Funniest F'n' Show On TV: Stella

It's goofy, it's stupid, it's absurdist. It's also hysterical.

It's the guys from MTV's good but not great sketch comedy show, The State, and also from one of the funniest movies ever, Wet Hot American Summer. Actually, it's the same sort of comedy, with a lot of the same actors. (And, once in a while, the same bits, too.) Jeneane Garofalo and Paul Rudd from that movie have shown up as guest stars. So has Sam Rockwell, playing the gang's shady dealer of fake moustaches. (They frequently need fake moustaches for their various schemes.)

It's just flat-out silly but I don't think I've laughed as hard or consistently at a show since... well, I don't know when. Since Seinfeld I guess.

It's not for everyone; like Wet Hot American Summer, some think it's hilarious, whereas others think it's just stupid. But check it out on Comedy Central; maybe you'll think it's as funny as I do.
