The only real comedy you see is in the first episode. I must admit it is pretty funny, and is a great start to the movie, but then it goes downhill from there...the rest of the DVD was them bitching like girls, talking about their feelings, and being gay with each other. It would have been better if it had more comedy! Finally at some point during the DVD they finally show another one of their shows. However they don't even show the whole skit, they show the last line of the joke and show the audience laughing. Meanwhile your sitting on the couch wondering if the movie is going to get better, and are contemplating whether or not to turn it off. I must say, I wish I would have made I sat through which seemed like eternity the two discs, completely bored out of my mind. If you like Dane Cook, rent a vicious circle, it is hilarious, or even Employee of the month, but do not rent and especially do not buy this movie. It will be a complete waste of your money.

One would expect that HBO would want to put their best foot forward in the premiere episode in order to hook people. Well, if Episode 1 was as good as they could get, they've got a real problem.

First of all, the four comedians are really only two comedians: Dane Cook and Gary Gulman. Bobby Kelly and Jay Davis are evidently there just to make the other two look good by comparison. Not that you'll get a lot of looking at their stand-up abilities since the show isn't about that. Actual stand-up makes up mere moments in the half hour. Unfortunately. What you get is a reality show of four jerks on a bus together.

There are evidently 9 episodes, so HBO probably won't cancel it. But if Jay Davis isn't tied to the back of the bus and dragged through, say, Colorado in the first few minutes of Episode 2, I can't see much reason to continue watching.

how did they screw this up? in theory the idea was great. a really good comedian invites some up and coming comedians to go across country with a video crew.

it should have been like a real "entourage". instead I found myself watching 4 surprisingly unlikeable people.

you know how in every survival movie where a bunch of people are thrown together and try to survive a tragedy there always is like 1 obnoxious Person in the bunch that ends up getting people on edge and killed? well imagine a whole bus of that person on the road. they just aren't likable or funny to watch. and I wanted to like this. I just couldn't figure out how it could go so wrong seeing as Dane's act is so funny.

I like Dane, I liked Gary G on Last Comic Standing, and I thought the premise of this had a great title, along with possibilities to spare. I've watched all the available episodes thus far (won't be watching any more, though), and I have to say that the great title is where it ends, folks.

The thing that's the most annoying is how the four of them keep fighting over the most petty things - that scene in the restaurant, for instance, when Gary was a little late and it was turned into some huge ridiculous power-play ego trip by the other 3. We could've done without that, and there have been other equally pathetic scenes that also should have been left out; the show is shamelessly self indulgent, and not in an endearing or creative way either.

The pacing is off, too - it just doesn't have the edge it should have. Instead it feels tired and tedious, with a gigantic 'so what?' factor, and we're not even rooting for them to kill onstage - at least I wasn't. Back to the drawing board on this one, guys.

I rented this from the video store I work at expecting a line-up of comedians on a show. I didn't read the box and I'd never heard of the show. I love Dane Cook and I'm just a big fan of stand-up comedy in general.

Well, I was pleasantly surprised. This show is more than just random comedy - it's similar to the documentary from a few years ago starring Jerry Seinfeld called "Comedian." I've only watched the first six episodes (it's on three separate discs, the third being a 'bonus' disc) and I've been really happy with the fact that, as a reality show, it's doing very well at following these four guys around and explaining what it's like for the guys at this stage in their careers.

It's not wall-to-wall comedy at all - but if you're a fan of Dane Cook, you'll be very happy to have this glimpse into his off-stage personality and see that he is really just a nice guy who is really funny. I'd never heard of the other three (Robert 'Bobby' Kelly, Jay Davis, and Gary Gulman), but I've enjoyed their comedy and their presences as well.

Definitely check this out - even if you're not a Dane Cook fan but enjoy stand-up comedy, it's worth checking out.
