I had the pleasure of checking out the first couple episodes of the new animated series for Comedy Central from comedians David Cross and Jon Benjamin called Freak Show. Don't worry, though, I'm not going to give away any specific details, but I'll try to give you an idea of what to expect.

The Freak Squad is comprised of a group of circus freaks, each with their own unique power. Tuck and Benny, the siamese twins (voiced by Benjamin and Cross) have the power of separation; the Bearded Clam (Janeane Garofalo) shoots blinding bitch juice; the World's Tallest Nebraskan (Brian Stack, a writer and performer on Late Night with Conan O'Brien) can shrink up to six inches; Primi, the Premature Baby, has the power of pinpoint vomiting; and Log Cabin Republican, the only gay member of the squad, can transform into Burly Bear, a large, hirsute man in S&M garb. Log Cabin Republican is voiced by Jon Glaser, also a writer and performer on Conan.

Sick of all the summer reruns? Tired of watching old Mighty Mouse clips on YouTube? Well, if you're looking for a few chuckles I encourage you to check out the series Tiny Hands over on Comedy Central's Motherload site. The shorts were created by and star comedian and writer Jon Glaser (Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Stroker and Hoop) as Dave Gordon, a man who is perfectly normal except for the fact that he has teeny little baby doll hands. Despite this handicap, he still manages to woo the ladies and even win fist fights. The shorts feature other great comedians including David Cross, Nick Swardson, and Jon Benjamin. You can also find the show on YouTube. I stuck an episode after the jump for your viewing pleasure. In this one, David Cross plays a sales clerk who tries to discriminating against Gordon, but our tiny-handed man still comes out on top.
