User Reviews

Great Idea and funny material!!

This show is perfect!! Every time you hear a stand-up comic say something funny you instantly try and visualize what they just said. This show does the exact thing...perfectly.

This show is great for introducing you to comics you might not have heard of and also uses one of the best parts of their routines and puts a picture in front of your face. From Dane Cook to John Pinette.

So basically this show is of 2 babies watching TV. What they see on TV is what the comics say. They only use maybe 1 minute or so with each comic before the station is changed and a new comic is introduced. Through this you witness what the situation might have been like and make it funnier with the artwork.

Definitely worth a try for anyone who loves comics or loves to laugh and always in the mood for a good joke. Not everyone will like this show however. Like some other guys posting comments about this show. The artwork isn't the best done and can get annoying some of the time but the comic material is what drives it home. Sadly however this show has been taken off the air and you'll have to wait for re-runs. Or look it up on tuber.
