Is anyone else watching this?  
It seems to have generated absolutely no buzz, but it has to be the funniest thing on at the moment.

I am, though I haven’t seen the latest episode, yet. I mentioned it a few days ago in a thread about (IIRC) shows we were pleasantly surprised by. And I also noted that I stumbled upon it, having never seen a commercial or heard anything about it anywhere.

FX is really starting to give AMC a run for its money in the “basic-cable channels with quality lineups” category.

We have laughed out loud at every episode, so far. This is quickly becoming a favorite. The dialog, while goofy, flows very much like we think or talk to our own friends. It’s\*\*\* _fun_\*\*\*.

The only reason why I knew about it was because I subscribe to Jim Jeffries page on Facebook.

I’ve been watching from the beginning and love it. I got a couple others to start with the airplane ep (#4?) which was probably the worst of all. Fortunately I convinced them to go back to the beginning and they are hooked as well.

Second season is as good as the first.

Based on the OP’s recommendation, we gave it a three-episode tryout last night. Very funny stuff and reminds me of Gervaise somewhat. And hey, Cliff Claven!

I still haven’t checked it out even though I think Jeffries is one of the funniest comedians around right now. I have to fix that.

Definitely, Loach. Season 1 is on netflix streaming. I think it’s everything that people like about Louie, except it does it better.

I love DJ Qualls’ performance in this.  
Playing a paralyzed guy he does a great job with just the expressions on is face.
