It's funny I can check a box to say if this review contains spoilers to a show that Comedy Central spoils every single commercial break. To enjoy this show to it's fullest, just avoid watching Comedy Central's commercial breaks all together. Aside from that, MMHI is a show that is much more than just two guys hating each other. The pilot introduces this concept just to sink it in (as if the commercials didn't do that already), but after watching the second episode, MMHI is solely a stand out sitcom with skits and appearances on stage in between. To Michael and Michael's credit, they succeed at all three of these, which is not easy to do. If this show stays on par with episode two, it has potential.
Even advertising this show during South park will not save this show from it's inevitable cancellation. The show is not funny, the content is not funny, the writing is not funny, and the stars of the show are just annoying. Comedy Central really failed with this one for a few reason's. Totally unoriginal content being portrayed by comedian's who do food commercials is fail. After giving us comedy staples such as South Park, Reno 911, John Stewart, Steven Colbert, and the most recent success of Sarah Silverman they give us this? Give the show two months and gone. Don't waste your time here. If this is Comedy Central's response to "Tim and Eric's Awesome Show Great Job" they are way off.
I gave this show a chance seeing as Comedy Central is trying very very hard to get people to watch it. With that being said I would like that thirty minutes of my life back please. The characters come off as tools. There is just not any laugh out loud moment's. It's not just the writing it's Micheal and Michael's unsavory characters. So they have issues, that is not enough to deliver, this is not Seinfeld. As the above poster pointed out this show won't last very long if even through the first season. I can only hope it comes sooner as the commercials for it hurt my brain. Oh and a word to Comedy Central, next time you choose to make a show get comedians not bad commercial actor's. Try Katt Williams, he has talent.
not really funny, even tho i like the mike black guy he is relativity funny in other things, such as reno911 as the cancer patient or in Stella, even tho Stella was dry and boring too and not funny....mike black is almost funny and the other guy is just terrible, i agree the premise for this show is horrible and will most likely be cancelled soon, but if their are idiots who like the crap show"hotbox" or "sarah Silverman" you still wont enjoy this crap.....you will if you have a paper thin personality and are amused very very very easily.., comedy central has hits such as south park, jon dore television show, reno911 dailyshow and colbert.....this misses the mark bad and whoever put the show hotbox together needs to be shot on site, thats show is pitiful and not funny one bit, i love slapstick stupid but clever comedy an this nor sarah sivermal, hotbox or Stella are in the same league as these other shows maybe not even the same spots......a few make us laugh and a few make me cringe this is one of them,,,
You stooges that got this show tin canned. Thanks. A. Lot. Say whatever, but you obviously don't have a funny bone in your body or you would have got some great laughs from this show! It was a gem that I would've loved to see blossom, but now I wont.
The 7 eps are still totally 100% worth a watch!
I reckon if Comedy Central added it to their line up today as a new show, it would be a hit. That said I do feel Comedy Central went downhill around the years this was on. Perhaps if some of their other shows had have performed better they could have given this a better chance to find it's audience. Nowadays, with the internet and all the streaming, someone needs to find a better way to get ratings.
Pity this never had a chance thanks to (I'm guessing) some Michael haters.
