Comedy Central: The Web Shows
Posted on 03.14.07 by Will Harris @ 6:41 pm

Seriously, what’s up with Comedy Central constantly going after the lowest common denominator…?

The network is furthering their original broadband programming market by premiering two new series: “Baxter and McGuire” and “Good God.” I don’t think I really need to tell you anything about the former except that it’s an animated show and its title characters are a pair of testicles.

As far as the latter, it’s a live-action series that takes place in the offices of God; there’s a really funny premise there, but its failing comes from being such a slavish attempt at ripping “The Office.” (It also doesn’t help that the first episode is literally potty humor, revolving around the question of whether or not God took a stinky dump in the office bathroom.)

There are, thankfully, others segments in the network’s web repetoire that are worth making note of. “I Love The ’30s” is a spot-on parody of the various decade-spotlighting series on VH-1; its creators also offer “All Access: The Middle Ages,” which is pretty funny as well. “Golden Age,” however, is full-on genius. It’s an animated mockumentary series about what happened to various animated commercial icons after their careers went downhill; the first episode involves a cereal spokesperson (think Sonny the Cuckoo Bird) who goes insane, kills three children in his rampage to get his favorite cereal, and is now living a quiet life in a sanitarium. “Guacamole” has its moments, with dialogue ostensibly coming from various food items, like a cabbage, a can of soup, and, yes, a container of guacamole. The only thing worth recommending about the surreal “Tiny Hands,” however, is that David Cross appears in its first episode.

Check out ComedyCentral.com for a list of all the web shows at your disposal, but, trust me, start with “Golden Age.”
