Real Rob

I really don't know what is about this show it's dry and silly stupid it even gets irritating at points but I can't stop watching it I binged season 1 in a day and watched 6 episodes of season 2 the next day and I still can't work out why. Maybe that's part of its charm.

Rob Schneider and his trophy wife Patricia are writing, directing and starring the over-the-top (yet deliberately pretending to be casual) "reality" comedy called "Real Rob".

The situations are impossible (for example Rob forces his assistant to have a ...vasectomy, just to see how he feels, before he does one himself!) in an effort to parody the life of Hollywood celebrities and the special treatment they usually get.

It is funny, but sometimes it crosses the line to absurd and ridiculous.

It has a bright photography (that I like) and good rhythm but because of the single camera setup, there are countless continuity errors that might become distractive. Just saw the 5th episode and his assistant is talking to Rob's wife wearing a hat, sunglasses and a ...fake mustache and in every cut he is wearing a completely different combination of them! (Yet someone might find funny these goofs and laugh even more.) The 1st season consists of only 8 episodes. Hopefully it might get a 2nd season although there is a possibility to become repetitive.

Overall: Silly yet funny. I'll keep watching...

Someone obviously watched a lot of "curb your enthusiasm"....problem is, when you are not a comedic genius & try to give your show some "street cred" with live cutaways to your stand up...which is as observational and funny as a new comic anywhere near you... He was cute in Dr Dredd I guess... But when there is a "stalker..and it is about as believable as a stalker for a dancer in a Nickel Back video. .This is comedy garbage..so, my opinion only..clumsy nonsense.

This show has some good laughs in it, but occasionally they drop in a scene that is just terrible. If you want a little over-the-top, silly comedy that can be a bit inappropriate and awkward at times, but laugh-out-loud funny, this is something that might interest you. It has Rob's sense of humor throughout, but occasionally the acting is a little bland; but for the most part everyone does great. The show parodies the life, and privilege, of being a celebrity in Hollywood, and does so by intentionally being both over-the-top and pompous, but in some ways more realistic than some want to admit. It really leans on the celebrity perspective and uses that to absurdity. It has the feel of a show that will only get better as it matures, I definitely enjoyed the laughs and I hope you do as well.

I love Rob, I do. I loved him on SNL, Men Behaving Badly, most of his Adam Sandler stuff, and even his earlier movies (especially Hot Chick). But this show is the worst thing I have seen him on. It is in the guise of a camera following Rob around. On this show he is just a grouchy old man. Nothing that made him appealing in anything I stated beforehand is shining thru in Rob's personality. Rob feels he has to say the F word every other sentence and there is nothing funny. Typical joke, Rob convinces his high assistant to get a vasectomy in his place. Why he would do that and why Rob convinces him to do it is beyond me. Rob's projects get worse and worse. I'd take him on ROB with Cheech Marin over this. All this show does is make me like Rob less than I did before...and I really used to like him. Rob has totally lost his career direction. I did make it through Season 1, but not wasting my time on the second season.
