TV Shows
The Last Man on Earth (RIP)
Silicon Valley
The Wire
I Think You Should Leave
Party Down

Movies
The Death of Stalin (completely absurd and completely hilarious, plus you get Michael Palin, who is probably my favorite comedian of all time)
Freddy Got Fingered (everyone should see it once just to see how long they can last before turning it off)

Music (Album or Singer/Group)
Paris (the band, and I think, the album. Fronted by Bob Welch, ex-Fleetwood Mac--think Glen Frey singing for Led Zepplin.)

Books, Non-Fiction
From the Holy Mountain
In the Footsteps of the Master (fascinating travelogue through British Palestine in the early 1930s)

Board Games
We play a game in my family where every person gets the same number of paper slips as there are players. Everyone writes a sentences on the top slip of their paper stack, then passes the stack on to the next person. The next person reads the sentence, places that slip on the bottom of the stack, then on the blank top slip, draws a picture of what the sentence says. They then pass it all on. The third person looks at the drawing, places it on the bottom of the stack, then has to write a sentence describing the drawing. The process repeats until the stack comes back around to the player with whom it began. Basically a version of telephone, and ends up with people crying with laughter every time.
