I love me some Kenny Powers, but I think The League is better.

And I ******* LOVED this Community episode. When they were remembering Joshua after realizing he was racist.. he had the tattoo on his chest and goes "It's going to be a maze!".. I lost it.

Pierce is talking to Leonard saying "Ok, enhance that.. enhance it.. enhance it.." only to show that it's a how to get pictures off your spy camera, so good.

And yes, Troy and Abed in the MOOORNING is genius.

Yep. I loved last night's Community as well. Chang was hilarious on top of what's already been mentioned.

FlyingElvis · 11-05-2010, 12:35 PM

Haven't watched anything from last night except the league . . .

It's definitely getting better each week as it rolls on. Last night was a riot.

The Bears tickets / handjob & fear boner stuff was funny, but I think Taco's western medicine stuff was the best part of the episode.

The League is so damn funny because its so relatable. I have harrassed several of my friends for many of the same things they ridicule each other for a few times. Its good stuff.

IASIP had me in stitches last night as well. Charlie is so ******* funny.

Charlie needs his own spin off. He is epic.

I was almost crying at the final shot where he just turned and walked away with the floor waxer. He's far and away the funniest character on TV if you were to ask me.

I dunno. I'd have to think about that. Abed is pretty damn epic on Community.

Agreed, nobody beats Charlie. His high pitch voice when he yells is what puts him over the top for me.

Coming on strong for me is Ruxin. Perfect asshole character.

Dr. Gonzo · 11-05-2010, 01:50 PM

Charlie is my boy. He makes me lauh out loud more than any TV character ever has (save maybe GOB and Tobias).

GOB! I don't think anyone made me laugh more than Gob.

Well if we're talking non-current shows, it's a fact of life that there is nobody funnier than this man.

Hahaha. Love that show.

Pffft he isn't even the funniest man on his own show. That honor goes to

Pre-racism of course.

I feel like his meltdown was the funniest thing he ever did (not a knock on him).

I'm sorry but if you think Kramer is funnier than George than you just suck at life.

Says the guy who claims George is the funniest character in television history. I think he is hilarious and a I a huge fan of Larry David who he is based on but saying Kramer>George is no more dumb than saying George>all

Giantsfan1080 · 11-05-2010, 02:28 PM

George and Kramer were both great in their own right. As for funniest characters now Charlie, Abed, Ruxin & Taco, Shawn & Gus, Tom and Ron from Parks, Larry David, are all up there.

Yea, well that's your opinion. To me, Seinfeld is the greatest show of all time. It just pains me when people find slapstick Kramer to be way funnier than George.

Haha Kramer's schemes are what I find the funniest, not the kinetic comedy his character brings. I also like how after telling me I suck at life, you come back and use the good old "Well, thats your opinion! Nah Nah Nah!"

Good show sir.

BuckNaked · 11-05-2010, 03:29 PM

Personally, I'll side with the George is a funnier character team.

nepg · 11-05-2010, 03:44 PM

George made Seinfeld work. He was the glue. The difference between George and Kramer is that Kramer was there for cheap laughs from his eccentric lifestyle. George was there for good laughs from a lifestyle that the audience can relate to. Without George and Jerry, Kramer doesn't work.

Dr. Gonzo · 11-05-2010, 03:45 PM

**** Jerry.

I am about two minutes into The League. The Nosferatu campaign joke is ******* genius.

Giantsfan1080 · 11-05-2010, 03:46 PM

It was amazing when Larry David played George last year on Curb.

One of the funniest things I have ever seen. I really do think Larry David was much more responsible for the quality of Seinfeld than Jerry. I just can't stand Seinfeld, I really hate his standup and I don't find his character on the show very funny (although he did have his moments).

I think Jerry was obviously the glue. His standup about the hilarious, mundane observations of everyday life is what the show revolves around. He wasn't a great actor but without him none of the other characters work. Larry David was definitely the mad genius who took the show to another level and that is seen in the drop off of the overall quality of episodes after season 7.
