I caught this on Adult Swim last Friday evening.
I find this disinformational science-show parody hilarious.
...and both seasons are online.

"Germs originated in Germany before rapidly spreading through the rest of world. They're basically a malevolent form of bacteria with one purpose: to spread germs."

Definitely an acquired taste, and one of those things that seems much funnier after I've seen it when I start thinking about stuff that happened in an episode. A lot of subtle, downplayed stuff.

I love the part about birds. "One might ask the same about birds. What are birds? We just don't know." There's a hilariously deadpan outtake episode on Youtube about birds:

"This robin's making a model of himself. It's very lifelike." I won't even spoil the part about "baby birds."

I liked the first season better, without all the cast members.

I saw this stoned one night and thought it was the funniest show ever put on television. I watched the same episode sober and didn't really laugh.

I hate it when humor works like that.

You might need to spend some more time stoned.

This would be better if it was even more subtle and less jokey. The funniest part was the guys hand getting redder.

Next you'll probably try to convince me that Demetri Martin's show is funny.

Worthless.

I may have to give Demetri a second chance.

Agreed. But the intent is to entertain a mass audience. That includes idiots, probably in the majority. So it's understandable, but still executed well considering.

The occasional funny bit, but nothing that will make you want to muster the effort to laugh.

Thank you for replying. You have been filed under "boring people."
