This is my opinion on ppl my age that watch Colbert and Daily religiously :O

I think the first two seasons of Workaholics have a lot of really good dialogue that anyone who grew up during the late 80s and 90s could appreciate (Family Double Dare anyone?). The third season is pretty bad though, I gotta say, as for most of what is on the channel. Anthony Jeselnik is really funny, and I think he's got a new show coming out that might be pretty good.

Jeselnik Offensive is funny. Workaholics season 1-2 was good but the lastest one is quite bad. Comedy Central presents [insert comedian name] is a hit or miss. Roast of [Insert celebrity name] are generally great. Futurama is amazing. It also HAD Dave Chapelle show. +the 3 shows you like.... comedy central is quite decent and no where does it suck like many people make it out to be. The channel we should all shit on is MTV... I mean come on, Jersey shore, Teen pregnancy, etc.

You would be surprised how good some of MTV's shows are. True life actually isn't a bad one and so is The Buried Life, they are pretty entertaining. Though I'll admit that teen moms might have been the best worst idea for a TV show ever. Comedy central is kinda eh. They have some great shows like Micro mentioned, but after that they have a lot of things that are more miss than hit. Most times I'll watch one and just never feel the need to watch it again. I don't watch TV much though, so I could just be at fault for having too small a sample size to make up my mind.

Not sure how close that Comedy Central in the US is to the UK version but, i do like the UK version.
We have Friends constantly on it repeating every day about 4-6 episodes lol. The good Two and a Half Men with Charlie Sheen on it alot. South Park of course and the Daily Show.
But theres others i like, Kings & Queens i like, Mike and Molly can be funny too for me xD
Then Charlie Sheens new show Anger Management i find hilarious, also 30 Rock. An English comedy called Threesome is just troll worthy xD

Friends
Anger Management
Two and a Half Men (with Charlie Sheen)
30 Rock
Kings & Queens
Mike & Molly
South Park
Threesome
Daily Show

Then we have alot of Stand up comedy thrown onto it as well;
Micheal Macintyre's comedy road show has lots of comedians on it not just him
Live at the Apollo, which is great, 3 comedians on a show for 30minutes in London

It also has shows i don't really like on it like;
Scrubs
Tosh0
Whitney
Sex & the city
The Office (both US and UK version of that)

xD but i think it's a great channel

They just need to stop showing unfunny movies like White Chicks.

Then they need to do the following:

- Roast of Jay Leno (Cuz he's an asshole)
- Get the rights to show Parks & Recreation
- Create a new season of The Sarah Silverman Program
- Get the guys from MST3K to make a new show
- Get some old SNL episodes, you know, the ones with Christopher Walken
- Put the axe to Ugly Americans, just kill that show already, nobody wants it
- Show the Louis C.K. show "Louie"
- Wilfred
- The Simpsons
- KILL DANIEL TOSH WITH A FLAMETHROWER
- Stop trying to copy off the success of Southpark by introducing "controversial" cartoons that just deal with the same over-used formula of shock-humor (I use this term loosely, because my grandma probably wouldn't even be shocked by this stuff) and "omg, cartoon characters that cuss omg", and "let's have an episode that addresses the issue of homosexuality BECAUSE IT'S NEVER BEEN FUCKING DONE BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!."

If you want to be controversial and funny, here are some ideas:

Edit: I was going to post this idea, but I have a feeling that it might not be a good idea. I really had an idea, but after typing a paragraph of stuff, I just was like "What the fuck did I just write?" and deleted it. Sorry. I guess my ideas are just too hot for TV.

Comedy is always hit or miss. The same comedian might get roaring laughter in one venue and get boo'd out of the next.

That said, Here's my ratings:

Top tier:
Colbert report

Good Tier:
Daily Show
South Park
Tosh.0
Brickleberry

OK Tier:
Workaholics
It's always sunny

Crap tier:
pretty much the rest, occasionally a special production of standup or a roast escapes this

You also have to accept that their demographic is generally going to be young people who smoke weed and drink. If you're not that demographic, well, tough shit.

what can I say? the standard TV tropes of "look at the trouble these dumbasses get into" and "watch these guys do exactly the opposite of what they planned" just aren't that funny to me.

I cannot stand Sarah Silverman. I don't know many people who do like her either. O_O I thought Comedy Central does have Louie? Anyway, a lot of guys posted some good one's already. I think micro is cherry picking at most of their cartoon offerings. There was one cartoon I was introduced too that I thought had potential but I think it only lasted one season. It was called something High. It had Cleopatra, young Gandhi, Kennedy and some other shit.
