Strike Back is mindless violence and gorgeous tits. What not to love?

I don't know how i missed this before, as its been around 15+ years. I've been binge watching it, pissing myself.

Started Outcast. I believe I watched a few episodes when it came out, but didn't grab me then. It's solid? I will give it a few more and see where it goes. I like the idea of it; but there are some actors and things about it that aren't really tripping my trigger so far.

I downloaded season 1 to give it a look to see what the fuss is about.

Which one? We're almost at the end of what's available for Warrior. Sucks because I have a feeling it's going to go out for now on a cliffhanger![]()

I think I've seen this one. On PBS late night years agoIf it's what I am remembering; there was an episode where the one old man wants to get a new apartment. There's a death in the other guys building so he invites him over to the funeral to "pay his respects" but is basically just there to look at the apartment. It was hilarious. I need to dig it up as I only caught an episode or two but had a great laugh with it

On another comedic note and speaking of p!ssing myself; Chappelle Show is on Netflix. It's the funniest thing ever made. I love when he came back to stand up. He brought such a great perspective and just next level of awareness. I wouldn't ever want that to go away. But the Chappelle Show is all hilarious on a purely visceral level. I literally laugh the whole g*dd@mned time. He isn't jaded or as (justifiably) disappointed in the world as he is now. And for good reason. We need his voice as it is now. But for pure sh!t your pants laughter; the original series is absolutely peerless in my eyes.

Yes, that's the one, that's the 1st episode, it gets better too.

I didn't know if you were referring to Warrior or Outcast![]()
My vote goes to Warrior between the two. By a mile, so far.

JiveTurkey wrote:^I do like Letterman in general. Chappelle is always too deep for most rooms anymore. But that's a good thing, overall. The Chappelle episode was great as was the Robert Downey episode. Letterman gets a little too woke for my taste in spots when he doesn't need to. I will absolutely not watch anything with any Kardashian in it. I just can't.
As far as dumb(er) standup goes; we watched the latest Kevin Hart special. I really dug the shit out of his first few specials. Then he got a little too big and hit that tipping point where he's just too fucking rich and out of touch with everyone else' reality to stay funny. This latest special was great. Small setting and oddly enough; while talking about things only uber-rich priveledged people have to deal with; did it in a relatable and self-deprecating way that worked great. Highly recommended.
We watched the first few episodes of Goldbergs S8 and I know it's been absolute cookie cutter for years but GODDAMN were you right. The same. Damn. Thing. Every. Fucking. Time. A little bit of snide and nihlism would go a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way in this show FFS. Everything doesn't have to always wrap up with a fucking group hug after 23 minutes. JFC.
Been watching more of Still Game and you definitely need those subsbut it's great

I've got to disagree with Kevin Hart. I tried to watch it and the Chris Rock special and they both failed the 10 minute test, though Hart actually made it a little further. They just repeat the same thing over and over again to try and milk a point to make it funnier, but they're not really that funny to begin with so it seems like stalling to me. I guess I'm getting used to that Chappelle pace and nobody can match it to the point where I have a hard time enjoying it.
