It has an absurdity element like a Tim Robinson bit, but with so damn much heart that you don’t realize it. It’s so good at these singular moments that stick with you, for various reasons.

And yeah, after that milk incident…. I’m changing my prediction lol

I think The Dress Up Gang is a TV show now. I found it on YouTube a long time ago. It's great if you like absurd humor where they add drama to mundane situations.

Born to Bowl is ****ing fantastic. HBO max. Currently at 8.2. The Simonsen story in ep2 is even worse than it’s portrayed. He slept with friends and in the bowling alley from around age 15. Belmont is a bitch and I’m glad they showed it.

Rooster is the funniest show on HBO in years. Definitely Steve Carrells best of his career.

Side thought. What are the best HBO comedies of this century? I'm sure I'm missing some. Hard no to the "hits" I left out so far. Not in order.

Rooster
Vice Principals
Eastbound and Down
Life and Times of Tim
Sopranos
Deadwood
Succession
Barry
Silicon Valley
Curb
Hello Ladies
Summer Heights High

Finished a rewatch of Eastbound And Down last week and will be starting a Vice Principals rewatch tonight. Of all of these, EB&D, Barry and Silicon Valley are my favorites, as far as "sitcoms" go, but like Filthy, Veep is my overall favorite HBO comedy. Deadwood is my favorite HBO show but I wouldn't consider it a comedy at all. Same with Succession, which is probably #2 or #3 on my favorites list.

East Bound and Down is such a good show but Stevie was really hard for me to watch the most recent watch through. Was a caricature of the worst person imaginable but is kind of believable as a person now

Lucky Louie, but it was only on for one season.

I really like Rooster on HBO.

A simple comedy with a easy to follow story, fun characters and an always great Steve Carell.

Stevie, the Indian guy, and Will Ferrell(most overrated comedian ever) are all annoying as ****. McBride carries the show.

I liked East Bound and Down, but can only handle McBride in small doses before he begins to grate.

This. Though it may have transformed (through no intention of its own) into a documentary.

Same. He's funny, but the exact same character in every show he's in.

the parts with white and Pinkman are fantastic, but the parts with the white family are horrible, unwatchable, have to skip over them. so like half of the show is so bad you have to skip over it.

It’s tonally all over the place and relies heavily on pretty stale boomer vs Gen Z cliches. Amazing cast that could do so much more with better writing.

I didn’t like most of the side characters in EB&D while it was airing but on this rewatch, I absolutely loved them and hated Kenny, which I didn’t hate as much live…. Weird lol

The side characters in Eastbound are the 2nd best part of the show. The best part are the bloopers.

Agreed. I think I just wasn’t prepared for the absurdity of them. It’s a show that you sort of have to learn how to watch. Succession was the same for me.
