That Damn Michael Che

A fantastic, creative take on political America. Michael Che's personal opinions are the center of the show, and it is very remeniscint of his stand up.

Yet the show is consistently 80% awful, juvenile and often downright lame. It confuses me why there is such great talent and great writers - this show and 'I Think You Should Leave' are the 2 best examples of how great ideas, great writing and great execution make for a great show. I worried that this might not be consistent, onlyb ecause I was howling laughing through the first episode but it really maintains the great writing - and it's so great seeing the comedians featured.

Genuinely good sketch comedy shows are very very rare and trying to compare every one of them to Chappelle's Show is just an impossible bar to set. That being said, even Chappelle's Show had a few bits that didn't land either, it's just that it had more hits than misses and the high points were some all time greats.

So no, That Damn Michael Che isn't the next Chappelle's Show, but it's better than any other sketch comedy show I've seen since. It often feels like they forgot how to make a good sketch comedy seen since it and Little Britain finished back in the mid-2000s. This is the first sketch comedy series I've found since that gave me some regular moments where I would crack up laughing at some of the bits. I also like the way that some of the bits continue through the entire episode.

Well done Michael Che, I hope there are a few more series left in the tank.

If you have dry, off hand humor, this show will be funny to you. If you're kind of uptight & prefer fluffy humor, you won't. Like... these reviews were so dramatic lol but it's actually funny. This isn't SNL, this is specific to michael che. He made it clear that he has a dry sort of humor so idk why you'd expect anything different from HIS OWN SHOW. I laugh on every episode & i don't feel it's a ripoff of the chappelle show. I like dave chappelle too but michael che is his own comedian. Comparison is a thief of enjoyment!

Michael Che does a half hour comedy show dealing with real world issues and with his style of sardonic humor to outlandish levels.

I know Michael Che only from SNL. I don't watch his standup. Still, I get his sense of humor and this show is all him. At least, it has his brand of comedy. I don't know how much of his life he's using. It is serious with the material but he spins it with wild humor. It lasted two seasons of only six episodes each. The obvious comparison is Atlanta or Chapelle. This is not quite up to that level. It is not as artistic as Atlanta or as hilarious as Chapelle. It is still very good.
