I would describe it as Napoleon Dynamite meets Mister Rogers directed by Wes Anderson.
It’s a lovely show that got cancelled after 3 seasons, but the seasons they got were really special and worth watching. There’s a very subtle, sweet storyline throughout the story that isn’t immediately obvious if you just jump around via clips.
Love this stuff.
Unironically, I consider Adult Swim as one of my favourite curators (and funders) of modern art. The breadth of unusual, yet incredibly well done work that they’ve created a place for over the years is staggering.

I just love that Joe fella.
I was just thinking about this episode yesterday! This show was great and the world needs more Joe Pera. I really love the part in this episode when he says he wants to figure out why jack-o’-lanterns scare him “so goddamn much”.
Joe Pera Talks With You might be my favorite show of all time. The way it makes fun of the midwest with such love, and is both hilarious and heartfelt just hits different.
The supermarket episode might be the single greatest joke ever told on television.
