W/Bob and David

I love this. I was a big fan of Mr. Show in the 90s, so my expectations for Bob & David as comedians and actors come from my experience with Mr. Show and with David's stand up, and not from Breaking Bad or arrested development (although I loved the latter).

This humor may not be for everyone but it really is brilliant! Is there a word for smart, stupid-humor? It's satire at its finest, and the exaggerated acting, weird comedic timing and cheesiness all contribute to a staged and clever feeling of awkwardness. The show stays relevant by making light of hot button political and social issues like racism, sexism, religion, extremism and current events, and with ridiculous humor and crazy scenarios w/ Bob and David makes a statement on how people interact with one another in a way that makes you go "Did they really just do that?"

Anyway, I have to laugh at all the reviews that say "Maybe this is funny if you are American." I think Bob & David would have fun with that sentiment. But I'm American, so what do I know? LOL.

If you only know Bob from Breaking Bad and David from Arrested Development you are clearly not a fan of comedy and have no business reviewing this show.Bob Odenkirk was a writer for SNL, David Letterman and Get a Life. He created Tenacious D and has written,directed,produced and starred in most of Tim and Eric's work and tons of other Adult Swim shows.He is a comedy god and he never even saw Breaking Bad before he was on it(Google it).If you watched this show because of Breaking Bad you're a mental midget who should have his internet privileges suspended.For those who have brains, this show is an awesome reincarnation of Mr. Show.It's sketch comedy for smart people who like to laugh.Most people won't get it because SNL has tricked people into believing that sketch comedy is just supposed to be the same unfunny recurring characters and prerecorded "songs".This show(and Mr. Show) never did lame jokes about politics that make a show almost unwatchable after a few months.Eight-teen years after Mr. Show you can still watch it and not know that it's old.This show will be the same way.A true timeless comedy classic.If you're just a Saul fan don't bother with this show.It is far beyond anything you can comprehend.

Laugh track, Bad jokes, and Poorly executed jokes

These are all done on purpose and that doesn't make it good. If a bad movie knows it's a bad movie, that doesn't make it a good movie.

This show feels like they dug into a dumpster and found a folder containing all the rejected skits from Saturday Night Live and that does not make it funny.

If you're one of the people that can laugh at bad movies like Scary Movie or Sharknado, this might be something you'd enjoy.

I, for one, am tired of shows selling off the idea of "we're lazy and that's why it's good!" to the simple-minded who accept bad writing because it makes them laugh.

This is modeled after the 1970s comic British TV shows. And in 2019 the 1970s British TV shows still look good. This looks bad. Forced. The camera image quality has gone up, the budget has gone up, everything else is down the toilet.

A sequel / continuations of 1995's Mr. Show, w/Bob and David picks up where the sketch series left off, more sketches, but now with slightly older actors. Its only 4 episodes, and honestly doesn't bring much the original didn't. Like its okay, but only had a couple laugh out loud moments, otherwise was mostly vague commentary guised as meh comedy. There's also an hour long "behind the scenes / making of" episode which is as long as half of the series itself. If you liked the original definitely give this a watch, if you haven't seen the original, just watch that.
