Not sure why the down votes.
I've been joking for a while I'd like to see a sitcom where the main characters are an Islamic and domestic terrorist living together in New York while they execute their plots. A terrorist "odd couple" if you will.
I think the characters could bond over a lot of shared ideals, despite their superficial differences.
(And of course they'd have to be incompetent or it wouldn't be a funny.)

- virgulino 6y agoThis is a great movie. Odd but great.
- mhh__ 6y agoThat describes most of Chris Morris's work Brass Eye is his most outlandish creation but before that he did Jam which is (to quote the comments of the following YouTube video) "absurdly poignant" https://youtu.be/LhKla4MEstY https://youtu.be/LhKla4MEstY
- virgulino 6y agoThanks for the tip, I will try to watch these two. Anyways, you made me look for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Morris_(satirist) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Morris_(satirist) , and I'm shocked to learn that he is Denholm Reynholm, from the IT Crowd!
- buckminster 6y ago"My Wrongs 8245–8249 & 117" is weirder than Brass Eye. And brilliant.
- voodootrucker 6y agowow, that is weird.
- leetcrew 6y agoI wonder if you might enjoy the first couple seasons of homeland? there are a lot of problems with the show, but in some ways it's a surprisingly charitable portrayal of islamic terrorists.
- Alupis 6y agoSounds like the TV show "The Americans", although that focuses on KGB sleeper agents in America during the Cold War.
- voodootrucker 6y agoI was thinking more like "damn it, we failed to blow up the government again", and "you got your bacon in my tagine" and "you woke me up with your call to prayer", "you might worship a different god than me, but at least we both hate women's rights". The domestic terrorist could be a coal-rolling hick. That kind of shtick. I'm scared to even type that. You'd need writers legitimately from each culture to keep it funny, balanced, and self-deprecating.
- Alupis 6y agoIt's not a full show, but Key & Peele have a hilarious skit where they are terrorists in a cave, plotting to overthrow America, only to be thwarted by TSA's rules. You might get a kick out of it. https://youtu.be/IHfiMoJUDVQ https://youtu.be/IHfiMoJUDVQ
