Legend of Neil definitely has less mainstream appeal, but it's gotten really funny. The second episode of this season is great.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I wonder if it's because Legend of Neil is such a *guy* humor thing? Not that I don't think it's funny...

It does have a lot of that, but it also has a lot more targeted, Zelda-related humor, whereas The Guild is much more about a diverse group of wacky characters that most anyone can relate to even if they don't game. It's more accessible.

I guess so. I've never played Zelda. I wasn't even aware of its existence until Legend of Neil. I'm sure there must be a layer of game humor I'm missing, but there's plenty of stuff that's just funny no matter what your background.

The "Game On" video was just released to iTunes today. Already #1 in UK and #3 in US. I'm happy to be able to see it in better rez than on Bing.

I've been rewatching Community on Hulu and I can't think of a currently running TV show that makes me laugh harder. The ensemble cast is great, the writing is consistently good and I like that they use a fair amount of location shooting.
