Moments of hilarity and Allstonerian sketchiness

"NY is where you go if you are somebody. LA is where you go if you wanna be somebody. Boston is where you go if you wanna hang out with a bunch of nobodies." -anonymous

Rob Potylo really had a vision and some amazing local talents worked on this show. He is the weakest link unfortunately. He reuses his jokes to death and never lets them go. Is the "McRib is back" still posted every few months? Is "sings to lady cop" still going strong?

Anyway, after his Robby Roadsteamer character ran out of gas and he needed an outlet, he put together this hit and miss show, which as a local Allstonian, has its charms and kudos to him for his drive to create and ability to get people to work with him. You may notice though that basically every season has different people working on it, with a few recurring cast members and characters. He can be tough to work with and even bailed on the people in the show once he was done with them. Lame.

But artists gotta art and amazingly for a guy who couldn't afford rent he was able to move all the way across country to LA since he ran out of Boston area people to exploit. Weak.

Watch it on YouTube if you like underground sketch comedy, many of the cast really gave it their all. (I didn't, my bad)
