Me too! It was the one where her dad gets ripped apart by dogs. And when Mr. Jellineck gets hit by the car. It was really late at night and I thought " what in the world is this?" I'd never seen anything like it. It was so weird,but hilarious!
I forgot how much I loved this show back in the day! Hilarious! When comedy could still be comedy without being censored by people who are offended by literally everything.
This is just like my recurring nightmare. See I'm a HS drop out and I must have some unsettled issues with it. I always have these dreams where I go back to school but I'm my current age of 34 and in the dream it's normal to everyone but me. Very similar premise.
In mine I have to go back to school for some random reason and I’m trying to dodge some of the teachers who are still there from back when I was in my teens cause I don’t want them to see me. For whatever reason I’m never in a actual classroom, the dream usually never goes pass the front lobby/commons of the high school
In mine I forget my locker combination every day and begin to annoy the office staff and have to dodge the hall monitors because I don’t have a pass and I’m late.

Strangers with Candy was genius on so many levels. I'm sad I missed it when it originally aired
To write and produce a comedy with your friends - a dream come true.
this show is the reason why I dream that I'm still in highschool at 40.
The fact that I still get high school dreams is the reason I stumbled upon this show.

Didn't know that was a thing with other people haven't been to school in 17 years still dream about it though
You couldn't make a show that is as un PC as this one was. God, it was hilarious.
You could just have to make it funny though. See it's always sunny in Philadelphia
This is still one of my all time fave shows. It sucks that very few people know when I reference it because this show deserved it all.
As a Brit this is one of the few American tv shows that’s as offensive as our comedy shows I’ve laughed my arse of watching this
Our glory days of comedy hahaha
there were a few Yanks who understood the humor from the bbc! the Young ones was one of my favs
Arse!!! lol!
Check in on some of these same comedians and they're woke af now 😂@@truthtoad
It has a very British-comedy vibe, doesn’t it? I’m speaking as an American, so correct me if I’m wrong.
It’s so funny that this Pilot is 10x cleaner than the actual show
I found it identical. The mother is the coach. Her hair is black instead of brown and the bit about her being a volunteer is the only difference

How did this racist and homophobic show that also made fun of retardation make you feel “seen and heard”?
Stephen Colbert, Amy Sedaris, and Paul Dinello!
I adore Amy Sedaris. She has such good style.

Damn that's gotta be tight.

You could never make this show today. A long or a time when writers and Steven Colbert knew how to be funny.
