Stella is a sketch comedy series that aired on Comedy Central in 2005, starring three comedians: Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain. The show is a continuation of the trio's previous comedy troupe, also named Stella. The show is structured around a series of short, absurd sketches that often revolve around the three main characters, who are portrayed as bumbling, clueless, and often downright strange individuals. Some sketches focus on wordplay and puns, while others explore surreal concepts like a man who steals light bulbs, or a group of people who are inexplicably drawn to a giant turtle.
The show is known for its offbeat humor and bizarre, sometimes grotesque imagery. Despite the often absurd subject matter, the three performers display a great deal of chemistry and comedic timing, making even the strangest sketches entertaining to watch.
