Anyone else watch? Probably the funniest show on TV. Here's an example:

i enjoyed this show a lot initially, and watched it quite often, but it burned out quickly with me for some reason. somehow i just had my fill it just didn't seem as funny after 6-8 episodes.

I watched it once and thought it was painfully unfunny. It's kind of like Jackass without the action and a hipster cast.

As a fan of Seinfeld, The Simpsons, The Larry Sanders Show et al, I've never laughed harder than I do at this show. The mustache clip from Costco is in my pantheon of all time favorites. I cry laughing every time I see it and every episode. Great stuff.

Hipsters? I must not know what that means becasuse there's no way I would've characterized these guys as hipsters. They'd be the first to say they're dorks.

Saw them in Joliet last year. Loved it.

Larry!

I've been avoiding any of their YouTube stuff, in regards to the live shows, just so I have zero expectation of what to expect tonight.

Don't call me a clown. Don't call me mustache!

This is on TruTV, right? So it's completely fake... like even more fake than regular fake shows, right?

Fake or real (I think it's more real than fake), it's funny to me. But no matter how much I try to convince him to watch, my brother isn't a fan, so I know it's not for everyone.

Give it a shot to see if you'll like it. Or don't.

Agree

"OK, now walk up to a bunch of strangers, take of your shirt and ask them to see if you have any bites on your back"

watched it about 5 times for 30 seconds

Nothing funny

How was it? Did they show the Murr video? If you saw it, you know the one I'm talking about.

They showed the Murr video. DISGUSTING! Show was pretty funny. A little too scripted at times. It was funnier when they went off the cuff. I'd see them again.
