Funny things are on TV

ucking finally there are some funny things on TV! I discovered this yesterday while very, very hungover in bed, and I couldnt be more delighted! Even SNL has some recent funny stuff. Allow me to share with you my findings:

The first is a show on the FX Network called Archer. Its an animated series about double-crossing spies and it is FUCKING. HILARIOUS. Seriously, watch it and thank me later.

The second is a new series on HBO that Ive been excited about for a while called The Ricky Gervais Show. If you didnt already know, Ricky Gervais is the creator of The Office, he wrote and starred in The Invention of Lying, does excellent stand-up, and is basically the funniest man alive. His show is an animates series of conversations between himself, Stephen Merchant (Co-creator, co-writer and co-director of The Office) and Karl Pilkington (a producer of a radio show Ricky and Stephen used to do) that are absolutely hilarious. Apparently, the three did a series of podcasts which were the same format - just random conversations between the three of them - and had record-breaking downloads. So, HBO offered them their own show. And thank bejesus for that.

Third - also on HBO - is Funny or Die Presents. Honesty, there have only been two episodes aired so far, and the ratio of really funny stuff to not very funny stuff is on the unfavorable side, but I bring the show up because of one particularly hilarious sketch called Drunk History. I couldnt find a link to the entire sketch, but if you can manage to find it and watch it, or if you have HBO OnDemand, definitely watch the first episode if only for this one awesome sketch.

Well kids, I gotta get to class.

X's and O's.
