Very disappointed :(

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed watching every episode of Commercial Kings. Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal are multi-talented and bring a down to earth feel with lots of laughs. They have a natural situational nuanced comedic feel and can come up with great lines on the spot. I was often surprised how these two guys could draw people out of themselves to make amazing commercials. The show isn't very predictable because they work with real people and often the interactions between the hosts and business people are very raw. It is a great experience to go behind the scenes in the production process and then see the final product of a commercial at the end. The concept of the show is very original and it seems like it is actually helping small businesses. They have handled their transition from internet giants to television with much promise. I hope to see them next season.

Unlike millions of other people, I had actually never seen any of Rhett and Link's videos before I stumbled upon Commercial Kings. I was charmed right away! I found the show to be clever and original. Rhett and Link are both incredibly likable, not to mention hilarious. The owners of the local businesses are always interesting, unique characters who truly seem to appreciate the work Rhett and Link do for them. I always feel a bit optimistic at the end of the show, knowing that their hysterical commercial is really going to help business for some grateful people (I know I would visit a local venue after seeing one of those commercials!). I enjoyed Commercial Kings so much that I spent the rest of my day watching all of Rhett and Link's online videos (I found them to be as creative and funny as their show).I would definitely recommend Commercial Kings!

I had to say, I wasn't sure how Commercial Kings was going to turn out when I first heard about it being announced. I watched Rhett and Link's internet videos constantly and enjoyed them, but I didn't think that their transition to the television would work out.I was wrong.This show has a unique charm and humor that feels natural. Not in a while have I genuinely enjoyed a show for its wittiness. Rhett and Link have a presence that evidently conveys their passion for what they do.All in all, it's on IFC, give it a watch. Commercial Kings is a fun ride.
