    Where's the comedy?!?!?

    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.

    Here's the comedy

    I actually really enjoy this programme! The pilot was difficult to get into but I really get it now and I think it's really really funny! The jokes are smart where i think you can watch it a second time and probably catch more!

    This combines a sitcom story-line with a genius mix of (i guess) real life expressions on the faces of by standers as the crew make muppets of themselves!

    I wanted to compare it with the Ali G show... and i just found out it was created by the same person who brought us that! So I think it's fair to say if you like ALi G... you'll like this!

    Come on people!

    This show is hilarious! I admit that when I first saw the commercials I thought it looked stupid but after seeing the first episode I was hooked. the improv style of the show is just hilarious and the fact that the only people that know it's a show are the fake newscrew makes this even better. People if this show goes off the air and then you "discover" it don't come back and bitch. If you like Reno 911 and the daily show you will like this show. Please people watch it now so that zack gallifinackis can keep this job. The show isn't perfect but it's 100% better than most of the other crap on T.V. I mean you could watch this or maybe America's got Talent. Please...watch this show now...don't wait till the DVD comes out.

    I think it's funny...

    I don't know....maybe now that I'm in my 30's I am regressing. I think this show is funny. Some of the lines are of such basic lowbrow humor, I find myself laughing out loud. They speak to each other like I do with my friends. Wait a minute...I guess that means I have a bad sense of humor! Oh well, i stick by my comment. Being a fan of Zach's, I find his character right on. It's a far cry from his character on Tru Calling. He had a special on Comedy Central though, that is right up there with his Alan character. I would like to see more of him. The actors do a great job feeding off each others' lines. This show is so dry at times, I cannot tell what's been scripted. If this is how news is actually made (and I sometimes think it is), we're in a lot of trouble!

    When It's Always Sunny met Eric Andre

    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!

      [at a racial sensitivity seminar]

      Marty Shonson: Well, I have definitely looked down the double-barrel of the racist shotgun... in that I was made fun of a lot when I was a youngster for

      [pointing to his red hair]

      Marty Shonson: the old cinnamon bush up top. And uh, you know they called me all kinds of names. You know: carrot top, cinnamon top, copper top, cheeto head, cheeto top, butt pirate, ginger snap.

      Kevin Beekin: I don't think, uh..."butt pirate" is referring to your red hair. It's a slang for gay people.

      Marty Shonson: I think it refers more to pirates being of Danish decent, the Vikings and whatnot, they were red-haired. And I think the "butt" part is just sort of adding insult to injury. You know, sort of a seaman taunt.

      Tillie Sullivan: It becomes the pirate, the reference is it's referring to pillaging butts.
