    a good-weird IFC talk show

    This was exactly what I expected from the commercials. It's goofy, ridiculous, and Reggie Watts is in it. Reggie and Scott have great banter.

    Best part of the show, Reggie Watts doing the soundtrack to the ridiculousness, he's awesome. The guests are great, they're all in on it but they do a great "straight humor" routine. There's plenty of talk-show self-deprecating humor, it's great clever satire.

    If you think it's too silly, you're expecting too much out of it. Just accept it for what it is.

    I've seen every episode from the beginning and each one has something worth watching for. It's 30 minutes and much more hit than miss, you'll know by the end of the opening monologue if the show is for you.

    If you like corny, surreal humor, that successfully pulls off repetition and satire, you'll have fun. Just relax, s a bowl and enjoy.

    Random humor. Next to offbeat it's my favorite kind of humor.

    Let's start by recognizing that Comedy Bang Bang is made for comedy connoisseurs. This is the American talk show deconstructed: it is not so important that you "laugh" so much as you appreciate the aesthetics of the bit; it is not so concerned with jokes as it is concerned with the technique and form of jokes. Disagree? Look, it cannot be a coincidence that the season one guest lineup is a virtual Algonquin Round Table of all the major figures in the alt comedy scene: Galifianakis, Poehler, Oswalt, Tompkins, Helms, Rogen, Odenkirk, Forte, Kroll, Rudd, Barry, Arnett, Cera, Koechner, Cross, Black, Scott, Lennon, Scheer … and you get the sense that this is the kind of material that they would perform for each other if there were no audience around: esoteric, experimental, and with a healthy amount of self-aware meta-humor. This is, in other words, hard-edged alternative comedy for the dedicated enthusiast, not the more palatable and softened version that you get from, e.g., Portlandia, Parks and Recreation, etc. Indeed, that most viewers will find this show alienating is kind of the point – a big part of the reason that one out of ten people will love this show is because they know the other nine are going to hate it. Add to that great chemistry between Scott Aukerman and Reggie Watts and pitch-perfect character performances from both and you have, in my opinion, the most consistently interesting television that I have seen in years. Hey, one out of ten people can't be wrong, no?

    A type of humor not everyone will get- But I get it!

    This show falls into a different category of humor- and based on the reviews, I'm going to guess that it is an obscure sense of humor that many people do not get. However, I get it, and I love it! If someone doesn't understand it, it doesn't make the show bad- it just means its not in your taste. This show has famous actors and actresses who obviously understand the humor and are okay with being a part of it...so HA!

    I would say, if you liked Arrested Development (the original ones), if you can watch a Reggie Watts special, if you like Mr Show with Bob and David, Children's Hospital and other Adult Swim shows, you would probably like this show.

    Don't let the other reviews scare you off! Its odd humor, but if you're into that sort of thing watch this show. The Ed Helms episode is worth your time!

    I like how OK it is.

    I cant really tell if I like this show or not, and I think I like that.

    In one word - unique!

    One thing is certain - this show is unpredictable! Its humor is random but amazingly good at it. The writers did a great job at mocking talk shows, creating in the process an original piece of art, unique kind of show filled with great jokes, unexpected story twists, satirical segments, hilarious guests and, last but not least, continuous silly word play including host's name. I also have to mention that creator/host Scott Aukerman is amazing at mocking TV hosts, doing that both subtly and obviously. Reggie Watts fits in perfectly with his unique style; he made me laugh so many times with his 3 second songs. I love this show, it's refreshing, but it does require a special sense of humor to appreciate it, I don't believe that many people would like it. But those who do, they will LOVE it! I give it 9/10 just because there were couple of episodes that felt "off" to me. But definitely - a must watch.
