Netflix has all this fall's comedy specials

Saying Netflix is this generation's HBO may not be as hyperbolic as someone saying it four years ago. The streaming service has it all from mediocre cartoon series to overrated live action shows and overhyped movies. But the service is also an outlet for comedians to release their stand up specials. When HBO or Comedy Central would cut out a few minutes of lame jokes, Netflix will let them keep it in making the whole product available. This fall will see specials like those from the likes of Dana Carvey, Reggie Watts and more. 

Carvey comes back after eight years of being off the Hollywood grid with Straight White Male, 60. Watts brings Spatial, which is being billed as an "experimental comedy adventure." SNL Weekend Update hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost are among the line up as well. Check out the full schedule below.

“8/26—Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy: We’ve Been Thinking…

9/16—Cedric the Entertainer: Live from the Ville

9/23—Iliza: Confirmed Kills

10/7—Russell Peters: Almost Famous

Comedy Central Announces When 'South Park,' 'Key & Peele' Return

That moment you've been waiting for is finally here! Comedy Central has announced its fall line up that includes all new episodes of Key & Peele, South Park, and motherloving Brickleberry. The number one channel for comedy announced the news earlier today.

First up, Tosh.0 is set for a premiere date of August 26 at 10 PM. So if you like all of that viral humor, then set your calenders for that date. On Tuesday, September 9, Adam Devine's House Party will return for a one night engagement at 10:30 then return to its regular 12:30 time slot on Thursday, September 11. Comedians appearing on the stand up show this season include Kurt Braunohler, Kristen Schaal, and Nikki Glaser. Tuesday ends with Brickleberry  making it to three seasons. It will rear its head at 10:30 PM. 

South Park comes back for an impressive 18th season on Wednesday, September 24 at 10 PM. Stone and Parker opted for a condensed ten episode season a year or two ago so this long hiatus between seasons is nearly unbearable. The popular sketch series Key & Peele returns for a larger 22 episode season four on Wednesday, September 24 at 10:30 PM. Who knows what this expanded season will do to the show's comedy. This should be interesting.

Finally, Friday night brings you a show by comedian Gabriel Inglesias called Gabriel Inglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution. I'm sure he'll bring you more of him as well as some comics that he deems funny. 

Comedy Central has a line up that packs a punch. Tune in for a terrific fall season that is sure to leave you in stitches. Shit. Call a doctor or something.
