Vic & Bob try their hand at a conventional studio sitcom for the first time and it's chock full of their particular brand of indulgent strangeness. There's a ghost of a farcical plot which holds each episode together but mostly it's weird tangents, odd riffs, bizarre chatter and surreal asides rather than an actual thing. It's a trifle awkward at times but the surrounding cast are game and the whole thing feels like a Shooting Stars riff spun out decadently into a whole other format. For non-fans it's probably inexplicable and off-putting but for devotees like myself this brief two-year thing is like bottled joy. Not to mention the effort V&B put in to spotlight character comedians they like throughout - with the set walls bedecked with Vic's paintings the whole thing feels (like everything they do ultimately) that it's something just for them that magically we get to see. Glorious.
Only reason it gets as high as a 2 is because of the godly Matt Berry, otherwise its just unfunny chaos masquerading under the guise of surrealistic tv. Can't fathom what motivates the actors to assume what they're doing onscreen could somehow be considered even faintly amusing much less comedy.
if you do not like Vic and Bob then you won't like this show and if you do like them then you'll love it. There is, of course, no real script to this 'sitcom' and certainly no reality to it!!
it is based entirely on the vivid and bizarre imaginations of the funniest British duo in the last 25 years.
Morgana Robinson is absolutely fantastic at being a creepy woman! if you like surreal humour with a hint of the maniacal give House Of Fools a go.
i'm going to give this show an eight
10 lines.

What I see when I watch this program is 2 middle aged men with no particular skills or ability who have probably failed at any attempts at any sort of career and have resorted to bottom of the barrel easy-to-write gags with no character based humour at all.
I probably sound like somebody who's 'no fun' for saying this, but when I think back to shows like The Extras, It's always sunny in Philadelphia and South Park I laugh.. When I think back to this show I'm going to think 'How sad..'.
The setup for this show comes in form of 10 second lines for each character which are sung in such a way as to make us think "oooh how random and fun!" - My understanding is that one of them owns a flat, the other one is just there for no reason - and Matt Berry (doing his usual character) turns up every so often.
If you've seen 'the extras' by Gervais and are familiar with 'when the whistle blows' - this exact show is more or less what they are making fun of... However I doubt they would have known back then just how bad a BBC sitcom could get!

Five minutes into the pilot episode I wasn't too sure if I would like this new sitcom from Reeves and Mortimer, but it soon had me laughing out loud and by the end I was left wanting more. It's typical Reeves and Mortimer humor and won't be to everyone's taste.
The supporting cast are all very funny characters. Julie, their sex hungry neighbor,played by Morgana Robinson is hilarious; I wouldn't object to living next door to her. I'm curious as to how others will receive this sitcom but If future episodes are as funny as the pilot episode I'm sure I'll end up watching the series more than once. Great stuff!!!
