4. "he's actually quite Seinfeld-ian as far as subject matter" In response to Reply # 1 Mon Mar-02-09 01:45 PM by The Rapture7
which, in it's could be blamed/thanked for the basis of the hipster mindset, but I like how it's not all about being obscure and abstract, but how miniscule shit is just funny in it's own right

3. "sometimes, they work" In response to Reply # 2
but yeah, I feel you...my only real gripe is the skits...they tend to have that SNL-"we're gonna punch this joke in the face til SOMEbody laughs" effect to them, but he keeps them somewhat brief, and focuses on his stand-up, which I think is his major strength...
overall though, it's probably my favorite sketch show since Chappelle (not saying it's as good, but I really like it)

Haven't heard a new comedian with such a distinctive voice in a long time.

but the show is actually pretty funny. I've watched the frst 2 episodes and thought it was one of the better shows that have come out on Comedy Central in the last while.

I really like his stand-up but I kind of wanted to see him branch out into something different. Try to work it into real life situations ala Seinfeld. I watched the first episode and I liked the stand-up stuff but the sketches were lousy (the Amanda Peet one was especially bad).
The show was funny but something I'm more inclined to check out on the web when I'm bored than sit down and watch at a certain time on TV.
