Hey, everyone! It’s Fan Friday again! Today, I’m going to talk about an amazing show called The League. Honestly, this is the funniest show I’ve even seen on television and I can’t get enough of it.
If you haven’t seen it, I’ll tell you the general premise. The characters come together several times a week because they’re all in a fantasy football league together. Most of the time, this is really just a reason to get all of them in the same room. The characters have known one another since high school and have a long history of running jokes. The characters have families and professional careers but it all goes out the window when they’re together. If you’re not a football fan, don’t worry. I know next to nothing about football and I don’t stay very current with it but I love the show. If you do happen to love football, there are definitely a lot of jokes that will appeal to you as well.
The antics of the characters are absolutely hilarious. Whether it’s Taco singing an inappropriate song at a children’s party, Andre making a trophy in his likeness, or the whole gang stalking an old high school friend, this show is absolute comedy gold.
I love this show. The characters can be absolutely vicious to one another in the name of making a joke. At times, it reminds me of my own group of friends. Running jokes add depth to situations and their shared background.
For a long time, I sang the praises of the writers. One day, while looking up information about the show, I found out that it’s actually classified as improv comedy. I was blown away. I like improv comedy but this show just didn’t have that feeling. I gained a whole new respect for the entire cast and crew.
You can find this show on FX, Netflix, DVD, and Blu Ray. I’m sure you can find it other places as well but those are the ones I know of. If you’ve never seen it, definitely check it out.
