my league is full of the most despicable, foulest and most ******** human beings known to man. doesn't make the show any funnier to me in the slightest. it's a badly done version of what should be a funny to show... but that's just me.

Like Sunny there are scenes and episodes where they are trying to hard to be over the top and funny.

But damn if those aren't my favorite two shows to watch. Because when they get it right, they get it DAMN right. Ruxin, Taco, Raf are all hilarious. There was a like 3 episode run for Raf where the stuff coming out of his mouth was having me laughing so hard. And I am not the type of dude to LOL all that much.

Its not so much the fantasy football for me, although it does give the show a revolving plot line. I just think this is a very funny group of comedians and they play off each other well.

Looking forward to Season 3. With Sunny not meeting last seasons hilarity, the League picked it up for me IMO.

I definitely prefer the league to always sunny this year ...... so much good stuff

one of the few shows on TV I have to hit the pause button on so I can quit laughing so I don't miss the next joke

the scene with ruxin and rafi @ the gym was one of the funniest sequences I've seen in quite some time

I'm trying to figure out which Rafi sceen had me rolling more this past week - the scene on the couch being introduced to the au pair, the scene where ruxin walks in on him on the toilet, or when he came in to build the bridge ..... so funny

I think Rafi may be one of my favorite characters on TV right now .... it's not just the lines, which are great, but the timing and way they are delivered is excellent

I still find this show hilarious but outside of Rafi it feels that it has taken a step back from last year. I wonder if they spent too long writing things in case there was a strike.

i don't know if it's the kind of vacant facial expression/stare that he has or what .... but I almost start laughing the moment he gets on screen

All of you who knew about this and didn't PM me to make sure I was watching it -- you're on the list. This show is hilarious.

the 12-12-12 episode was great ..... followed by another goldblum appearance, was gold when he was talking about how he could help solve ruxins problem ... the last episode had me cracking up as well with full blown Rafi and the deon sanders sighting

very strong season

Rafi is one of greatest characters on TV right now, for my money. How someone can be so funny and so scary at the same time is beyond me.

Great season.

Anyone still watching? If so, what the HELL did we just watch???? lol.

That episode this week was like. Ok this is how I picture the writers meeting.

A bunch of the leagues usual writers, getting high and drunk before they write the hilarious episode of the week, when in walks Seth Rogan with a crapload of mushrooms. EVERYONE trips balls and writes this episode.

"Dude, it will be another Rafi and Dirty Randy episode, but it's gonna be animated in Puerto Rico with them trying to smuggle a dead body back into America."

lol

Sophia,,, NOOOOOOOOO!!!! :( To quote Ruxin: "She was so hot..."
