I'm making this thread in honor of my personal favourite comedic minds.
-Michael Showalter
-Michael Ian Black
-And David Wain.
First off, let's take a look at one of the best shows to ever get cancelled after it's first season because nobody liked it.
Stella!
The show was completely absurd and ridiculas, but somehow managed to not come off as too stupid. From losing their appartment, to running a paper route, to writing a novel, every episode ends with a message about the importance of friendship. Unfortunately I couldn't find any solid youtube clips of the show, other than some lame best of clips that have absolutely no context.
However!
Going back a few years before the show got picked up, they made several great shorts. My personal favourite being this one, 'Pizza'.

The show on Comedy Central changed it's tone slightly, but if you're a fan of the shorts, their Season One DVD is a must buy.
On top of doing their show, shorts, and stand up comedy tours, the trio has worked on several films.
Wet Hot American Summer.
The brand new film, with a hugely awesome cast, The Ten.
The DVD of this is coming out in a few weeks! I think you can pre order it now off of it's official website http://www.thetenmovie.com/index_ten.php
Michael Showalter tried a little bit of solo work with his romantic comedy, The Baxter.
Before forming Stella, they were in a comedy troupe called The State that aired on MTV in the early 90's.
For those who are interested, they have a five disc DVD set coming out sometime real soon!
After The State was finished, several of the cast members started the now popular show, Reno 911! The show has been on for several seasons and, as you probably know, released a full length movie recently.
Every single member of The State (which includes Stella) made appearances in this movie!
So, are there any other Stella fans here? Or do you all hate this show as much as most people do.
I for one watch the Season One DVD more often than I watch reruns of Seinfeld (which is lot), and would do horrible, disgusting things for the show to get picked up for another season.
Until that day (which will likely never come), I'll be forced to fulfill my Stella needs with their various solo projects and pointless threads like this one. That, and my 'Who the Fuck is Marcus?' mug.
Discuss!
If you feel like it.

I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU FOR A WHILE
I see you've changed your Avatar and Sig drastically!
Pie is good. I think I'm going to make some tomorrow.
what is this thread about the op is big and scary
It's a way for me to express my insane love for three men in suits (I was going to add "In a non homoerotic way", but I'm not really sure. I really love this show), and see if anybody else actually liked it.
I'm kind of assuming that nobody liked it.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Michael Ian Black is sooo dreamy.
I always thought David Wain's bald Jewish head was quite attractive.
And Michael Showalter has a certain awkward figure that is just exploding with sexuality.
I love Meissnerd.
It's about Nicholas, and Stella!
But mostly Stella.
i really liked them
Actually, The Sarah Silverman Program took it's time slot. It's enjoyable...but it's no Stella. She goes for the shock, they went for the absurd. I like absurd more.
Also, absurd rhymes with turd, making Stella the victor.
