Paul Isakson and Tom Kauffman as well as director Danny Jelinek have been responsible for some of the best stuff on Channel 101 over the years (including Everything, Sex Teenagers).

Now, they’ve got a full fledged TV pilot in the form of an Adult Swim TV special called Art Prison. Of course, it’s a show about a prison specifically designed for artists.

It’s wonderfully ridiculous, meta, and so damn funny as well as tangentially commenting on art, art criticism, the prison industrial complex, storytelling etc. Also, if you’re a big fan of Fresh Off the Boat’s Randall Park, he’s playing the lead by the way.

So, give it a watch and enjoy on AdultSwim.com here.

We weren’t kidding about that pull quote from our ‘100 Best’ list from last year.

F*ck This Late Night Show, the late night talk show that has an enemy force actively trying to ruin the show, was so damn fun.

They’re finally doing another version of it next week and you really ought to not miss it.

Tickets are only $5 and you can (and really should) get them here.

Most movies and TV shows want to stop some catastrophe from happening if they’re invoking the technology of time travel within their premise.

Party Over Here is here to show you that time travel can be used for other things that don’t have the fate of the planet hanging in the balance and are, honestly, more fun.

Heather Anne Campbell, Nick Wiger, Ryan Perez, Marques Ray, Danny Jelinek…

…Lauren McGuire, Yamara Taylor, Carl Tart, and Rachel Lee Goldenberg are the additional writers/directors/cast of Party Over Here on top of The Lonely Island, Paul Scheer, and Nicole Byer/Alison Rich/Jessica McKenna.

That’s some of UCB and Funny or Die’s best that make this new late night sketch series at Fox even more enticing.
