Curious what my fellow Bob & David fans are watching on tubes these days, of the "cult comedy" variety, to get their sketch comedy (or just alternative comedy) fix?
I was watching "Wonder Showzen" and "Tim & Eric Awesome Show" while they were showing new ones. Not too much more beyond that. Also been re-watching "Arrested Development" on IFC.
Any good suggestions?
a greatshowtro get into, well actor really is chris lilley. he stars as three characters in 2 seperate mockumentary shows for the bbc called Summer Heights High and We Can Be Heros, another genious comedian legend like bob and david.

Everyone should check out CrackedTV and Agents of Cracked over at cracked.com. They're on youtube too.
Does Not Compute is the reboot of CrackedTV but unfortunately it's not that good.

sharecan i change the question too "get their comedy fix?" if i may, then answer this question, I shall. i be watching Tim and Eric(which, in my opinion, is the best show on television these days), Squidbillies, Eagleheart, The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, simpsons & futurama, umm i suppose parks and rec and the office. thats about it, as for shows that are still in productiion.
I remember discovering Mr. Show on HBO back in the day, i was getting hbo for a free weekend promo, and it was the episode were it has the quote "i don't care if his head is in a *beep* fish bowl, just tell me hes alive" in it. and i realized right then, that i was viewing one of the greatest entertainment shows ever.
oh *beep* add Eastbound and Down, to that list above. thats quality comedy as well.

how could i have spaced South Park. i'll tell ya how, way too much medicinal back when i didn't use for medicinal purposes. thats how
venture brothers first couple of seasons were good. but i haven't been digging the direction they are taking it. too much sergeant sandusky i mean hatered and fag *beep* going on. its still worth watching thou, and their is alot of smart comedy going on in them.

I've been watching "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," "Family Guy," & "Bored to Death," a little bit of "Community" here & there, but otherwise, I think TV comedy & movies in general have gone down hill since the 90s. I blame the internet as it forced the media to cater to the LCD.
Mainly I watch "Kids in the Hall," & the old shows I grew up with.

Somebody may have said this already, but Comedy Bang Bang. Stars Scott Aukerman of "It's Insane This Guys Taint" fame amongst other smaller roles.
Also Paul F. Thompkins sows up a couple of times and it's littered with faces from the "alternative" comedy scene.
*edit Also both Bob and David show up at different points.
