Human Giant: The next great sketch comedy show

Aziz Ansari, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel.

Remember those names. In a couple of years we will be talking about how awesomely famous they have become...or we will be talking about how awesomely famous they could have been if MTV hadn't cancelled their show.

As of now, these three guys along with writer/director Jason Woliner comprise Human Giant. A sketch comedy show born out of the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy theater. They had gained minor fame over the internet thanks to shorts like "Shutterbugs", "Illusionators", and "Shittiest Mixtape Boombox Blast". After toiling away in late-night comedy theater, they got their shot at sketch comedy on MTV.

The show is amazing. The three previously mentioned skits all make a return, and the wildly original "shutterbugs" has continued the story of the biggest name in tiny talent. I have embedded a couple youtubes of the early "Shutterbugs" stuff and linked to MTV's overdrive site so you can watch their two recent installments, which blew me away. Note: If you are a fan of child actor prodigy Bobbe'J Thompson (the little kid on the short lived Tracy Morgan Show) you will love the most recent installment.

In my opinion, Human Giant is doing some of the best sketch comedy on TV since Comedy Central cancelled Upright Citizens Brigade. We all know that MTV has a poor track record in supporting shows that don't involve 20-somethings getting drunk and sleeping with each other, which is why I am encouraging you all to give this show a couple viewings. You won't be sorry.
