Earlier this year I signed up for a free Hulu trial just to watch Broad City — and promptly bailed on all my friends for a weekend as I became an instantly loyal addict of the Amy Poehler-approved indie comedy. The show, about two BFFs in New York who give zero fucks about being cool and smoke copious amounts of weed and kick it with comedians like Hannibal Buress and get cameos from Fred Armisen and Seth Rogen, is the female buddy comedy to top everything else out there. Period. These women are hilarious without even trying, messed up in their jobs in ways any other show would try and correct, and bumbling like most twentysomethings out in the world are kinda bumbling. In other words, they are awesome and my heroes and also the heroes of all of my friends who enjoy laughing. And weed.
We still have to wait another two months for Comedy Central to air the second season of Broad City in January, but if like me you need just a little hit of their humor, this brand new trailer is awesome.
