5.0 out of 5 stars "Dumb comedy dressed up in a suit.", August 17, 2006
By Adam R. Beauchesne (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I hate to just throw another five stars at Stella with the other reviewers, but it deserves nothing less! The comedy is brilliantly simple, which is hard to find in TV these days. The plots are simple and predictable enough that the ridiculousness of the jokes becomes the focus of each episode. It's amazing how few television shows take the absurdist route these days, but at the same time; I would have never guessed that three men in suits that act like toddlers could make me seriously laugh. The three main actors are hysterical in their unusual relationship with each other.

I watched much of the show's first season, and immediately decided that it was some kind of independant group that had come up with their own plots, and would stay away from the mainstream. However, they score huge credibility with great guest stars (Jeanine Garofalo, Paul Rudd I believe?), that play off of the absurdist comedy with some strange touch of realism. I can't recommend this show enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, September 22, 2006
By Quatermass (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
I love this show. I watch much less Comedy Central now that it's off. The series plays like a modern-day Marx Bros. with an absurdist twist and some fun celebrity cameos. Nice extras on the DVD, especially the "History of Stella" documentary, which features great footage from the live shows.

People who hate this show are probably the same people who have made Larry the Cable Guy a ratings sensation on Comedy Central. Get 'er done! Gaaharf, gaaharf! It's a shame that there's no room for a smart show like Stella when Redneck Comedy Hour is on like five times a day.

Somebody call Marcus!

5.0 out of 5 stars Like nothing else you'll ever see..., August 25, 2006
Two years ago a friend convinced me to see this trio of comedians from MTV's The State perform at a comedy club in Boston. Thank goodness she did, because it was perhaps the most hilarious evening I have ever spent watching something that I can hardly describe! The best I can come up with is "team stand up" but that can only offer a glimpse into the brilliant, original work of Black, Showalter and Wain. These guys have such great chemistry (that's what happens when you work with someone for decades) and freshness, I can't recommend them enough. The show follows more of a narrative than their live act but the essence is the same: three grown men in suits that live out a live-action cartoon. Time, space, all the traditional tenets of reality don't apply for these guys. Just sit back, keep an open mind, and enjoy the lunacy of STELLA!

I couldn't wait for the DVD so I bought the show from iTunes so that I can watch it on my Video iPod.

This could be the funniest show I've ever watched. Hardcore fans like myself will find the commentaries just as funny as the shows themselves.
