Funny, but not for everybody

A great, quirky little show with funny characters and situations more than out-and-out jokes. Not for everybody, but great for those who can get into it.

Probably the weirdest show on television, and that's saying something. If you can dig it's odd sense of humor and bizarre premise, though, you'll find a show that hits more often than it misses. Certainly it's not for everyone; it's big on Dead Baby Comedy, Crosses The Line Twice and Overly Long Gag as well as a penchant for very little actually happening, but if you like conceptual, character-based humor and can take joy in comedic sociopathy, you'll enjoy most of it.

A few caveats: the show takes some time to get into, and until you understand the characters you probably won't like it. Some of the episodes are only really funny on second viewing, and some of them are just plain bad. The show is also generally funny in short bursts; it's ten minutes long for a reason. Trying to do an extended binge is not recommended unless you're a huge fan.

Overall, I'd say thumbs up to this one, but be warned that it's not for everybody and it might take awhile for you to get into it.

I hate reviews that try to generalize the whole show into one. Because, let's be honest, it's been a lot worse ever since season 4. The first 3 seasons rely less on Dead Baby Comedy and are generally a lot funnier. Plus, this show is definitely not the weirdest show on television.

Yep, not the weirdest and the first three seasons were indeed gold. If you are only going to generalize then it kind of makes reviewing pointless.
