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.

I grew up loving Mr. Show and so it is with a heavy heart I write this review. Bob and David are hilarious, full stop. they understand what comedy is and how it should be written. I do not offend easily usually but I just cant stand for what is presented here. I am a Trans* woman and I in no way speak for the entire community but of the three episodes I've seen thus far two of them take unnecessary, cheap and not-funny pop shots at the trans community. There is nothing about David being a trans woman making commentary on sports at the end of an, otherwise very funny skit, that makes it anymore funny...at all! It is lazy writing and I think they will regret it in the not too distant future. I think we are very close to this kind of half understood comedy being seen exactly as the racist/homophobic comedy of decades past. I'm sorry, you can address any topic in a comical way BUT when you address it without being fluent on it, you open yourself up for (DESERVED) criticism. Comedy is supposed to challenge ideas and be inflammatory to get people to think but I would ask that people consider the people whom they are tearing into before writing their material. When comedy hurts people and makes no valid points or statements...it's just sophomoric garbage and if your laughing at it...then you are what is wrong with the world. :(

I have literally no words for how funny this show was. It began and ended with outrageous amounts of sarcasm and satire which I have not seen before in comedy as often as I would have wished for. The actors are fantastic and create an exciting and humorous environment, yet with a deeper story in some segments that really lured your attention away from the fact that it was comedy. I believe this is due to the fact that these amazing actors work together dynamically enough to create such a unique approach by perfectly executing their roles which in this case is being themselves which I find hilarious. This show makes me wish we had more comedy shows that dared to make satire/sarcastic content such as this which takes great amounts of guts.

Splendid! 10/10

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.

Some smart sketches, other sketches done before but better in other places. I unfortunately did not laugh out loud once. In the making of you can see when there's pitching, there are no real hits... You might get a chuckle out of one of the many people in the room but that's about it.

Something was off with the acting and delivery. Too much time between each other's lines so that the conversations seemed overly unnatural.
