TVtip: Nick Swardson's Pretend Time

December 29, 2010 11:00 pm • Last Updated: December 30, 2010 5:38 am

10 p.m. Tuesday, Comedy Central

One of the funniest stand-up guys currently working, Swardson has his own video sketch show and, at its best, it's insanely great in the pushing-boundaries fashion of "Family Guy" - which is of course part of the recipe. Skits include Lady Gaga's cop brother, the similarly attired Garry Gaga; an HR guy giving a sexual harassement seminar to employees at a Mexican donkey show; the final episode in a reality program "best meth cook" contest; and a guy who uses his child's terminal illness - and a fake baby "bucket list" - for his own hysterical purposes. Very subjective but amusing for the right mindset.
