OK, OK...here's my claim to fame. I would like to coin a new phrase to describe this show's delivery style. It has a bizarre and perhaps refreshing way of using one-liners or zingers as a way of displaying or developing a story or scene by the sole use of one-liners or "zingers".
The "action" is developed almost exclusively by setting up an endless array of punchlines into one long, connected line. The characters reveal their sardonic personalities by minimalist snippets.
You might think it is one-liner heaven or hell. It's a matter of opinion. The whole feeling is surreal, post-modern and a panoply of pastiches and almost stifling to experience.
After 30 minutes, one comes away with the feeling that we've just seen 10 hours of one-liners in virtual time.
Not sure if it will work with most people because one might become weary because of it continually peaking.
You decide....if this "Zing-Com" is worth the time.
