Tripping the Rift (old sci fi show)

Just started re watching it and I am really glad I did! It has such a great lewd yet creative/ satirical style of humor.
Some of the best sci fi social commentary I have seen since futurama. It was an old sci fi channel show and gets pretty raunchy and deep.
The first episode is called God is our Pilot (a hilarious name for a pilot ) and has a great plot. I read many or even most of the episodes are just parodies of other movies/ shows but they do it really well. The voice acting also seems really well done so far, the main character is an alien named Chode who is a spaceship pilot who flies around getting into trouble with his crew which consists of:
A stuck of religious robot
An advanced female sex robot/ cyborg
A gross she alien
And a bratty young lizard alien
The animation is a bit weird as its an older show but it gets pretty trippy even in the first episode and I definitely recommend checking it out.
Here is the site I am watching it on if anyone's interested:

In episode two they have to rescue a space sports star from planet SnortAline where there is a raging party.
"neighboring planets already called the cops 14 times"

There also was a hilarious alien racial profiling joke in the first episode where a robot is doing "random checks".
I am a sucker for this kind of sci fi humor

When did it air on the sci fi channel? I don't think I ever saw it on TV sadly.
Aside from the older animation I am really enjoying it though.

I love how packed full of references it is. It's a great raunchy parody.

I watched a bunch of episodes of this a few years ago. I remember it being funny sometimes but I didn't really love the characters or the aesthetic. Apparently it was a Canadian show.

I dig like half the characters/ voice actors. A few are ridiculous and have annoying voices but I like lewd aliens in sci fi shows for some reason 
Now that you mention it I vaguely remember reading that is was a Canadian show.

Another goofy space-themed comedy is Red Dwarf. I caught bits and pieces of it as a kid but never really got into it until a few years ago.

Yeah it's pretty funny. The main character is this sort of grimy punk who had a shit job on a spaceship and is now the last living human. They started making new eps again recently.

Here is another great quote:
"Tinook you better stay here, it's too dangerous"
"Chode, you care"
"Lets face it, those hunters are bound to mistake you for a big ugly water buffalo, and when they shoot you what if I was standing next to you and you fell on me? I might get hurt"
"Fucking asshole"
"Huh, that's captain fucking asshole to you"

It has been on Netflix in the past, at least in Canada (I think it isn't here at the moment). If not you can get it here:
