So I am meeting with some friends from high school and I suggested we marathon through my copy of season 1. My problem is how do I hype it up beforehand so that they have enough interest to watch through the whole thing. I want to keep it simple so I want to focus on some of the best elements of the show, so what should I say?

To give some background info for my friends; Two of them once decided to watch Grown-ups over Inception (I later convinced them to sneak into Inception...after watching Grown-ups) so I don't know what that says about their sense of humor. The other one loves Arrested Development so I think he would be ok but he is a bit of a hipster so the heavy use of pop culture references might be a problem.

So what would be the best 5 minute car ride sales pitch to appeal to everyone so they will watch on a regular basis (when its back). I try not to push my interests on other people but I feel its necessary for the survival of the show to spread the show and make the world a better place. Yes I am shamelessly using my high school friends to get more viewers for the show but its for the greater good right?

@nikmonroe: Actually that is what what kept me interested after watching the pilot. I remember that the pilot wasn't so great imo but that one girl to the left of Joel Mchale was so.... I just don't know how describe it so I stayed with the show and regret nothing.

I feel like I am the only person that does not like this show.

Imagine if Family Guy style referential humor were clever and involved a joke in addition to the reference. Also Dr. Ken.

I wouldn't oversell it. As much as I enjoy the show, I had trouble getting through all of season 1. And raised expectations won't help your friends enjoy the show. Just let them watch, and they'll either like it or not.

Hipsters love pop culture references.
