    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!

    This show is the one of the best on 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.

    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.

    Hilarious

    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.

    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!

      [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.
