[TV] US Comedy Cup 2024 - NOMINATIONS THREAD

[Weststander]

1. Frasier
2. The Office ….. brilliant imho, they kept the silly British spirit of the original.

[Friends can’t touch them].

 

[The Mole]

I won't bother nominating 'Kids In The Hall' then.

but i will nominate


"The Phil Silvers Show" aka "Sergeant Bilko"
and
"Police Squad"

Another seconding for Bilko - amazing a show that is older than me is still so funny. Favourite episode is when Elvin Pelvin joins the platoon

 

[Hugo Rune]

Curb.

A different level to any other US comedy.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Always Sunny in Philadelphia
American Dad
Brooklyn Nine Nine

 

[Comrade Sam]

Police Squad
Kids in the Hall (Canadian)

 

[Pevenseagull]

The UK one didn't have Yes Minister

Thus one doesn't have Bilko



This is like Italy not qualifying for the world cup.

 

[Superphil]

Simpsons
American Dad
Family Guy
Eastbound and Down

 

[drew]

Consider it quite blinkered to have both live action and animation in the same category!

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Consider it quite blinkered to have both live action and animation in the same category!

Why?

 

[drew]

Why?

Two very different genres and could have had two epic contests instead.

Mellotron being lazy!!

 

[Diocletian]

Surprised no mention of Taxi

 

[Mellotron]

Consider it quite blinkered to have both live action and animation in the same category!

I wasn't willing to set up a very small tournament purely for cartoons.

Equally, I feel shows like The Simpsons and South Park have absolutely earnt the right to pit themselves against "real life" comedies.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Parks and Recreation
Assume Arreted Development got a nomination too?

 

[Chicken Run]

Following on from the success of the UKCC24, I present to you;

The US Comedy Cup 2024 - NOMINATIONS THREAD

View attachment 174866​

A 16-show tournament, so do what you can to make sure your preferred shows make the cut. Cartoons (Simpsons, Family Guy, Rick & Morty, Bob's Burgers etc) are allowed.

Everyone can NOMINATE 3 shows, and you can also SECOND 3 shows each.

I'll start.

I nominate;

Curb Your Enthusiasm
Flight of the Conchords (whilst the duo are from NZ, it was filmed in the US and the majority of the producing/directing is American)
The Simpsons

When do the nominations close?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Is Schitts Creek a possible? Too Canadian?

 

[Klaas]

The Simpsons
Frasier
VEEP

 

[Mellotron]

When do the nominations close?

NOMINATIONS CLOSED.

I am sorry if your preferred option(s) did not make it through.

I want a high quality, shorter tournament. 32 teams felt too bulky, and I didn't want the complications/messy group endings that a 24 team tournament would entail.

Think of this as like an old school Euros tournament. Strong groups.

The 16 Contestants who qualified for the US Comedy Cup 2024 are;

Curb Your Enthusiasm
Flight of the Conchords
The Simpsons
Family Guy
South Park
Frasier
The Office (US)
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Archer
Cheers
The Big Bang Theory
M*A*S*H
Parks & Recreation
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Police Squad
Arrested Development
​

There will be NO seeding, groups drawn using a randomiser website.

Groups to be announced at some point soon.

Who does everyone back for the prize?

Back on post #52 - if a MOD wants to update the thread title it would be welcome!

The draw has been made for the group stages;
