Mr. Birchum

I watched Ladyballers. I then visited my family and they all raved about it. I asked about specific scenes in the movie, they said "Oh I've only watched a clip or two, but the message of the movie is so true and on point! It's funny!" So I had them watch it. Afterwards, they were inches away from canceling their daily wire membership. They were appalled. Daily Wire rips into modern culture and foundry talks about Plato and the Great Gasby, ... fine. Show us what you think our culture needs more of. Show us the what a quality alternative looks like. This show has the same issue as Ladyballers, People seem to like the IDEA of the show more than the actual jokes, characters or story.

This will have its fans. And I'm happy for you. There are many shows and movies I love that I know are awful quality but it just scratches an itch I have. However this IS lacking in quality and holding DW accountable is important. They are young... but not THAT young anymore...and they seem to be investing a lot of energy and money into some rather poor quality products. And they'll keep doing it if they keep seeing people rave at the ideas alone. (I mean if you think about all the Disney defenders out there, they never defend the quality of these Marvel shows or Dr. Who Specials or Star Wars shows etc... they identify with the idea. Maybe let's hold "alternative" media to a higher standard than "this fits into my world view" and start looking for shows that actually deliver good stories, jokes, characters, music... anything really at this point.)

The animation in this is that really uninspired modern "adult cartoon" style that might as well be radio. There is no life breathed into them on a visual level. I remember internet cartoons in the early 2000's that had similar designs but way more inventive animation. The writing is... clunky to say the least. The plot is... there... but motives flip on a dime. I can't tell where people stand on any given plot point. The family dynamics aren't fun to watch. You can have families that don't get along, but you should still feel what drew these people together in the first place. These are joke avatars. The voice acting doesn't do any favors here either but I think it's more of a directing issue than the voice talent themselves. It's hard to be edgy when your character look, sound and feel stale. The whole show is lacking energy and as I mentioned before, it's lacking passion.

Eventually this road DW is heading down is going to burn out people who aren't hungry for ideas that were dated even back when they were relevant. This show has potential to be good, but that just means it hasn't done anything good yet. I really hope this finds it's stride but I won't be tuning in to find out.

One of the few shows I had to stop watching midway through the first episode. I personally like the Daily Wire's content but between this show and Lady Ballers we see a worrying drop in quality. The show kills an sort of momentum by being so painfully slow you'd wish you were triggered by it so that you could feel something...anything. It takes them 3 minutes to walk out of the carpark at the beginning of the first episode. Another concern is that the jokes get stale quickly, in the first three minutes it already made me worry that the had ran out of content. Perhaps daily wire should consider getting comedians to tell jokes since its a shame their large budget is dumped into such a waste of a show.

Mr Birchum will likely end after just one season - but at the rate they're telling jokes I might be dead by then anyway.

It's really just not a funny show so far. There wasn't a single part in either of the first 2 episodes where I or my wife laughed out loud. The only entertaining character in the show really is Tyler Fischers. This was built up for so long and there was so much hype but it's just very disappointing. They might have been better off if the show was only 18-20 minutes instead of almost 30. The failure to land on the jokes makes those extra minutes that much more grueling. I really hope they're listening to the critiques and attempt to fix it. I'll keep watching the next few episodes to see if it gets better but so far I'm very disappointed.

This was the least funny animated sitcom I've ever watched. I was waiting for jokes to hit, but the monotone voice acting and pace left stale delivery. DailyWire has great ideas, but I find myself extremely disappointed with the final products when they release.

I thought Mr. Birchum was supposed to be a Ron Swanson-esque character, a no-nonsense manly-man with a soft and charming side you see peak out every now and again. I just found Adam Carolla's raspy voice hard to listen to and the character of Mr. Birchum was too much of a Facebook comment section boomer.

Better screenwriters would really help. All in all, I probably won't be watching this show.

Nothing really that new.

Same old jokes, tired, overused, animation style.

I really wish these low-budget "idea without a concept" animated shows would find a NEW animation studio to use. They all look exactly the same.

There's no "style" here... no flair.. Flair examples since the studio CLEARLY has no idea.... Simpson's coloring and non-human shapes.. South Park's "cardboard" characters. Rick and Morty's non-realistic human figures. Solar Opposites off-kilter characters and settings, etc. You know CREATIVE animation. Not just standard human figures and oh, throw in a talking dog, or some other animal, too...

This is one of those shows where someone (Carolla and company) has some random idea for a sitcom, but doesn't have the money or can't raise the money for an actual live action sitcom..... so they take the cheap route.. animation. But there's no real point in it being animation, since it's just supposed to be "real life" situations. Animation mimicking live action because you can't afford live action is boring and pointless.

It's more of the same.. nothing inventive or original. Including the idea behind the show.

Just a low budget way for those behind the scenes to think they can make money with minimal effort and then rendered by an overused animation studio with next to zero artistic creativity.
