   Do you know the Upright Citizens Brigade?
  Just wondering how popular that humor TV series was. My friend Kurt showed me some episodes about a year ago and I found it very amusing. To my knowledge it hasn't been televised in Canada, although it could appeal to alot of people as the humor is mostly absurd and not overly contextualized. The show is mostly about small sketches.For those that don't know the show. Each episode is about a specific theme, and has sketches that range from a few seconds to a few minutes, but that are all joined together in a sequence of events. There are alot of inside jokes and the humor can be very very very absurd. Characters from past episodes will occasionally pop in, for very absurd reasons.Just a warning though, some of you might find this type of humor quite offensive. The very religious types may not like the contents of some episodes (spaghetti jesus episode comes to mind). On a scale of offensiveness from 1 to 10, where 1 is some cooking show and 10 is south park, UCB gets at least 7 or 8.A few sample clips from YouTube:">Ninja Press Conference">Board Meeting">The Ultimate Weapon">The Secret: How to Get RichMerchandise:Baby's First Throwing Star[Edited by - Max_Payne on May 22, 2006 11:32:42 AM]

Almost one year ago, we happened to be in the L.A. area and saw their ASSSSCAT show in Hollywood (right next to the big Scientology center). Brilliant performance.The downside is that quoting the show makes my mom and sister rather irate. Ya win some, ya loose some.

Great show.   ;  Sketch comedy at its finest.  :)    If you enjoy this type of comedy then I would recommend its precursor, 'Kids in the Hall', for your viewing pleasure.   ;  First item on our grocery list at all times: A Bucket Of Truth   ;  I thought they were retarded......and I mean that literally   ;Quote:Original post by capn_midnightI thought they were retarded......and I mean that literallyThe contents of the comedic outout of the show is largely satirical.  You cannot take the premise of the show literally and get anything out of it.   ;  I only remember the episode where some guy (playing a kid) has an abnormally huge penis.   ;Quote:Original post by SalsaI only remember the episode where some guy (playing a kid) has an abnormally huge penis.Actually, that was a documentary about my early childhood...;Quote:Original post by SalsaI only remember the episode where some guy (playing a kid) has an abnormally huge penis.He had magnimus-obliviophallocytis
