Holy crap, I never thought this would happen to me! Also, I apologize.
Wow, nobody cares about this show?

I'll watch it, since I was a fan of The State and kind of enjoyed Stella.
Needs some David Wain

This should have been Stella season 2. I'll still watch though.

i really heart Showalter, Black, Wain. the "Stella" shorts are some of the funniest shit ever produced.
Did Tosh.0 get any pub around here?

I can't recall...it's worth the publicity imo.
Tosh.0 was less funny than DANE COOK

who was actually kinda funny in a 1 scene gag in MYSTERY MEN.
seriously? Tosh.0 was hilarious

virtually every "out and about" sketch worked really well, and the really fast pace was great in the studio segments. it's like they acknowledge that "this shit is funny for 10 seconds at a time", so they just kept doing 10 second jokes over and over. and it works.

I love Michael Ian Black, and Showalter's internet stuff is great, so I'll be watching this for sure.

you NEED to follow Michael Ian Black on Twitter

if you're on twitter, seriously. he is THE funniest comedian on there.

http://twitter.com/michaelianb lack

some sample tweets:

"Fred Travalena is dead. Two D-Listers down, one to go. I've encased myself in a stainless steel cocoon for safety."
"Got a salad at McDonald's, which is like getting a handshake at a whorehouse."
"Early New Year's resolution: less hateful screeds against that motherfucker Tom Hanks."
"Just to clarify - "barely legal" means it's legal, right? What about "almost legal?" "
"Took some strong flu medication yesterday. Woke up with a pentagram tattooed on my forehead."
"Hey England, suck it!" (From Thomas Paine's "On Common Sense.")
"Whenever I am attracted to a woman other than my wife, I halt my desire by thinking these two words: "yeast infection." It always works."
"Upset about Michael Jackson. The 13 yr. old in me still loved him. The 37 yr. old me wanted to see him complete his transformation."

if that shit's not funny to you, you are dead in the brain.

i listened to MIB's "comedy" album
by howlermonkey		Jul 16th, 2009

and i would rather spend every moment of the rest of my life listening to Dane Cook's "Harmful if Swallowed" over and over and over than listen to that black hole of comedy. Michael Ian Black and Showalter, with barely an exception for Wain, remind me of those kids in your high school class that had the improv group and thought they were so funny and unique and the next monty python and all that shit, but in reality were funny to no one but themselves and the small group of social rejects they conned into coming to their shows. oh and fuck STELLA, seriously. 30 minute ego masturbation.
oh, and Tosh.0

the soup does everything it's ever done 100 times better. plus, let's face it, he's no joel mchale.
god damn howlermonkey is cool
by BadMrWonka		Jul 16th, 2009

he just exudes cool. I tried to be cool before, but it was too hard to hate everything that was popular for the sake of being contrary.

also, the hipster jeans were super uncomfortable.

i don't judge anything until i've at least given it a chance. i gave stella two. the first episode was absolutely horrible, but i thought what the heck i'll give it another shot maybe it will get better. it didn't. i really tried to find something funny about it.and i even downloaded MIB's album, giving it a chance, because i sort of remembered him being kind of funny on some VH1 show. just not funny or worthwhile.
Herc finds another reason to mention Stern

in an article that has absolutely nothing to do with him.
It's not as good as The Sarah Silverman Show? So, you're
by Coughlins Laws		Jul 16th, 2009

the one who watches that show. As far as the whole episode about drug jokes being tame if you listen to the scumbag Artie Lange talk about his heroine use on the Stern Show, that's just stupid. So you're saying if you've ever heard a story about rehab you can't laugh at drug jokes? What? That's like saying you can't laugh at any sex jokes on South Park because you just watched Debbie Does Dallas. The point makes ZERO sense to everyone except for you...
Yeah, wasever. Kurt Russel already did it...

...he actually did (kinda) in The Dick Powell Show.

Dude, your diatribe against these brilliant comedians speaks volumes about your stupidity. Fuck you.

Cancelled? Finally seeing the state, Comedy Central ran it all last week...it was ok nothing amazing. Not as good as I was hoping for, Stiller show was better. Now I have to see what the Dana Carvy show was all about.
Stella and MIB's comedy in general

Just seems like a lot of it is very inside. I first found out about him on Ed. I think he works better in small doses, like his Tom Goes To the Mayor episode.
Stella is a perfect television series...
by DanielKurland		Jul 16th, 2009

I could watch it a million times and still be amused. So much of the humor comes from the pitch perfect performances as well.
Everything is funnier than Sarah Silverman.
by Subtitles_Off		Jul 16th, 2009
11:13:52 PM
Even Dane Cook.

Tosh.0 is a waste of Daniel Tosh's talents. Yes, The Soup does it better.

I kind of liked "Michael & Michael." Never laughed out loud once, but it's not that kind of show. I'll tivo it for a couple of weeks and see how it goes.

RENO 911 hasn't been funny for four seasons. (I know no one was talking about RENO 911.)

You know what I miss?

we can disagree about Sarah Silverman, Michael and Michael, etc. etc.

but Reno 911? are you mentally sound? Reno 911 is the 2nd funniest show on television after It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. did you SEE the murder mystery episode? carmen electra and the kid with the huge penis that Travis Jr. takes a picture of? the VCR transfer episode with the old Trudy before she went retarded?

it's as good as it's every been, trust me.

loved the show
by imascooby1985		Jul 18th, 2009

But Im also the guy who watched each episode of Stella repeatedly on DVD and even watched every episode with the commentary on on more that one occasion. I just love these guys, so to me there is nothing better than seeing these two get into a shirtless fight without ever really connecting a single blow.
how many times is comedy central going to give these losers show

save the money so we can have the real fucking bender!
I give it four episodes

Some...I mean...most people don't understand these guys comedy. They must be able to pitch like wizards cuz they constantly get shows.
