Something about this show--I've laughed maybe three times throughout all of the episodes but it's still super likeable. And yeah, Hannibal dominates scenes.

There's definite chemistry between a lot of them, and it's presented in a very friendly and trusting way. Like even when they're being total shitheads, you're thinking "I get it."

There are few genuine characters like Lincoln in TV now. The very first scene of the show is him finding out his relationship is just physical, but where many shows would get creepy and gross with him, he's legitimately stayed friends with Ilana and behaves like an adult about it. There's even that scene where he's like "why didn't you tell me about Abbi? She's my friend, too." It's very sweet without being forced.

Wait, Hannibal is on this show? Gotta try it now.

 

[big ander]

Hannibal got his own show on Comedy Central, for anyone who didn't hear. 10 eps, called Unemployable. I hope it doesn't limit him on Broad City though, I'd love to see him do both.

 

[Clevinger]

That gay dude was terrible

 

[Testicular Sound Express]

I thought he was pretty funny. Stereotypical, but I laughed.

 

[Extra Sauce]

That last episode felt... different somehow.

 

[ramoisdead]

It's time for some butt stuff and some apartment hunting.

 

[Konka]

Holy shit this opening.

 

[Lijik]

the cold opening was amazing this week

 

[Jarrod38]

Shit exchange dimes for quarters I'm so doing that at the bank.

 

[ramoisdead]

Damn Abbi, you one bad motherfucking boss. Especially after that intro.

 

[kingocfs]

I thought Dale was Simon Pegg for a second

 

[ramoisdead]

This episode is already becoming one of my favorites of this season. I need more Amy Sedaris screen time though.

 

[spindashing]

Hannibal was on fire this ep...

 

[KibblesBits]

This show is brilliant.

edit: HOLY SHIT.

 

[kingocfs]

That fucking sweater

 

[bobbychalkers]

That commercial scene

 

[spindashing]

That commercial scene

Hahahaha

and lol the sweater

 

[Konka]

Holy shit!

 

[KibblesBits]

That ending.

 

[ramoisdead]

Frickin' amazing episode. So sad the season finale is next week. =[

 

[kingocfs]

This show is awesome.

 

[Dereck]

Best one this season

 

[Bread]

ilana's gay friend steals every scene he's in

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Latest episode was great. Hannibal was just the best. Only one episode left this season now, though.

 

[Judderman]

Ilana in this intro, doe.

 

[Messofanego]

I need to watch this after the Getting Doug with High episode, and cause I'm subscribed to Amy Poehler's Smart Girls youtube.

 

[Hulud]

I've rewatched this intro about eight f*cking thousand times now.

 

[Judderman]

Dude, what the fuck at this ending. AHHHHHH

 

[Not]

Glad someone made this thread. I laugh more at this than any other show since 2014 started

 

[Judderman]

Oooh, 8k. UNGH.

...

Oh my goodness.

 

[big ander]

This episode was ILLEGALLY funny. best yet.

 

[beat]

(I only found this thread now... sorry!)

Broad City is amazing. It's easily the second- or third-best comedy on television currently.

I agree.

And it's almost unbelievable that a new show created and run by two young women making their first TV show ever (sure, they've been making the webseries for a few years before this) is this damn good. But it is. It's super funny and super self-assured that it's funny. And the show really loves Ilana, and Abbi, and Jaime, and Lincoln, and Jeremy, and to a lesser extent even Bevers and Trey and Derek.

Just thinking about some of the other new sitcoms I've seen this year, those ones hate all their characters (Mixology), or they're flailing around because they don't know how to be funny (Spun Out)...

This show also plays around with experimental directing and sound editing choices more than most sitcoms I can think of, and they almost always work.

And this all started in part because Jacobsen and Glazer weren't advancing in the UCB theater system enough, so they made their own stuff rather than get bummed out about not getting on improv teams at the UCB. Super inspiring.

 

[Dereck]

You guys knew Ilana has a gaming channel, right?

 

[shadyspace]

You guys knew Ilana has a gaming channel, right?

WHAT

 

[DominoKid]

8 thousand fucking dollars!

the SelectDate commercial had me in pain.

i love this show so much. Ilana makes a good video chick too.

Any other channel, this show wouldnt get a fair push. I'm glad this and Workaholics found a home on Comedy Central.

 

[beat]

I believe they actually had a deal at FX at first but it fell through and that's why they're on Comedy Central. But they say the show on CC is way better than what they were making at FX.

 

[Anoregon]

I've seen all but the most recent ep or two. Really enjoying it, it makes me laughs and both chicks are pretty fantastic.

Well, that's not entirely true. Yes, they didn't get onto a house team, but they were/are super well known and respected by everyone in the community.

 

[Judderman]

Season Finale (NOOOOOOO) tonight:

The Last Supper

Spoiler

The girls go to a fancy-ass restaurant for Abbi's birthday. Abbi must come to terms with being a "nasty bitch" while Ilana pushes through self-inflicted side effects of their hoity toity meal.

Yeah, this is going in the season 2 OT.

 

[ramoisdead]

Broad City season finale in a minute. Let's laugh one more time with the girls. =[

 

[Jarrod38]

Peeing out a condom.

 

[kingocfs]

You guys knew Ilana has a gaming channel, right?

Whoa

 

[ramoisdead]

This scene makes me want to travel up and down NYC so I can find Abbi and Ilana toking up and joining them.

 

[Dereck]

 

[Shiggie]

You guys knew Ilana has a gaming channel, right?

Thats awesome.
The last episode was awesome.
awesome.

 

[Judderman]

Hmm.

Comic from today's New Yorker:

I enjoy both, but hey you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Watched the last two episodes back-to-back over the weekend, loved them. Amy Poehler and that waiter guy were amazing together.

Hope season 2 happens relatively soon.
