Beef House

You can't really go into Beef House expecting the same kind of gags as Awesome Show, nor can you go into it expecting a full on satire of Full House. It is somewhere in between, but I think in a creative way. A lot of the set ups are very traditionally sitcom, for example in the second episode, Tim wants to get with the hot neighbor so the Beef Boys help him out with an elaborate scheme. I feel like I've seen this exact story line a hundred times, but when Beef House does it, it at the same times points out he absurdity of it. The solutions that the Beef Boys come up with are extreme and very Tim and Eric, but don't really feel forced except for that "everything if forced" sitcom way. Maybe I've watched to much television or I'm reading into subtext that isn't there, but I've had a pretty good time watching the few episodes that have been released so far and I think it has the potential to be just as good as Bedtime Stories (season 2) turned out.

I honestly can't tell if this show is good or not but it's impossible to stop watching. It's so surreal and strange, and has consistently made me laugh without fail every episode.

Can't believe I'm saying this but I don't really understand this show. I'm a huge fan of their other work. It's like a parody of a sitcom, but it doesn't go too far into actually being a parody of have any of their signature surrealism, so it isn't funny in that sense, but because it's not trying to be a legitimate sitcom it also isn't funny in that sense. It's just in this middle ground of...nothing. There's occasional moments where it almost commits to the joke and then it backs off. Maybe it's too subtle for me idk.

Listen, I can't blame people who hate this show. Watching it expecting meaningful substance will be disappointed. The show absurd and monumentally stupid. Even from a parody standpoint........it's absurd and monumentally stupid. However, this creates a situation where it's funny deconstructed to it's simplest form. Tim and Eric COULD of made a more structured parody of a sitcom and it would of been fine. Problem is we have seen parody's like this made over and over again. This show is made with typical family sitcom tropes but with little regard to making something that would make a mass audience happy. If it does please a mass audience then fine. It seems to me though that they make these episodes thinking "this would be hilarious and SO TRUE to family sitcoms!" but fail to ask anybody else if it's funny because they are going to make it anyway. In the end, all this makes a good show that this world needs more of.

An absolute blast to watch. Lots of fun, lots of laffs. Where's the beef? HERE'S the Beef!
