Stella!

So I'm not sure how many people out there have been watching the new show Stella on Comedy Central, but I think it finally kicked into gear last night. It's definitely a bizarre show; bizarreness that I don't think we've seen since the Strangers With Candy-Upright Citizens Brigade power hour of bizarreness back when I was in college. It stars three The State alumns playing...themselves, I guess, but in a really cracked-out kind of way. The first two weeks were funny, but it was such a unique concept that I don't think I was able to totally wrap my brain around it.

But all the changed last night with the third episode. Maybe it's that I've finally figured out that the show essentially makes no sense, or maybe this was just the best version yet, but I laughed harder than I have at a TV show in a while. So if you haven't seen it yet--and you like crazy comedy--definitely try to catch this week's episode in repeats (it's the Office Party episode). It's nuts.

UPDATE: Looks like this was actually the fifth episode. Gonna have to catch up!

  • It's a brilliant show by a brilliant comic troupe! My friend actually knows David Wain's grandfather and was able to nab a copy of their pitch tape. Very funny...and dirty...but funny, too.

  • Great show, very weird though. It kinda has a feel of a mix between Kids in the Hall and the Mister Show, except suits instead of cross dressing. Another great show is Wonder Showzen on MTV2 funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
