When 2001’s Super Troopers came out, it launched American comedy troupe Broken Lizard into the status of comedy cult icons. This success led to films like Beerfest and Club Dread, as well as truTV show Tacoma FD which is entering its fourth season. Super Troopers even got a sequel after raising crazy amounts of money online. All of these projects have something of a blue collar feel, featuring satirical takes on the lives of policemen, firefighters, or regular middle class dudes just partying and living their best lives. This is why their latest film, Hulu’s Quasi, is a far departure from what the Broken Lizard team usually tackles, set in the Middle Ages and providing a silly take on the classic story of lovable hunchback Quasimodo. As it turns out, this isn’t much of a departure for the group at all, as it simply harkins back to their time playing dress-up as an up-and-coming sketch comedy troupe.
