The UK one didn't have Yes Minister

Thus one doesn't have Bilko



This is like Italy not qualifying for the world cup.

Consider it quite blinkered to have both live action and animation in the same category!
I wasn't willing to set up a very small tournament purely for cartoons.

Equally, I feel shows like The Simpsons and South Park have absolutely earnt the right to pit themselves against "real life" comedies.

Following on from the success of the UKCC24, I present to you;

The US Comedy Cup 2024 - NOMINATIONS THREAD

View attachment 174866

A 16-show tournament, so do what you can to make sure your preferred shows make the cut. Cartoons (Simpsons, Family Guy, Rick & Morty, Bob's Burgers etc) are allowed.

Everyone can NOMINATE 3 shows, and you can also SECOND 3 shows each.

I'll start.

I nominate;

Curb Your Enthusiasm
Flight of the Conchords (whilst the duo are from NZ, it was filmed in the US and the majority of the producing/directing is American)
The Simpsons
When do the nominations close?

I am sorry if your preferred option(s) did not make it through.

I want a high quality, shorter tournament. 32 teams felt too bulky, and I didn't want the complications/messy group endings that a 24 team tournament would entail.

Think of this as like an old school Euros tournament. Strong groups.

The 16 Contestants who qualified for the US Comedy Cup 2024 are;

Curb Your Enthusiasm
Flight of the Conchords
The Simpsons
Family Guy
South Park
Frasier
The Office (US)
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Archer
Cheers
The Big Bang Theory
M*A*S*H
Parks & Recreation
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Police Squad
Arrested Development

There will be NO seeding, groups drawn using a randomiser website.

Groups to be announced at some point soon.

Who does everyone back for the prize?
Back on post #52 - if a MOD wants to update the thread title it would be welcome!

The draw has been made for the group stages;
