I came to LOGO's "Big Gay Sketch Comedy Show" late. In fact I never watched when it ran on television. I've seen it on dvd.
The first season had some funny moments but for the most part it was like alot of programming on LOGO not totally fleshed out. Just on because they wanted programming for a "gay" channel.
Season 2 is much better. The cast seems to perform better, there are recurring characters that the audience goes crazy for, and the writing seems better and faster paced for a sketch comedy show. These three clips are standouts...
Black History With Grandma Bell
This is funny to me on so many levels. I can't even really explain it but it's just laugh out loud funny...
This next sketch is funny because of it's great satire. To use a wonderful, celebrated icon like Maya Angelou to comment on the absurdity of the personals on Craiglist is genius...
This final sketch is great because not only of it's commentary of objectifying the "hot latino" but also the depths we are sometimes willing to go to, to serve our own needs...
