Glad Comedy Central decided to give maybe their most brilliant show since Chapelle's Show a proper send off with a final season despite less than stellar ratings: LINK

Final Season starts on Thursday.

Funny story: when I clicked to watch that trailer it showed me a commercial of that same trailer I was clicking on.

I'd go with "Pancakes, Divorce, Pancakes" as mine.

It's such a good show. Hoping Forrest breaks free of the reviews, but I'm thinking he dies.

"Pancakes, Divorce, Pancakes, " made me laugh so much it hurt.

Anyone seen the Australian version with Myles Barlow? It's very funny as well, except unlike Forrest who is good hearted and heavily naive, Myles is more a totally sadistic monster with no conscience whatsoever.

Really hope they do "intergenerational romance" this season. That was probably my favorite of the ones they did in Australia.

i just want to say this is the pinnacle of comedy for the medium and it has been since day 1

racism and addiction are just perfect comedy

"I've got some good news and some bad news"
*Drags out Suzanne's father's body*
"You killed my father in space! So what's the good news?!"
"Space was amazing."
"You son of a bitch!"

I guess that's sort of an American thing.
We like our protagonists to be...likeable.

And honestly, I think our way is generally better.
It's funnier to me when I can relate.

The scene where he gets shot at the ATM makes me lose it every time.

Such a great show. Andy Daly is perfect as Forest McNeil.

That show was amazing. I hate that it ended. Andy Daily is great in everything he's in.

When he's dressed as Batman is one of the hardest I've ever laughed

New episode tonight.

Last's week was fricking hilarious with putting the pet to sleep. I love how his first instinct is immediately put his son's dog to sleep with absolute glee.

And I also spent last weekend watching all the Aussie episodes. They're great, but very, very different, and he takes things to a far greater extent than Forrest ever would. Like on "what is it like to be an actor", he takes it to a far more sick extreme in impersonating a missing person of a family that has been missing for 20 years and pretending he's their son. Forrest would just go and try out for a play or movie, but Myles takes it to far greater extremes than Forrest would ever think.

Just as a comparison when they review addiction:

Forrest
Myles
