hilarious scripted TV shows that use for
reality TV or a documentary style to
tell their stories number 10
Reno 9-1-1 I just don’t see what’s so
great about the FBI I know everybody
here gets a you know a boner every time
they come by what’s so great about it
they wear suits and handle the fluids of
dead people okay reality television is
full of golden opportunities for parody
and some of the writers from MTV’s the
state banded together and decided to
share their vision of a twisted and
mostly incompetent police force in Reno
Nevada that ain’t fair they will take my
moustache from my cold dead upper lip my
friend coming in to work it outside a
hilarious send-up of reality show cops
the Comedy Central original series
became an instant cult classic giving
the world some hilarious moments and
unforgettable characters we were lucky
enough to get a full-length feature film
in 2007 with another film rumored to be
nobody in it number nine Summer Heights
High and like because it’s gonna be on
the news and on TV and stuff like I
don’t a brag but I think they wanted
someone decent looking one of the
funniest shows to ever come out of
Australia Summer Heights High introduced
the world to versatile comedian Chris
Lilley this documentary series follows
the story of a spoiled rich teenage girl
played to hilarious perfection by Lily
who transfers from a posh private high
school to a public Melbourne school
friends do not write two text messages
in an hour saying see you in English
save me a seat not just a fish out of
water story the short-lived comedy
created two spin-off shows featuring the
different characters all played by Lily
on Summer Heights High if you Garda Hill
fed people like oh my god you must first
saw line number eight fishing with John
best thing about ice fishing
[Music]
it’s filled with possibility hip actor
and musician John Lurie knows nothing
about fishing maybe this is why it was
such a stroke of comedic genius to start
a ludicrous reality show about going
fishing with celebrities his guest stars
such as Willem Dafoe and Tom Waits
sometimes don’t seem to know much more
about what’s going on and it’s sometimes
unclear if they’re in on the joke when
first premiering on IFC in 1991 even
audiences were unsure if the show was
serious or not one thing’s for sure we
probably will never see anything like it
again number 7 the thick of it
absolutely useless justice as a Mazda
pound L Jenna take house of cards turn
it very British again this time into a
faux documentary and make it utterly
hilarious and that is the thick of it
politics in the UK are satirized a lot
but when it’s done this well you need to
applaud it and share it with the world
you shouldn’t really have told us to
should you don’t shoot me here because
I’ll shoot you right back I’ll shoot you
right through that window Peter Capaldi
as the brutal and vulgar spin dr.
Malcolm Tucker is exceptionally
hilarious and thankfully put the show on
the map giving us the equally brilliant
spin-off movie in the loop just the
amount of creative insults you can learn
by listening to Tucker is worth a binge
watch I like to know what I’m lying to
say this kind of a toss it on a moron

TV show so quickly although here she
plays a huge sitcom star trying to make
a comeback what audiences got in Valerie
cherish was nothing like Phoebe note to
self I don’t need the meta concept and
scathing Hollywood commentary was what
convinced HBO to produce this fake
reality show that follows around the
ageing fading starlet as she tries to
rekindle her sick
success the show was brought back a
decade later as a found footage
documentary about the stars career well
it’s not that long it’s just technology

series and a partnership with Netflix
but it all started as a simple
mockumentary following the misadventures
