Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

petecrimson00 I can honestly say I can deal with garbage humor, if it at least is funny! it seems like this show thinks they're so innovative by trying to make humor out of things that simply are not funny. Seriously, I have laughed harder at the people writing the reviews of this saying its genius than I ever will at this show. It's toilet humor, and it's not even funny toilet humor. Out of all the shows they could choose to put on, how this even is on the list amazes me. the "spinoff" with Steve Brule is just as bad, if not worse. Some seemingly mentally handicapped man saying stupid crap for 10 minutes. If you want an actually funny show, watch Loiter Squad. Not everything looks like it was filmed like a potato like with this show, and the humor makes sense. I would rather watch paint dry than this, and I'm not exaggerating. Horrible, 0/10

tlo1221 Look, I completely sympathize with people who don't understand why this show is getting a 10/10 rating. I, along with most people, had to be ushered into this form of art. It is a form of art that most people aren't accustomed to. I want to try and make sure you, the reader, see that it is actually a very sophisticated form of art. I want others to like it because I feel understanding all forms of comedy are important and crucial to understanding what makes comedy what it is.One thing I always tell someone who is unresponsive to T&E is to look at other forms of art that reflect similar goals. To look at Picasso and say it is not a good form of art, or look at the classical pianist Boulez and say he isn't making music is the same as saying T&E is not good comedy. There are many sophisticated, higher forms of art that have a point, but to the untrained eye, look completely bogus and not properly managed.T&E tends to go one of two ways. One way is to make the watcher feel extremely uncomfortable. This is similar to approaches that amazing shows such as The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Louie take. These shows tend to create awkwardness by using society and it's lack of clarity in order to create a situation we cringe at the thought of being in. T&E do this, but achieve it in a very unique way. They can create awkwardness through disturbing contradictions. This can be seen in sketches such as the obviously-on-steroids bodybuilder talking about becoming a mother, or a very pregnant woman singing an attitude driven song (bub-bubs bounce if anyone is familiar). There are more, but these two skits show what awkward humor T&E are getting at. I cringe at socially awkward situations performed well in other shows, but I actually had to try a few times before making it through some of T&E's awkwardness. They do it best... in the most disturbing way possible.The other part of their humor (and the two directions they go in are always overlapped), is based off of low budget absurdity that can be found on any small town public access shows. Public access is legally established by the government to give more expressive rights to people. T&E point out that not all the time is this as great of an idea as it sounds. Most of the time it is taken up by weird people such as Casey and his brother or Richard Dunn with any of the talk shows they have given him. Some of them are showing how absurd similar real life experiences are (see the Paynus Brothers sketch and then watch Entertainment Tonight talking with someone like the Jonas Brothers... They are saying something, not just saying "PENIS" and hoping someone laughs). The absurdities are definitely unique, and if they weren't, Nick Swardson's pretend time or all the dozens of other shows that try to approach absurd humor, would be loved by everyone. Those shows lack what T&E established: creativity. Whether you enjoy it or not, most people would agree it is something that they didn't see coming. That, to me, is the definition of creativity. A Absurd humor is difficult to become accustomed to, and much harder to create. Criticizing T&E is just like looking at a piece of artwork by many great artists and saying "It looks like they just threw paint on a canvas and called it art. I can do that!". That's fine, I did that too. It's somewhat of an acquired taste and the rest is just understanding what is good and what is not good on an almost instinctual basis. The only way to specifically demonstrate that is by analyzing it on a frame by frame basis. If any show makes me think something new, does something I don't think I could have done without a lot of hard work, and there is the ability to analyze on a frame by frame basis, I consider it a well made piece of art. T&E does just that. Like I said, I sympathize completely, but I really need to assure you that it does hold value and only on a subjective viewpoint can you learn to love it. No one I know that likes T&E "got it" from the start. If you don't get it, you can with some patience and hard thinking.

lil_mantooth Its the best show on TV for me. But again like everyone is saying its not for everyone on purpose. They keep getting funnier season by season, and season one is hilarious.and for the naysayers saying don't watch it it isn't funny..... Why do Ben stiller, will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, john c Reilly, Michael cera, Ted danson, David cross, will forte, john mayor, Elisha Cuthbert, Rainn Wilson, The lonely island, Bill Hader, and Zach Galifianakis get on the show? Because people with a great sense of humor love the show. If you haven't't seen it watch it and enjoy the ride!!! And if you don't like it....then good more show for me.

sheepherder1234-1 Randomness can be funny when done correctly, however just being random doesn't automatically mean that something is funny. I watched numerous episodes on many different occasions to try to give this show a fair chance and to see what all of the fuss was about. What a waste of time. This show seems to be compiled of sketches where the writers feel that if they put down the first thing that pops into their head then it will automatically be funny.I've heard people describe this show as being "genius" or "ground breaking" and telling people that if they dislike it they just don't "get it" and must be into lame, predictable comedy. Hardly. This show is typically liked by hipsters who fancy themselves to be on the cutting edge of comedy and think that the more absurd or nonsensical something is, the more intelligent and genius it is. Kind of like people who go to modern art shows and rave about what a genius someone was for putting a snow shovel out on display as a work of art.The series is filled with just a bunch of random things happening that are supposed to be funny just because they're random. Here's an example: Two men are sitting in a restaurant having an orange juice drinking contest. One man, a plumber, drinks so much orange juice that he turns into a giant chicken. The other man, dressed as a graduate, drinks so much orange juice that he begins vomiting uncontrollably. Then the plumber-turned-chicken runs across the room and dives headfirst into a stack of yellow rubber duckies. The end. That was something I wrote off of the top of my head that is in a similar vein to the skits shown on this horrible series. Hardly genius, just completely stupid.As I stated earlier, randomness can be funny when it's done correctly (examples are Stella, Aqua Teen, and of course Monty Python, etc). Simply throwing a bunch of random things out there and calling it a comedy sketch is anything but funny or genius.
