Really, the Stella TV series wasn't that great. It felt really forced compared to their stage shows. Basically, the stage show was its own nebulous, supernatural thing that existed outside of context or reason. It was great absurdism. Then they put it on TV and had to attach their style of comedy to a twenty-two minute plot. It hurt them to have to center all that nonsense around a "structured" format.

You can see this phenomenon occur in SNL movie adaptations, in KITH's Brain Candy, and Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. All of these groups are hilarious in small doses. They can make their joke and not worry about stretching it out. When it has to be expanded and given context, though, it becomes forced and, therefore, less funny.

So I suppose what you're saying is that sometimes, less is more.

Brain Candy was good.

Stella, whether it was the show, on the stage, or the self released dvd was hit or miss. It had it's funny moments wedged up next to moments that seemed to be fashioned for the mind of a 5th grader. Maybe that was the point? But sometimes the "nascent Peter Panism" would even be rejected by their 5th grader peers. I am not saying I am not a fan...but I think i am just more of a fan of THEM rather than what they are doing lately...which doesn't seem to match their wit.
