They really take on the strange humour of Louis C.K. on this season to bring a bit of odd comedy to the rather dark situations Louie finds himself in.

I've only seen the first season of Louie. I have some catching up to do!
Animated version of what was, and maybe still is, the most downloaded podcast in history. I'd only seen bits and pieces of this, and listened to a couple of the radio podcasts, but mostly this went overlooked.
I could not recommend this enough. It may be called
The Ricky Gervais Show but, like Idiot Abroad, it's very much all about Karl Pilkington. It's a platform created by Gervais and Merchant for him to talk and for people tro get more of an insight into who he is and how his mind works, the latter being somewhat unique to say the least.
Three people sat in a room, talking (but discussing the big questions really, not just aimless chatter) with very basic animation. It's simple, it must have been cheap, yet it's funnier than a hell of a lot of written, crafted, scripted comedy. It's just another example of why exactly Gervais and Merchant took a little break from their own careers and instead worked on, as Gervais himself called it, "Operation: Get Karl famous".
"Karl, if you could spend the day with an exact replica of you, what would you do?"
"How would I know which one I was?"
"If you knew with absolute certainty that today was the end of the world, how would you spend that final day?"
"I've always wanted to kick a duck up the arse."
