“Oh my God. I need a long bath in cocaine to wash the normal off of me.” That is one of the funniest lines I have ever heard in any sort of show on TV or the internet. Break a Leg claims to be “The award aspiring Internet sitcom brought to you by the acclaimed fans of Arrested Development, Scrubs and The Office.”

I watched the episode titled Jen-Affair. Jennifer John Bradley had an affair ten years ago and wants his wife to find out the normal way, through the tabloids.

I had to go back and watch a few episodes where I could understand what this was all about. The running joke is that a guy has the name Jennifer and he claims that it’s perfectly normal…in Sweden. Break a Leg is a sitcom inside a sitcom, meaning the story of the people working on making a sitcom called Groommates, about three men who get left at the alter. Jennifer is the producer.

So Jennifer wants his wife to find out he had an affair ten years ago by reading about it in the tabloids. He calls his publicist, an ex-drug dealer, who loves this idea until he finds out that the woman Jennifer had an affair with is a math teacher. He screams at Jennifer for not giving him anything to work with and calls him normal.

This is the sort of comedic genius that I wish more television sitcoms were made of. This is the kind of humor that would make me watch more TV. Then again, I have always liked things that aren’t exactly the most popular. I think it would be fun to be a Neilson family just to screw up their rating system and prove that there are some people out there that would rather watch paint dry, grass grow and a car rust than watch American Idol or Dancing with the Stars. I want to beat the life out of FOX network people every time House is pre-empted for American Idol. I also feel this way when USA pre-empts the WWE for The Westminster Dog Show. Watching men dressed in tights get hit in the head with chairs is entertainment, watching dogs walk in circles isn’t. I can name at least a dozen shows on TV that should be replaced with Break a Leg. My fear would be some network would pick it up and get some professionals to redo it ruining the humor and references to horse genitals in ways that seem perfectly normal when discussing the public eating up tabloid stories.

On the internet you can get away with more than you can on network TV, even if in the end you do decide to self-censor your own work. Very few shows make proper use of raunchy adult humor without going overboard where it no longer funny and you can tell they are just doing it because they can and it’s almost offensive. This is a case where it is used properly, making it normal and showing that it can be done tastefully to some extent. I can not wait to see the next installment of Break a Leg.
