Title: Joe Pera Talks With You
Post by: jonas on June 18, 2018, 04:51:32 PM
First season wrapped up last night with a 30-minute episode, anyone else been watching this?

Some episodes are available for free, others need a cable login: http://www.adultswim.com/videos/joe-pera-talks-with-you (http://www.adultswim.com/videos/joe-pera-talks-with-you)

Very different than any of the Adult Swim shows I can think of, low key subtle humor, but so funny if you just pay attention.

Not sure how to describe it other than a combination of Mr. Rodgers and Waiting for Guffman/Best in Show. The pacing is great and the inflection of Joe Pera's voice is oddly soothing, recommended!

Joe Pera Takes You to Breakfast (http://www.adultswim.com/videos/joe-pera-talks-with-you/joe-pera-takes-you-to-breakfast/) is the one that was a hit with me and people i've shown it to. it's my favorite of the four samples. this show seems completely dissimilar to and yet reminds me of Look Around You

Great call on the "Look Around You" comparison, much agreed.
