Bill Burr
Bill Burr is a great stand up. New Writing Partner Gary turned me on to him during one of my massive Bill Hicks tirades. He's no Hicks... much too nice, but still pretty funny. So go, there's free shit to download.
The Boondocks
So, after much goading, I finally sat down and watched a few episodes of The Boondocks. It's pretty goddamn great. I think it's a bit more inventive than the comic strip, and the characters seem to really come alive when you see them in an extended dose. They really extended the basic feel of the characters, totally preserving what makes the strip work, and expounded upon it. They manage to be political, topical, and extremely fucking funny. There's something unsettling with the anime style art work, but, overall, I really think it works perfectly. It even has the creepy anime style pacing which makes it have this sort of distant feel that really drives the comedy home. It's almost a meta-theatrical style device commenting on the show being so African-American Centric, while being programmed around shows for white twenty-somethings.
Aside from all that, it's really just fantastcally done.
