Me too, it's one of my two favorite TV shows.  The other is The Mighty Boosh. Neither one of those is sci-fi! Well, Futurama is I guess, but not enough. I like humor more than I like sci-fi, that's why Futurama's so great...it mixes the two.  Oh yeah, I have a third favorite show as well.  Monty Python's Flying Circus. I was hoping you were going to mention that. I'm wearing a Ministry of Silly Walks shirt at the moment.

That is awesome.

I keep thinking I need me some Monty Python.

Yeah, I'm probably going to ask for the series on DVD for birthday or Christmas.

Good idea.

Monty Python is maddeningly inconsistent. Some of the skits are hilarious, and some of them are just awful and make no sense.

I've tried watching ATHF but I just didn't like it. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I watched it at about 2 AM.

Personally, I find TV shows to be a lot more funny at 2 AM.

I had the same problem liking Pink Floyd in high school.

I have the same problem with Magma now, one of my friends asked me this exact question: "How can you possibly enjoy this stuff without being on crack or something?"

We just have too refined a taste for them to fully comprehend.

But you liked that f**king XKCD about God and R2D2 so your sense of humor is obviously broken. :P

Yeah, I can find humor in just about anything except modern "comedies" which are nothing more than the same sex and drug jokes over and over and over and over again until they make you sick with their stupidity and the stupidity they assume (rightly?) that most of the viewers are capable of.  Those, I don't like.

The thing I don't understand is why people think they are funny.
