Canadian in origin, playing on IFC in the states, consistently funny. Strongly reminds me of Kids in the Hall.

I initially avoided this due to my intense distrust of cancon and the barrage of twitter ads but I am finally tempted

IFC has a spectacularly bad comedy show track record but both this and Brockmire are genuinely good!

I like the concepts in some of the individual sketches but the performances seem a little inconsistent? I'll try some full eps at some point.

she plays a friend of el dude brothers from university. she gives jez and super hans a pub that she owns - that super hans wants to call "free the paedos" - and is then sectioned because she's clearly mentally ill.

this show rapidly became unwatchable after the first season btw. my bad.

like a lot of middling sketch comedy, this would probably be well served by a ~40-min. best of, though I only watched the first season and 40 mins might be too long

this happened with Inside Amy Schumer as well, some great bits peppered throughout the early run and then straight into dogshit territory

Even the much more consistent Key & Peele could put together a killer best-of that would be way more worthwhile than watching every episode. I can barely think of any sketch comedy series worth watching in full

Need to get a Netflix acct so I can watch this new Aunty Donna thing, looks v promising

Mr. Show mostly holds up iirc

Mr Show is the one I had most in mind, though there are probably skippable parts of at least S1 before they really get into the complicated episode structures.

limmy's show is the best sketch comedy show of all time imo
