Looking for suggestions for comedy web-series.

I enjoy the webseries Red vs Blue and have watched it for quite a bit. I'm now looking for other shows that are similar or worth checking out. Specifically, I'm looking for shows that are available online (preferably downloadable, but if not, that's fine) and for free. The shows do not have to be machinima like Red vs Blue is - animation, real people, it doesn't matter. Also, the show doesn't have to be based on gaming or internet culture - so far, those have been the only kinds I've found.
I've watched the show PurePwnage which wasn't really too my liking. I have also watched Rooster Teeth's other two shows, The Strangerhood and PANICS. I didn't really like the former, and the latter only lasted a few episodes. Any shows I should look into?
Feel free to suggest any webseries that shouldn't be missed, regardless of whether or not it is comedy.

The Show with Ze Frank. One year's worth of comedy goodness.

If you don't get the Cartoon Network then you can always catch adultswim on the internet. That stuff is gold.

pretty much any show on www.channel101.com that has justin roiland, jd reznar, or dan harmon is amazing. Theres several other good regulars who are funny too but I can't remember their names.

Not really a series per se, but The Message is my favorite online comedy thing of the moment.

Homestar Runner is popular; unfortunately, it's all in flash, so I can't see it on my computer.

The Lonely Island - granted, the only serial thing they did was The 'Bu (see channel 101 above), but their stuff is brilliant, and they are of course now famous as the guys who do all the digital shorts on SNL.

TikiBar TV is pretty good, and it tells you how to get drunk.

A few people recommend The Burg, but I never got into it myself.
