We're worried there's going to be a " Just The Ten of Us " in here that we don't yet know about. Futurama delivered a strong season of math jokes that made me wish I had paid closer attention in high school, Ugly Americans found hilarious new ways to torture eternal do-gooder Mark Lilly, and newcomer Bob's Burgers introduced me to Louise, who has easily become one of my favorite animated characters of all time.

But for me, the mark of great a comedy, whether it's animated or live action, is how the show deals with its more serious moments. It's easy to be funny; it's much harder to find the humor in more desperate times. In its 15 th season, South Park was able to do just that.

With thirteen seasons of King of the Hill under his belt,Mike Judge, the cartoon's creator, was able to wryly poke fun at phenomena like Twilight and Super Size Me out of the mouths of two idiots. The new incarnation of the show didn't only have the duo of dummies poke fun at music videos, but also MTV's lynchpin reality shows like Jersey Shore and Teen Mom which many of us watch to ascertain why, exactly, they're on TV , hoisting MTV by its own petard and making Beavis and Butt-head the two smartest, funniest and most aware characters on the entire network.

Oh, and they get hurt
