This show is MY jam!

Nothing beats the feeling of finding a lost gem everyone but a select few managed to like and yet it feels like it was made for you.I love every single bit of this show.
The wordplay,the subtle social critique,the alienation from structure,the absurdization of life's questions,the music,the imagery and the cheeky jokes that are yet placed in a sphere that is much more experienced than most comedy shows that make it to mainstream.

The thing is,it's hard to put it objectively why you like this.As cliché as it sounds,you either get it or you don't get it. And naturally, shows with such a selected audience don't last too long.

i know right!

totally agree that the show feels like it was made for us!

they say its the smartest show in the world wrapped in the dumbest show in the world - the perfect mix of zaniness and intelligence :)

I am so thankful for finding this show!! Downloaded it, watched all episodes back to back three times in a row, and ordered the DVD promplty thereafter. Plan on watching it again in a week or so.

It's like... EXACTLY my humor. The silly-but-inteliigent wordplay and bizarre pop culture references, mixed in with actual philosophical inquiries disguised as satirical "guru stereotype lingo".

I also LOVE the horrendous CGI because it creates an "uncanny valley" effect about the characters and an alienation that I am fascinated with, and also it reminds me of those comedy clips people used to make with Garry's mod and those consumer-level CGI movie making apps that I completely forget what it's called.

I also think it's deliciously unpredictable, in its momentum, as the characters behave fairly unorthodox.
