If you’re looking for a show that’s part animated, part live-action, and all patently insane comedy, then you need look no farther than Cake. Yes, that’s the actual title of the show. No, it has very little to do with actual cake. But for those who want an experience unlike nearly any other, then “Cake” is the place to start when it makes its return to FXX. You can watch it with a 5-Day Free Trial of DIRECTV STREAM.

About Cake

This season of Cake looks to mix things up a bit. The short-form anthology comedy series will more heavily feature animation, reports indicate, coming from three sources in particular.

First, Reza Farazmand’s webcomic “Poorly Drawn Lines” will feature prominently throughout season five. “Poorly Drawn Lines” follows three friends — Ernesto, Kevin, and Tanya — who discover that the broader world is a lot more bizarre, overall, than they’re used to. It’s even stranger when you’re just starting out in it.

Second, Branson Reese’s webcomic “Swan Boy” will also have a big piece of this season’s time. “Swan Boy” follows the tale of a half-man, half-swan in his early 20s. As you’d expect from such a bizarre character, his life will be full of trouble that he’ll need to navigate successfully for the sake of his own survival.

Finally, season 5 will also play host to an intermingling of short subjects. From Dan Britt and Alex Plapinger’s animated “Beings” to live-action series “Words With Ike” and “The Dream.” Look for plenty of bizarre introspection and plain old ridiculous situations to emerge throughout.
