Dog Bites Man

I frequent the UCB Theatre and the other day I finally got to see the UCB 4 together for the first time. They are amazing. I am so happy that this show is doing well and I love MATT WALSH (he's my favorite of the 4).

The most important thing that you have to remember about the show is that ALL, let me repeat that, ALL of the dialog is IMPROVISED. Every scene has its goals but the show is 90% improv. The comedy is quick and SMART, instead of Dane Cook crap. This is comedy at its best.

The show provides a nice change from other Comedy Central shows (ie. Blue Collar TV) and is probably most similar to Reno 911 (i'm not sure if that is improvised).

Don't CANCEL THIS COMEDY CENTRAL!!!

The Daily Show, Colbert Report, and Man Bites Dog. (Chappelle Show is over) Don't listen to Schlagerman, if this show doesn't make you laugh at least once you don't know comedy. I can't stop laughing when I watch it. All of the actors are amazing, and keep in mind that the majority of this show is improv. You have four ingenious comics just rolling with it and playing off each other. I am amazed that they are able to keep in character, it is that funny. Sometimes the reactions of the "straight" people can be slightly uncomfortable, but this is basically an extension of what The Daily Show has been doing for years. If you are into the aforementioned Comedy Central shows, you will love Man Bites Dog. I very highly recommend this show, it is ahead of its time. You won't be disappointed.

Okay, here's the problem I had with this show. I am a huge fan of comedy. I am a professional entertainer whose act relies a great deal on comedy. So there I was, watching a show that is supposed to BE a comedy, on a television network devoted TO comedy, a network that has the word "comedy" in its NAME, and yet I didn't laugh. Not one laugh, chuckle, guffaw, giggle, snicker, snort...nothing. I only gave it two points because the one girl, Andrea Savage, is a hottie. That, and the fact that I was hoping for something to be funny at some point, are the only reasons I watched the first episode all the way through. I am sure when the creators thought up this show, it was a great idea, but unfortunately, this idea just did NOT translate into anything resembling something humorous or funny. Comedy Central: This is the time you should eat your young. Don't allow "Dog Bites Man" to live.

This show is hilarious. It's quick, funny, and original. It subtly and slyly walks the fine line between totally inappropriate, and completely hilarious. The cast is all great. This show about an incredibly incompetent news crew is a welcome breath of fresh air among all these other faux news/talk shows on Comedy Central. (i.e. "The Daily Show", "The Colbert Report" and that stupid celebrity show that David Spade does.)

Unfortunately "Dog Bites Man" seems to be taking a lot of heat. Don't listen to those who don't get it. Hopefully this one will be around for a while, but watch this before Comedy Central realizes they have something good and cancels it.

And for Matt Walsh fans, this blows Upright Citizen's Brigade out of the water.

This show is brilliant. All the sketches where done in front of people who had no idea they were on a spoof News Show. From a team building retreat, to a metting with a professional PR guy, every sketch is gold. A show with hilarious sketch comedy with an interwoven story. We need something like this in 2020!
