#watchthis: Pound House

Doug Lussenhop, I believe, was the editor for Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!, and Pound House is Doug's post-all-that-show, featuring Tim in some eps, but not Eric.

Doug gets to be the straight man, while co-star Brent Weinbach, portraying a genius duality of character, steals the show. The co-stars are all awesome.

The show stays true to itself and follows a solid theme throughout—if I were to give an elevator pitch for Pound House, it would be that it feels like Tim and Eric, less spastic, mixed with David Lynch, starring comedy insiders, with great editing, great acting, and featuring at least three memorable, new characters (Doug, Brent, and the rapper/stick guy)—while breakout episodes like "Skate" take it in unexpected, even uplifting directions.

"You just got sprayed."

Pound House 14, "Balls," just came out three days ago. Haven't even watched it yet. There it is, right there. Boom. Eat it.

China, IL is awesome, and so is Adult Swim

Cartoon, insane, hilarious, doesn't take itself seriously at all, and yet has a beating heart. The characters are well-written, the dialogue is engaging. Never a boring moment. You won't regret it.

Here's the show's page on Adult Swim.

Here's show creator Brad Neely's China, IL predecessor comic, Baby Cakes.

So start with either, I've given you all I could possibly give you, time management enthusiast.

Adult Swim, for the past few years, has been hitting it out of the park. The shows they run are the best in modern comedy, from Tim & Eric, The Heart, She Holler, The Eric Andre Show, Frisky Dingo, Bob's Burgers, Metalocalypse, NTSF:SD:SUV, Rick & Morty, Sealab 2021, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, and The Venture Brothers.

And those are merely my favorites—the above list barely scratches the surface of the total number of programs they air.

Plus their homepage design has been awesome lately, and they've been running series-long marathons of one show at a time, available to watch right there when you visit the site.
