    This show is simply hilarious

    If you're looking for smart, subtle humor like The Office, then you're looking in the wrong direction. Testees is a crude, absurd, and downright disgusting laugh riot that will make you feel absolutely dirty after watching it.

    The pilot was better than I expected so I watched the episode the week after, and I swear to you, I have never laughed as hard and as loud as I did that night. Never has a show just thrown all their cards on the table like Testees has done. It's not to say that Testees is pure gross out humor, it does have it's subtle humorous moments, but when they go for a laugh, they don't pull any punches.

    It's the perfect compliment for It's Always Sunny.

    Funny and gross

    Well yeah it is gross. It is also funny and fairly original. Each episode is not quite what I think it will be. That alone is fantastic for me.

    When I read the original synopsis a dozen different ideas went through my head of funny anecdotes that I have seen dozens of time before on many, many shows. I was relieved to see they had some original ideas or at least original spins on old ideas. What I am saying is that the humour is not done to death. so even if your an avid TV watcher you should get a few laughs.

    The characters are well developed each with their own style and humour. I hope they stay that way as many series characters tend to blend into one character with different bodies.

    The funniest show since Malcolm in the Middle!

    This feel good and laugh out loud comedy is exactly what I've been waiting for since Malcolm in the Middle finished in 2006. Testees made me laugh so hard, that I started crying. Especially the episodes "Jellybean Omlett" and "Uber Glued" were hilarious.

    This show is crazy and completely implausible - which is a perfect recipe for endless fun. At times the humor can be a bit too much for family viewing so I recommend you watch the show before you are going to view it with your family - otherwise you might feel a little awkward with your kids.

    But otherwise Testees is a well paced show with 2 brilliant actors with good comedic timing. And I really hope this show will produce many seasons of laugh out loud comedy!!!!

    Good Show But could have been KvS S7

    As a Kenny vs. Spenny fan, I of course had to watch this.

    Kenny Hotz's passion project, Testees, could have been Kenny vs. Spenny Season 7, but instead, he got a chance to make this unique series. The premise alone is intriguing: two no-lifes becoming test subjects for a crazy company called Testico. It brings to mind the quirky humor of shows like Better Off Ted.

    I really like the concept of the series-it's great-but the plot and overall execution are good at best. While the scenarios are often hilarious and outrageous, the episodic nature sometimes leads to uneven storytelling. There are moments of brilliance, but also parts that feel underdeveloped.

    Jeff Kassel and Steve Markle did a great job acting in this series. Their chemistry and comedic timing elevate the material, making even the most absurd situations entertaining. Their ability to fully commit to their roles adds a layer of authenticity to the offbeat humor.

    Despite its flaws, Testees is a fun watch, especially for fans of Kenny Hotz's unique brand of comedy. It's a wild ride through bizarre experiments and absurd situations, showcasing Hotz's distinctive voice in the world of comedy.

    Overall, Testees is a solid effort with a great concept, some genuinely funny moments, and strong performances from its leads. It's a shame it didn't get more attention, as it had the potential to become a cult classic.

    Brilliant, hilarious, unique new series!!

    I'm so glad to see I'm not the only person who absolutely loves this show! I love the quick witty dialogue and the casting is perfect. It's been a while since I've been pushed to tears from laughing so incredibly hard..brilliant stuff. It's definitely crude and gross at times, but that's what makes the show so funny. I really can't see how this show's content would offend anybody any more than some of the other things I regularly see on television. I really hope FX keeps this show for at least a few more seasons! Unfortunately, I've been seeing way too many unique and amazing shows being canceled entirely too soon, barely getting a chance to make it through its first season... Testees is honestly one of the funniest things on TV right now, in my opinion. I hope it sticks around for awhile!
