Absolutely Fabulous

Every episode of this critically acclaimed and award-winning show is packed with unforgettable adventures, cutting satire, and hilarious absurdity — from pissed off celebrities to talking towels to underpants-stealing gnomes and crime-fighting kids. So join Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny for all their foul-mouthed adventures. For them, it's all part of growing up in South Park!

Late-night sketch-comedy show based on the humor of MAD magazine. Material includes impersonations, fake commercials, mock movie trailers, and even Spy vs. Spy segments. Competes against Saturday Night Live in its time slot, but aimed at a younger-adult audience.

South Side follows two friends who just graduated from community college and are ready to take over the world. But until they do, they’re stuck working at Rent-T-Own. Shot on location in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, the show offers an authentic look into what life on the South Side is all about.

A British show in which actors and comedians improvise sketches in various "theatre-sports"-type games, based on audience suggestions. The games might include singing a Hoedown about Tory Politicians, acting out a soap opera as hamsters, becoming bizarre super-heroes, or making up a musical about the life of an audience member.

Providing comedy/news in the tradition of TV Nation and SNL's Weekend Update, Comedy Central's Daily Show reports on the foibles and of the real world with a satirical edge. In addition to news stories, the Daily Show also has celebrities (and semi-celebrities) on for interviews with the host, Trevor Noah. Lampooning everything from televangelists to Charlton Heston ("I did not play a homo in Ben-Hur"), and shamelessly assigning faux-news epithets ("Newt Gingrich: Giant Toddler") Kilborn, Winstead, and the crew actually manage to report some real news from time to time.

An offshoot of "The Daily Show" (1996), "The Colbert Report" (the Ts in Colbert and Report are silent) is a parody of shows like "The O'Reilly Factor". Colbert begins the show with teasers about the show's content, then the credits go by, with a giant eagle and the Stars and Stripes featured predominantly. Colbert peppers commentaries with phrases like, "Look, I don't have time to read books" or "President Bush isn't a head thinker, he's a gut thinker." Aspects of talking-head programs are exaggerated and Colbert presents a host overwhelmed by his own importance. Guests do not walk on-stage but are seated at a small table to the side. Colbert runs over to them, encouraging the audience to applaud and high-five him as he passes. He is then likely to begin an interview by asking a guest something like, "Explain evolution in 20 seconds", or "Isn't everyone who disagrees with the President guilty of treason?" Colbert is also very clear about our #1 threat": "Bears!" His distrust of bears is a continuing theme.
