The Dress Up Gang (2019)
Subtly Hilarious
The Dress Up Gang melds together bits and pieces of the past and present, creating a slightly surreal journey through ups and downs of life. From the past, there's old-time sound tracks (Zoot Suit Riot lol), 80's sitcom interaction styles, obscure movie references straight out of the Victorville Film Archive and many more.
Ironic normalization of hard drug use, peeing in pools, texting your friends things you feel like you can't say in person, this show runs the gamete, and is uniquely relatable for non-simps, in their 20-40s.
I had more laugh out loud moments with this show than Barry and Silicon Valley combined, and I've only watched 2/3rds of the episodes. There are several subtle interacting layers of humor from the music to the camera work to the situations to the words and actions of characters to the ultimate subversion of the obvious.
It streams on the TBS app or YouTubeTV. If you like anything Abso Lutely, this show will strum your guitar, . I can admit it may not be the best for very "literal" people, but for me, the best show I've seen in a while.
