Great sketch comedy shows?

Whitest Kids You Know (just retarded and irreverent) (good though)

Mr. Show (with aid of weed) and Run Ronnie Run! (and a champagne jam)

Space Ghost Coast to Coast seas. 1 and 3

Chapelle's Show (obviously)

The Mighty Boosh (season 1)

SPACED

Big Train seas. 1 and 2

the Professor Brothers and other Brad Neely stuff



funny but strange sketch narratives like Boondocks, Sarah Silverman, Larry Sanders, CYE, Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman, South Park and a weird gem from over the sea called League of Gentlemen shouldn't be neglected. The above poster is right about Chris Morris stuff. He's a really smart funny man and pushes the envelope as only a lazy intellectual can. Look for his social awareness on subjects such as pedophilia and drug abuse. Apparently there are radio shows he's done as well. He also is on some BBC3/4 shows, but Jam and Brasseye are his best stuff.




I have been checking out SNL seas. 1 and 2 and come up half satisfied. Same for the Richard Pryor Show. I'm more satisfied with some of the old Monty Python stuff, but taht is more for watching with people ultrafamiliar with sketch, Python, and you-- or more, watching by yourself. Same with Benny Hill. might ass the modern sketch Wonder Showzen.


DEFINITELY check out all of Andy Kaufman, Zach Galifiniakis, Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks stand-up. Read Stephen Wright for some hilarious.



screw the State, SCTV, half of every show of Kids in the Hall, most every Family Guy, Madtv, In Living Color, Crank, Tim and Eric, the Goodies. Cartoon Network can be tolerated for what it is in the hopes the product will get better. Morel Oral, Harvey Birdman, Sealab 2021 and Robot Chicken are okay, but not that good overall.
