Would probably vote Orange if Jason Biggs' character didn't exist. Basically I dislike all the leads (Piper, Larry, and Alex), but everyone else is pretty strong. Pablo Shreiber is fucking hilarious in this.

Maron is a cheap Louie knockoff that I don't fuck with.

Brooklyn nine-nine is entertaining enough, but every character has a doppleganger on a previous Schur show, so you can only like it so much. Bauer is fucking awesome on it, though.

Kroll Show>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Shit is creative as fuck (the whole first season of reality shows spinning off reality shows was fucking awesome). Oh, Hello/Too Much Tuna; Publizity; Armond of the House and Rich Dicks are all fucking great.

Voting Kroll.

I like Brookly Nine Nine way more than I can justify it
Just a good cast and it goes down really easily I guess. Its a perfect time-waster.

Drunk history made me laugh out loud alone in a room many time.
If the eric andre show were in here, I'd vote for that though.

It came out last year, so it wouldn't even be in this poll.

There are some really good options to pick from here. While it can be inconsistent, at it's best Kroll Show is insanely funny, so it gets my vote.

Nathan For You is a very close second for me, followed by Jeselnik Offensive. My top 3 could easily move around episode to episode though.

I enjoyed what I saw of Legit and Maron. They're both good shows, just not really high on the laughs-per-minute. This might sound hypocritical since Louie is also not big on the laughs-per-minute and that's one of my fav shows, but neither of these are at that Louie level.

Inside Amy Schumer is pretty terrible.

I haven't seen the other shows yet.

The Pete Holmes Show could probably be mentioned here too. It wouldn't stand a chance or anything but it's funny and it's new. Also, most importantly, it's free online.

I feel like BK99 hasn't hit it's stride yet. It's been okay and I definitely watch it but some of the characters just seem one dimensional at this point. I felt the same way about Parks and Rec when it started too though so I'm not worried.

Jeselnik Offensive fell off hard in the second season.
