By Robert Lloyd | Los Angeles TimesThese are trying times, but we may take some comfort in the fact that a third season of ” Joe Pera Talks With You ” comes to Adult Swim Sunday. Briefly stated, it’s a show about a soft-spoken, round-shouldered middle school choir teacher in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula who offers “presentational” videos — they have titles like “Joe Pera Takes You to Breakfast,” “Joe Pera Answers Your Questions About Cold Weather Sports” and “Joe Pera Gives You Piano Lessons” and involve talking to the camera. I think they had a large impact on my type of comedy and made their way into the show in a really strong way. Your “quarantine” special, ” Relaxing Old Footage With Joe Pera,” with its images of nature (and downtown Milwaukee) is full of Joe-style jokes and observations, but it is truly relaxing. Like with ”Joe Pera Talks You to Sleep,” I’m delighted when anybody says that it works for real.
