John Mulaney et les kids

Mulaney and the Sack Bunch Lunch holds up a mirror to our childhood nostalgia for:Sesame Street, Barney, the muppets, etc It kind of twists that desire for childhood innocence a little bit, but not so much that children couldn't have fun with it. The honesty of the children is endlessly amusing, but the setup of the bits, and the irony that Mulaney's delivery and the writing sets the show up makes it more fun for adults than it could ever be for children.

It's cute. It's charming. It makes me question the motives of the people who made shows for my childhood, and I think that's beautiful.

Essentially a contemporary version of those 70s Xmas variety specials headed by a singer or comic. I'm not really sure who this show is for, but it was pleasant and at times genuinely funny. David Byrne's duet with one of the kids was a highlight, and Andre De Shields' number was a treat as well, and hit the mark comedically. I watched it with my kids, 13 and 15, both fans of Mulaney. I'm a late Dad, so the style references were very much aimed at my age range... I remember the shows Mulaney is gently mocking quite well. My kids got the joke(s), but i think got a bit weary of it about half way through. My 13 year old said when it was over, "I think it would have been funnier if it was just John Mulaney." Well, yeah. I appreciated the gentle tone and the little surprises... your mileage may vary.

I'm a big fan of John Mulaney but this was pretty boring. There were a couple chuckles throughout and some of the kids were great but the whole special was bland . I give it an 7 because the ending musical number is by far the best part and makes the whole process worth it

It was very funny.

The kids seemed passionate and excited to be there.

While one or two songs didn't really hit the mark, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this.

Please give John Mullaney more money to make things please

I'm just entirely too emotional these past few months, and while I'm not really a fan of kids in general, this was pretty dang cute. I wanted to shake the hand of all of those child actors. And I love John Mulaney's work, so it was a satisfying hour of "lol wat?!" :)
