I also really like Stella (Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter and David Wain)

All 3 members of The State. Your average comedy fan today would instantly recognize 9 of the 11 members for their post-The State work.

I have no idea if anyone is serious in this thread but I am and I like Maria Bamford and Patton Oswalt a lot.

Maria Bamford

I passed out during the last 30 minutes of SNL on saturday night and woke up at 12:40 with the TV still on. When I woke up some stand-up variety show was showing Maria Bamford. I was pleasantly surprised.

Seen Wanderlust yet? Lots of The State alums in it (of course, Wain film). Marino, Kenney, and lots of Lo Truglio in addition to the Stellites. No Lennon or Garant, though. They're probably off writing another screenplay for $$$$.

Really hoping this is as good as the previews.

Truely one of the greatest shows ever.

It's a profo, dad! I put it on my dinkus when I wanna have seeeexxxxxxxxxx.

Wanderlust is very funny. Not Wet Hot American Summer funny, but then what is? Wanderlust is as funny as a movie can be that features so many Wet Hot people while still featuring Jennifer Anniston, who is decidedly unfunny but hot. See it.

At least once a week I say "I wanna dip my balls in it" and "There is only 2 ways out of this prison: 1) is dead in a pine box and 2) through that open gate that leads you to the highway that takes you to Dallas. Let's consider that gate 'off limits'."

Call me old fashioned, but I believe there is only one god...and he lives in this lake...and his name is Zorgo.

Call me old fashioned, but I think that fire is magic...and it scares me a lot.

(Mods, can we just take out all The State posts in this thread and make it it's own thread, move it into the "shows by vag" thread, or start an "old shows that still have you by the vag" thread)

That Charlie Murphy fella is fantastic. I mean at first I was all like "this guy is just trying to make a quick buck off his brothers name and an amusing situation involving his couch.". However after giving him a chance I now believe that comic genius must be genetic.
