Well, I wouldn't exactly call B&B comedy (more like infantile pandering
to the lowest common denominator).

And, though MST3K is high up on the list, I must say that is is second to
Dilbert. And, luck for those of you who are not blessed with access to
it in your local papers, Dilbert can be read on the Web.

The URL for said source of all great comedy is:
