Things I'm loving right now

1) Tim and Eric's Awesome Show, Great Job! on Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network.I love how they write and perform this show knowing that only a small minority of people, myself included, will find it hilarious. I also loved their other show:The episode called Pipe Camp remains one of the single funniest things I have ever seen on television.

2) Snake n Bacon on Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network.
It's new, it's goofy, and it's featuring Peter Serafinowicz, who is the comedy genius behind the show Look Around You. And it also features the third thing I'm loving right now, which is:

3) Comedy goddess Kristen Schaal. I love her on Flight of the Conchords and I loved her when she was on The Daily Show. Note to The Daily Show, bring Kristen back more often and lose that unfunny fat guy you had on last week, seriously, that dude was frighteningly unfunny and it looked like he was about to have a heart attack.

4) This blog. I love the retro feel of it and I love the wild film stills on there.
Goat man rules!

5) This XBox 360 game:

I've been playing Bosconian, Dig Dug Arrangement, and various versions of Pac Man ever since I got it. Finally, an XBox 360 game that doesn't suck. Note to XBox 360 game people, bring the Outlaw Golf and Outlaw Tennis series to the XBox 360 please and don't fuck them up when you do.

6) Delocated.Yes, it's another show on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. A family goes into the witness protection program and then agrees to do a reality show, what's not to love about that premise? I love the main character of "John." He's one of the least self aware TV characters ever. I'm loving the episodes where his son has a Ska style Bar Mitzvah and the one where "John" gets a new girlfriend after his wife leaves him for one of their FBI handlers.

I caught Snake and Bacon. Oddly amusing, but the new Adult Swim cartoon I'm really loving right now is Super Jail. My thoughts as I watch alternate between, "This is the most awesome thing I have ever seen!," and, "I'm definitely going to hell for watching this!"

The Mighty Boosh is hilarious as well. Completely absurd. Sunday's at 1am Eastern, IIRC.

There have been times when I thought our tastes had a weird doppleganger quality, but yet again, we part company.

I like Look Around You. The rest are unbearable for me.

Waiting patiently for the new episodes of The Venture Brothers, avoiding Adult Swim until then.

I have seen absolutely NONE of this, except for that girl from Flight of the Conchords who is funny as hell. (I do want to give her a chin implant though, but that's got nothing to do with how funny she is)
