IT'S STILL SUNNY!

Community has been killing it lately.  30 Rock seems like they're on cruise control, and Parks and Rec is in purgatory, Running Wilde is moments from death, so by default it's the best comedy on tv right now.

Modern Family would like to have a word with you.

"Disabled interracial lesbians with an African kicker?  Did not see that coming."

Community and Modern Family are both firing on all cylinders right now.

30 Rock is funny, but sort of the same way Family Guy is now. It's completely out of left field, and hilarious, but not nearly as well done as before. Alex Baldwin's corrupt cop on the phone routine last week almost killed me, but other than that it was just sillyness.

The Office is struggling to even be awkward now in funny ways, which was always the reason I watched it. Kind of depressing.


Has anyone given Outsourced a chance? Is it funny at all? I see the opening gags at the end of my DVR of The Office, and they're pretty decent, but haven't watched a whole episode yet.

If you're not watching The League, then you should be.  It often manages to make me cry laughing more than It's Always Sunny, which to me is the funniest show on TV.

Outsourced can be amusing, but it's basically any old sitcom with the twist that they can make racially charged jokes because it's Indians stereotyping a white guy.  I'm not bitching about that, far from it, but it's still lazy comedy so I doubt Outsourced is long for this world.

Speaking of cruel stereotyping, I was forced to watch a couple of episodes of Big Bang Theory on an airplane and it was pretty funny.  It seemed to lack East Asians though.

Expanding on your point, Funny by Numbers.

Big Bang is my favorite sitcom right now.  Someone youtube the rock paper scissors clip and/or the awards banquet for me.  Jim Parsons went to Klein Oak, btw

Also, Community's zombie show for  Halloween was excellent

Agree, although nothing tops last year's paintball episode.

That was the best 30 minutes of comedy since Arrested Development.

Also, Conan's opening skit was pretty awesome, too.

I squirmed through last week's The Christening episode.  The awkward used to be funny, but it's only depressing now.  It's impossible to like any character.

So it's becoming the British version?

I just started watching it. That should tell you it has jumped the shark already.

[Bench]

So it's becoming the British version?

But without the satire.

[Guinness]

So it's becoming the British version?

The British version succeeds because any given office there is not really that different than the one portrayed on tv.  It's almost a documentary rather than a comedy show.

Kevin and Creed are the only characters that consistantly make me laugh anymore. And they each have about .5 seconds an episiode.


"FUCK YOU, Gabe!"

I guess I simply have no sense of humor at all.

You're pretty funny when you get angry.

So chuck has no sense of humor but is always funny.  I don't think anyone can argue with that.
