Synopsis

Based on Scott Aukerman’s popular podcast of the same name, COMEDY BANG! BANG! cleverly riffs on the well-known format of the late night talk show, infusing celebrity appearances and comedy sketches with a tinge of the surreal. In each episode, Aukerman engages his guests with unfiltered and improvisational lines of questioning, punctuated by banter and beats provided by bandleader, one-man musical mastermind Reggie Watts, to reinvent the traditional celebrity interview. Packed with character cameos, filmic shorts, sketches and games set amongst an off-beat world, COMEDY BANG! BANG! delivers thirty minutes of absurd laugh-loaded fun featuring some of the biggest names in comedy.

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
glasswoodmetal Reggie watts and Slop Awkward man are hysterical. My only minor complaint is the guests. I love them all to be honest and I'm not saying they were bad choices but. Is someone just going down the list of everyone who had anything to do with wet hot American summer, parks and rec and the office? Sketch comedy doesn't need to suck the D of the comedic elite to be funny but I guess when your pitching the show the people with the $ always want celebrity names for the shows they produce. I'm not gonna pretend I know how Hollywood works but I do know people generally are very motivated by money. I'm done with the review but since IMDb Nazis are forcing me to write more I will oblige so that Scott and Reggie and the crew working on the show know that this guy right here is watching the show and is loving this run on sentence right now!
johnson_evan556 To someone who has never seen this show, heard the pod-casts, and who has no idea who the host is, I would say that it is similar to watching 23 minutes of Zach Galifianakis Between Two Ferns. The humor is "random" humor I guess which pretty much means that it isn't funny. They have two different celebrities on each episode, one as the guest and another playing a random character. The episode I watched included Jenna Fischer and Jason Alexander. Jenna's interview questions included "don't you wish you could go back in time and change the title of your show?" and "Are you Jenna Fischer because you are phishing for my computer passwords?".The rest of the show seems to be improvised where Jason Alexander played what seemed to be a variation of the detective from the Pink Panther.I am pretty sure they record this show in one take and I don't mean that as a compliment. I had watched a few episodes of this show previously and didn't think they were very funny but I decided to give it another chance hoping that maybe by season 3 they would have figured something out but it still seems to be the same random crap from the first season. If you like a show just because you think other people won't like it then you will probably like this. It really is so bad that I am glad it was canceled.
robertrobbierob When I watched the first episode, I was wondering what I was watching. I then watched the second episode and wondered why I was still watching this! Half way through the second episode is when it hit me; this is meant to seem like a bad talk show when talking with the guest. The comedy of it is making fun of how bad talk shows can be, and how the hosts think they can do no wrong. The humor of it can be compared to what I call everyday humor; stuff that happens in everyday life that is funny, but not everyone get's it. It is not a show catering to everyone, and not for people who aren't into the harder styles of comedy(Comedy that the average person usually doesn't understand why it is funny.).They do go out on a lot of limbs in this show, but that is what you do in comedy. I will admit sometimes these chances they take fall flat, but I appreciate their vision. Reggie and Scott are a great duo; they play well off each other, and you feel like it's real when Reggie makes fun of Scott, or when Scott is being sincere about his feeling with Reggie.All around I suggest check it out, because even though I didn't like the first episode, something made me keep watching the second. To me, that means they were still doing something right.
Ron Stuwart The hosts have no sense of humor. There is not very much entertainment value in this show. Their jokes are so dry and lame that it makes me wonder how they got their own show. Cons:-The hosts are terribly dull, and not funny. -They advertise it as being a "comedic fantasy". It's far from it. -They have many chances to be funny in their skits, but they can't. why? because it's starring Reggie and Scott. -Reggie Watts looks like he would be funny, but when he opens his mouth you realize he isn't.Pros: -Sometimes they have interesting guest stars I'm interested in seeing, but for the most part you get the "why the hell am I here?" vibe from them.Overall, the combination of Reggie and Scott is an utter failure, but then again either of them separately is also an utter failure. If I was a guest star on their show I would fire my agent for making me be around those horribly dull comedians and wasting my time. Why is this on TV?
