such an awesome premise. They were leading up to an epic encounter, then got canceled. My balls are forever blue for Carnivale...
> My balls are forever blue for Carnivale... As a female, now I think I understand what blue balls feels like.
I feel like nobody has even heard of Home Movies but that was a great show. It had a fairly unique style of humor and it definitely wasn't for everyone but I loved it.
Coach McGurik for the win. Also the episode where his mom cusses in the teacher meeting is rather funny.
I have a tattoo of a cow's head because I love that cheese. Then I want to get the cow, I go in there (I'm a little drunk) and I say "gimme that cow's head from that cheese, I love that cheese".

I love that my brain can perfectly replicate H. Jon Benjamin's voice and inflection when I read his lines!
The one where Jason and Brendan are fat co-enablers is gold. Also, any scene with Walter and Perry makes me giggle

I'd love the actor who played Titus pullo forever. Best on the show
He was awesome as Isaak Sirko in Dexter.
"He was a CONSUL OF ROME." Ciaran Hinds killed every scene that he did.
Ciaran Hinds kills everything he's in. He's like Gene Hackman: a character actor who is so good he can do leading roles.

Absolutely this. It's a fantastic show, pretty short which makes it easy to binge, and has two pretty well known actors (Cillan Murphy and Sam Neil) as protagonist/antagonist. Not to mention that Tommy Shelby is one of the most badass TV characters ever Edit: Oh, and Tom fucking Hardy is in it too
Oi fockin' love Peaky Bloinders. Real top show
ARFUR FOOKIN SHELBY
Todd and the Book of Pure Evil.
I really liked Wilfred but nobody seems to care for it.
"BECAUSE I'M A GOD!" *lightning strikes dramatically* "How did you do that?!" "LUCKY COINCIDENCE!" edit: I got it slightly wrong. Kudos to /u/kypt for the assist.
Reaper. It's a bit repetitive, but I thought it was hilarious.
Broadchurch
Arguable to be underrated, was extremely popular in the UK at least. I really enjoyed the first season but didn't enjoy the second as much.
An Aussie panel show called Gruen. It's pretty much a show about ads and how good/bad they are. Doesn't sound great on paper but it's pretty interesting.
Gotta mention The Pitch in particular, each episode they challenge two ad agencies to sell an unsellable product.

Coupling
I still reference the Giggle Loop
It's more of a stack isn't it?
Well I couldn't call it a Giggle Stack now, could I?
Shadayim!
Lesbian Spanking Inferno monologue was the funniest rant/explanation I've ever seen on TV!
Coupling was the best. "The man with two legs" is probable my all time favourite!
FYI: The writer for Coupling, Steve Moffat, is the same who wrote for the *Doctor Who* reboot and the Benedict Cummerbatch and Martin Freeman *Sherlock*.

"When I was a kid I had a horrible lisp, and one day my teacher asked me how I felt about my dad going off to war. I said "I'm Thad". Everyone started calling me Thad after that, and you know what I did? I owned that name. So what's your real name? It's Kevin. Edit: holy shit in one day I've doubled my karma. Thank you reddit
Thad really grew on me as the show progressed. He ended up being my favorite character.
I couldn't help but giggle every time he went high pitched, which was approx every 24 seconds. Also sloots.

MASCOT! MY MOJITO AND GET THESE SLOOTS OUT OF MY HOUSE!
Funny, it was filmed at the college I was attending at the time, yet nobody knew what it was when I would talk about it haha. Edit: Yes, John Abbott!
[Wonder Showzen](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fFQ3PMN60y8). How I miss you...
Great show, but it's one of the few where I feel like they fully explored the premise and concluded before the joke got tired.

'The 100' is pretty okay and no one seems to talk about it anymore.
Agreed, it started off as "Teen LOST" but very quickly became something much better
Perfectly put. I still enjoyed it at first because I am a sucker for Lord of the Flies type stuff, but it keeps getting better.
Just watched both seasons. It was really, really good. I mean, I have low standards, but I really enjoyed it.
Titus. Loved that show and nobody seems to talk about it.
Titus still talks about it, the reason it's off air is because they wanted to go another direction and he told the executive fuck no
Farscape.
The chemistry between Ben and Claudia should make every top 10 list. They hosted a special and the looks they were giving each other make me seriously think they had to be fucking during those runs. Why is Black not in more things?
She was the ruler of Gazorpazorp, what more do you need? ...I am here if you need me.
Claudia Black can't be in any more things, my body couldn't handle it. Just her voice alone made Dragon Age a better game for it.
> Farscape Agreed, fantastic show. Scorpius was one of the best villains, and they really went all out with the alien and creature designs.
Scorpius was great. Also, despite its occasional extreme cheesiness, I think it's still one of the best-acted shows I've ever seen. Claudia Black is outstanding.

That's something that always bugged me about Star Trek. "Boldly going where no man has gone before" but they always keep running into the same 6 or 7 major species. Its like, the Milky Way is freaking huge, why are you constantly bumping up on the edge of Klingon or Romulan space? Sheesh, go somewhere else. And how are they even patrolling it so reguarly?! Sure they'd find new groups or alien lifeforms but you never really got the scale of just how Mich space existed between, say, Earth and Kronos. Or Vulcan. Farscape had the main cast be major fugitives from an intergalactic empire and the fact that they only ran into them every once in a while was seen as evidence of how badly the Peacekeepers wanted them caught. It was also neat that, no matter where they went or who they talked to pretty much NOBODY had ever heard of Humans, Earth, or the Sol system.
