That's not a real commercial, it's from the show Atlanta. The episode is B.A.N., and it and the rest of the show are amazing. Worth checking out.

What streaming service is fx on?

u/Kalisz96 Dec 06 '16

They have their own and it's free as long as you have cable

u/GODZiGGA Dec 06 '16

Commercial free, Hulu level of commercials, or basic cable levels of commercials?

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '16

Free as in "you need to be a cable subscriber to watch first" free is a big one for me

u/QuellSpeller Dec 06 '16

I'm not really sure, they may have it on the FX website if you have a cable subscription. I ended up needing to watch it through less than legitimate channels.

its called... "the internet" maybe you've heard of it?

but for real... the first link on that search took me to every episode of season 1 streaming...

Which episodes are supposed to be amazing? I keep hearing good things about that show but I watched the first 3 or 4 episodes of season one and it was just meh.

I really enjoyed the whole show. If you got that far in it may just not be for you.

u/Mardak5150 Dec 06 '16

You're totally right. If you're not dying at episode two when the guy and his "girlfriend" are reunited in jail then the show is definitely not for you.

Nice mtg name btw.

that shit was fucking hilarious.

"SO YOU THINK I'M GAY?"

"sexuality is a spectrum you can really do whatever you want"

that scene was simultaneously super sad and had me rolling on the floor laughing.

donald glover being awkward between them really sold it.

It may not be their cup of tea.

You tried.

You didn't

The last few were the best but if you're not into this show in the first 3 or 4, you're like 1/3 of the way through the season. I think B.A.N. was like episode 7. It's pretty hilarious.

u/HowWouldYouKillMe Dec 06 '16

The episode called B.A.N. has little main story and is mostly filled with silly skits and stuff, it feels like actually watching tv and is pretty funny, especially the car commercials. If you didn't like the show you might like that episode.

I admit it took me a few "commercials" before i realized what was happening.

u/NSFForceDistance Dec 06 '16

yeah, if you got that far it may just not be your thing BUT I'd still recommend checking out the episode BAN cuz it's a very different feel than the rest of the show and very funny on its own

u/The-Fox-Says Dec 06 '16

I'll check it out, thanks!

u/stonedkayaker Dec 06 '16

That episode had a very Chappelle Show feel to it - it was great.

u/A_Sinclaire Dec 06 '16

I have given up on trusting Reddit when it comes to comedic stuff - maybe my taste is just too different... but I constantly see people praising things like Trailer Park Boys or Wet Hot American Summer etc... and I watched 1-2 episodes of each and it was just terrible :-/

I personally love WHAS, but I would agree that TPB seemed like absolute unfunny horseshit. For some reason I can stand Comedy Bang Bang! either. It seems like they're trying to do Tim and Eric kind of humor and just failing miserably.

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '16

Episode 7. I thought the rest was just ok but Paper Boy on the talk show is fucking hilarious.

1

u/GRWAFGOI Dec 06 '16

the rest was just ok?

excuse me, that trans racial piece had me dying

"Why am I not getting the respect I deserve? and that's when it hit me.

I'm white, and 35"

when he's talking to himself in the mirror rehearsing white phrases I fucking lost it.

"Excuse me, what IPA do you have on tap?"

"Did you see game of throne's last night?"

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '16

I mean the rest of the series was just ok. The episode with Paper Boy on the talk show is hilarious.

Identifying as a 35 year old white man had me in tears as well.

I'd actually gave up on the show after episode 5 or 6 (the one with two women eating dinner. It was utter shite) but my mate convinced me to watch that particular episode, which redeemed the entire thing.

u/GRWAFGOI Dec 06 '16

if you don't like it by the 4th episode you probably won't.

the show isn't for everyone. but it is a very well done show. I find it makes some white people uncomfortable, especially that thing about the N word in the 1st episode.

u/SuicideBonger Dec 06 '16

I think this just convinced me to finally check the show out.
