Three Busy Debras

I haven't seen the original live show but this is pretty decent. It feels like a well done Youtube video though. I enjoyed this but I can't see it holding up over an entire season.

Three Busy Debras makes fun of those "Stepford Wives"-y type film settings. Everything is cartoonish and absurd, but I didn't find it "random" like a lot of people say. It is a bit of pointed satire. I'd wager whatever shows most people are watching are also stupid and random time wasters like Family Guy or Robot Chicken.

This show has a unique sense of humor and wicked promise. This just goes to show the great variety on Adult Swim as a whole. Can't understand why it would be rated so low, but then again Tim and Eric's "Beef House" (in the same half hour time slot on Sunday nights) has a similar rating. Maybe people just don't get it but if you don't dig on these, maybe Adult Swim isn't your kind of party.

Honig, Stonoha & Jouhari's daft Debras is a massively strong concept - sharply stabbing at vain domesticity, societal norms and feminine tropes through the cunning guise of extreme foolishness. It flew so far under the radar I'm amazed it even got a second series, or that I even saw it in the first place, but I'll be forever glad that I did. Honig is particularly good at a form of bent-leg hunched gurning behaviour that I find extremely favourable. I hope that one day this steaming slice of bizarre honking and strange thrashing about gains the strong cult status that it truly deserves. Lemoncurd may be gone, but from the smoking ruins three iconic silhouettes emerge...

Adult Swim's live action shows have a record of being very hit-or-miss. Luckily this show is just silly enough to give me a good laugh at least once an episode, without me being too embarrassed to admit I'm watching it. And all the Debras are fantastic!
