‘Three Busy Debras’ finds work for idle hands with absurdist sitcom

Gina Twardosz | Thursday, April 16, 2020

In the first episode of David Lynch’s series “Twin Peaks,” prom queen Laura Palmer is D.O.A. She’s beauty, she’s grace and she’s wrapped in a plastic bag, blue in the face. It’s a horror comedy that kills off its protagonist as a catalyst for the absurdity that follows. But, is it so absurd to see

Jena Friedman’s ‘Soft Focus’ brings the uncomfortable laughs

Owen Lane | Thursday, March 1, 2018

Every successful comedian reaches a point in their career when they are dwelling on the cusp. Think John Mulaney before his “New in Town” special. They are well known and widely liked by their fellow comedians, but are unknown to all but ardent comedy fans. These comedians are in a state of flux, where a

‘Hot Streets’ is a bizarre, mediocre outing from Adult Swim

Owen Lane | Friday, February 2, 2018

“Hot Streets,” the brand new animated comedy from Adult Swim, appears true to the Adult Swim ethos of being jarringly weird and uncomfortably graphic with a fundamentalist fervor. However, unlike the network mainstays “Rick & Morty” and “The Eric Andre Show,” there does not appear to be much happening underneath the show’s bizarre exterior that

‘The Jellies’ brings Tyler, The Creator’s irreverent humor to the screen

Adam Ramos | Tuesday, October 31, 2017

Art has never been attached to a particular medium. Yet, as technology continues to sophisticate the ways we can both receive and create it, artists now have a greater spectrum of mediums to choose from than ever before. As such, musicians from every genre are abandoning their sonic palates for distinctly new materials to work

This time around, the editorial team switched gears from the usual conversation on music to focus on the latest in entertainment television. Check out these hot takes, from Adult Swim being the last bastion of network creativity to David Lynch’s impressive revival of the “Twin Peaks” series. Volume I: FALL 2017 by The NDSMC Observer’s

Tim and Eric continue their bizarre but triumphant run with ‘Bedtime Stories’ season two

Adam Ramos | Wednesday, September 20, 2017

In 2004, Adult Swim — Cartoon Network’s late night programming block, then only three years old — introduced the world to the surreal comedy of Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim (endearingly referred to simply as Tim and Eric) with the program “Tom Goes to the Mayor.” Supported by comedy veterans David Cross and Bob Odenkrik, the

‘Rick and Morty’ season 3 is out of this world

Ryan Israel | Monday, September 11, 2017

“Rick & Morty best cartoon out by far” proclaimed rapper Waka Flocka Flame in the midst of the incredibly popular television show’s year-and-half long break between the season two finale and the season three premiere.  Flame’s tweet embodied the show’s growing following — a legion of diverse fans who patiently awaited the highly anticipated third season. Fortunately, fans

“Rick and Morty”: Welcome to the darkest year

Brian Boylen | Thursday, April 6, 2017

Unpredictability and chaos have always been critical components of “Rick and Morty.” From the myriad instances of fourth wall breaking, the occasional completely (and noticeably) ad-libbed scenes to the complex inter-dimensional hijinks, the show has never been easy to predict. I suppose, then, I should not have been surprised when the show creators decided to

‘Dream Corp LLC’ takes the workplace comedy on a nightmarish trip

Adam Ramos | Wednesday, October 26, 2016

Adult Swim is hitting its stride in a big way. In an industry becoming more and more antiquated, the late-night alt-comedy haven continues to defy industry trends with its eclectic blend of surreal humor and innovative experimentation. The network’s latest addition to the chaotic canon, “Dream Corp LLC,” which premiered this past Sunday, sheds some

An interveiw with Tim Heidecker

Adam Ramos | Thursday, June 16, 2016

“I’m not interested in necessarily staying in the lane that everybody expects me to,” Tim Heidecker, of “Tim and Eric” fame, disclosed in a phone interview May 26. And while unpredictability seems to be a cornerstone in Heidecker’s repertoire of uncomfortably hilarious oddball alt-humor, it seems he had even more in mind. The recent release of Heidecker’s
