I watch a shit ton of TV. There is very little on right now that is funnier than this three minute scene. Just the casting of Will Arnett and David Cross, in itself, is enough to make me ask WHY THE FUCK IS THIS NOT IN AMERICA?!

Oh, right. NBC has to continue to show Heroes, ABC is peddling LOST knockoffs and CBS is for grandparents and necrophiliacs.

David Cross’s new TV show, The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, just started airing last week.

Unfortunately, it’s on Channel 4. In the UK. I guess this is payback for Ricky Gervais coming to Hollywood and The Daily Show’s poaching of John Oliver. Or some kind of karmic retribution for American TV canceling Arrested Development.

Anyway, here’s a clip that features a ton of really spectacular swearing by Will Arnett, who hires the nebbishy David Cross away from his straight-man boss Spike Jonze (first thing Jonze has been in since Three Kings!) to go to London to market an energy drink called Thunder Muscle:

Because the whole world sucks, you can’t watch the full episodes that are up on the Channel 4 website if you’re in the US.
