There are certain people I think are very funny but who I just instinctively know I won't like their stand up. Ken Jeong is one of those people. Other examples off the top of my head: Harland Williams, Craig Robinson, Rob Riggle.

Titans and Doom Patrol are both REALLY good, honestly the best live action DC dramas I've seen in a while, plus Alan Tudyk as Mr.Nobody is GENIUS casting! I KINDA feel the swearing in Titans isn't needed, but that's a minor gripe.

I had the same reaction when I saw Into the Spider-verse, and saw the shot of Miles running across the window from inside the office. I had storyboarded out that exact scene, down to the reactions, for a superhero animation I was trying.
I loved the ending too, but part of that is that the comic ended in a similar way to comic effect, which I enjoyed.
I did mean Ken, but after that special, I'd rather watch Kim Jong's standup.I assume you meant "Ken", otherwise why wouldn't you think this guy is a comedic genius?
It was a delight.
I'll also echo the Tick. Great first season, can't wait for Season 2.
Seriously, for real, totally, DOOM PATROL FUCKING RULES!
Umbrella Academy is good, but despite the trailer advertising it as a quirky and weird superhero show it is still VERY genre.

It's kinda hard to be quirky and weird in a category that that prides itself on being quirky and weird.
That is true, plus the whole "Classic super team with a twist" has been done in dramas and comedies a bunch before, this series not necessarily better or worse in doing it but kinda the same. I like the Umbrella Academy I do, but maybe it could use a LITTLE more spice?
The comic is a lot better right?

The comic is definitely weirder, which I mean as a compliment. I recommend it highly, but I see why they grounded the show a bit. The comic would have been too much in any other medium.

Welp, guess I know what I'm adding to MY torrent RSS scraper.
Edit HA HA OH WAIT I ALREADY DID because the overzealous HBO copyright brigade was the final straw that spurred me into getting a seedbox in the first place!

Guys! GUYS! Why did you not tell me about some of the beautiful things in The Tick?
Like Tinfoil Kevin. Recognize him? Look him up on IMDB then look at what else he played. Then look back at his name of TINFOIL KEVIN!!
And the Tick himself? Played the British/Italian spy Aldo in the movie "Spy". The Terror? Rorschach.
My only complaint about this show is that the episodes are 1/2 hour long instead of an hour.

Or Arthur's dad, I mean stepdad? The Shredder. Well one of them.

His list is hundreds of credits long, and I'm having a real hard time focusing because of depression. I can't figure it out other than that he played Buzz in Home Alone, and had a couple characters named Kevin on shows I'm not familiar with.

Yeah, it's the Home Alone thing.
