I'm Watching These Three New Comedies And So Should You

Comedy is king right now. With the anticipated return of Arrested Development, Saturday Night Live finally finding the season's groove, and some of the top-rated shows as comedies, there's never been a better time to be funny! Recently, three new and/or upcoming comedies have caught my attention.

Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell

One of the things going for this show is that it airs on Adult Swim, already home to much sublime shows as Childrens Hospital and NTSF:SD:SUV::. Adult Swim has had the genius idea of producing comedies that are only fifteen minutes, and although you don't get a lot of time with the show, it almost guarantees that it can be funny as there's no filler and nothing to be dragged out. Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell follows the daily happenings of Gary, an associate demon in hell along with his horned and bespectacled intern, Claude.

Already on its own, the premise is funny: even in hell, the workplace is an Office Space type of monotony. In the first episode, Gary and Claude's task is to convince a baseball player to start praying to Satan instead of God. One thing I will need to adjust to is the gag-worthy premise that these hell underlings for some reason have to spend time with their faces in the urinal and toilet of the big boss, Satan himself. But a little (literally) potty humor is expected.
