Tremendously intelligent and funny show!

This has to be one of the funniest programs on television. The actors are all VERY natural and are able to deliver subtle, yet hilarious comments throughout the show. It follows closely in the footsteps of shows and movies such as "The Office" and "Best in Show." It is easily one of the best programs Comedy Central has created. If you don't find "Dog Bites Man" funny, it's likely because you do not have a dry sense of humor. The comedy isn't slapstick, in your face, or obnoxious, but mature. Some of the jokes and cracks made are truly hilarious, but it may take you a second to get it. One of the actors in the show, Zach Galifianakis, appeared in the Comedy Central movie and documentary "Comedians of Comedy." His humor as a comedian comes through greatly in "Dog Bites Man." I would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys sarcasm. However, if you are the type that would rather see a pie thrown in someone's face or fart jokes, "Dog Bites Man" most definitely will not be for you.
