Comedy Bang! Bang!

When I watched the first episode, I was wondering what I was watching. I then watched the second episode and wondered why I was still watching this! Half way through the second episode is when it hit me; this is meant to seem like a bad talk show when talking with the guest.

The comedy of it is making fun of how bad talk shows can be, and how the hosts think they can do no wrong. The humor of it can be compared to what I call everyday humor; stuff that happens in everyday life that is funny, but not everyone get's it. It is not a show catering to everyone, and not for people who aren't into the harder styles of comedy(Comedy that the average person usually doesn't understand why it is funny.).

They do go out on a lot of limbs in this show, but that is what you do in comedy. I will admit sometimes these chances they take fall flat, but I appreciate their vision. Reggie and Scott are a great duo; they play well off each other, and you feel like it's real when Reggie makes fun of Scott, or when Scott is being sincere about his feeling with Reggie.

All around I suggest check it out, because even though I didn't like the first episode, something made me keep watching the second. To me, that means they were still doing something right.

Reggie watts and Slop Awkward man are hysterical. My only minor complaint is the guests. I love them all to be honest and I'm not saying they were bad choices but. Is someone just going down the list of everyone who had anything to do with wet hot American summer, parks and rec and the office? Sketch comedy doesn't need to suck the D of the comedic elite to be funny but I guess when your pitching the show the people with the $ always want celebrity names for the shows they produce. I'm not gonna pretend I know how Hollywood works but I do know people generally are very motivated by money. I'm done with the review but since IMDb Nazis are forcing me to write more I will oblige so that Scott and Reggie and the crew working on the show know that this guy right here is watching the show and is loving this run on sentence right now!

This show falls into a different category of humor- and based on the reviews, I'm going to guess that it is an obscure sense of humor that many people do not get. However, I get it, and I love it! If someone doesn't understand it, it doesn't make the show bad- it just means its not in your taste. This show has famous actors and actresses who obviously understand the humor and are okay with being a part of it...so HA!

I would say, if you liked Arrested Development (the original ones), if you can watch a Reggie Watts special, if you like Mr Show with Bob and David, Children's Hospital and other Adult Swim shows, you would probably like this show.

Don't let the other reviews scare you off! Its odd humor, but if you're into that sort of thing watch this show. The Ed Helms episode is worth your time!

It's refreshing to see a new show with fresh and unpredictable writing. As an old person I also appreciate the humor that isn't about a toilet or other bodily functions. I'm talking to you Tosh. I love the way that the episodes are named and of course the content. My favorite bit was where Scott interrupts an interview (which he does frequently) and goes out to feed his meter. The sketch occurs in the future where lasers and explosions are happening. Jillian Jacobs (Community) gets into his car as he is trying to find his meter credits and tries to convince him to join the rebel alliance. He refuses and returns casually to the show after applying his credits to the meter. It was fantastic. I've loved each episode and am an avid fan. Keep it up!

One thing is certain - this show is unpredictable! Its humor is random but amazingly good at it. The writers did a great job at mocking talk shows, creating in the process an original piece of art, unique kind of show filled with great jokes, unexpected story twists, satirical segments, hilarious guests and, last but not least, continuous silly word play including host's name. I also have to mention that creator/host Scott Aukerman is amazing at mocking TV hosts, doing that both subtly and obviously. Reggie Watts fits in perfectly with his unique style; he made me laugh so many times with his 3 second songs. I love this show, it's refreshing, but it does require a special sense of humor to appreciate it, I don't believe that many people would like it. But those who do, they will LOVE it! I give it 9/10 just because there were couple of episodes that felt "off" to me. But definitely - a must watch.
