__ __ __ __ Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Two Black guys doing skits of stereotypical black guys. Something wrong with that. A friend of mine would refer to them as "House Niggas" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroit red Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Shit looks funny.... Workaholics is one of the funniest shows I've seen in a while....so please comedy central, don't let me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup forgot his password Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Black people can't do absurdist comedy. We all know that. Its funny but meh. It's not Community or Workaholics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newer Bigger Better Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Workoholics was much more made like Always Sunny, it was a group of friends that wanted to make a show. This shit seems more like a black version of Michael and Michael, im guessing tosh is gong to have another show to add to his "we'll be back with more (cancelled show here)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightmareOnElmStreet Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 dude....idk, theo mang. are these dudes the gays? not that it would deter me from finding shit funny but just cause i'm not fucking sure. regardless. i havent quite reached the whole finding-black-comics-that-sound-like-they-might-be-just-acting-black-to-sound-funny-thing..funny. whatever that means. it makes sense to me. i never watched snl because it never made me laugh. least not since eddie was making appearances..and even so. i think that style of comedy just never tickled my funny(n/h). sounds wayy to0 scripted and....white. but i'm gonna finish ths drink. watch the steve harvey show and then watch these dudes again and i'll report back on a clearer mind on wtf i am talking about this was kiiiinda lulz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoHuxtable.. Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 I predict this will be a success... watch. The next Chapelle Show. And yeah as EBPH said, it's a sketch comedy along the lines of Michael & Michael. These were the two dudes from MadTV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTheWrongWords Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 This show is good. It's originality and approach but of course only time will tell if it appeals. Shit, Demitri Martin was good but too good for lower thinking (family guy-ists) america... So cancelled. But it's not even that they're black. They use them being black in certain sketches because they fit character but no one dragged Chappelle down for using that or "appealing to white america." The fact that they're black is irrelevant, completely irrelevant. Sucks that that's the first thing ya'll saw and strongly held onto it. Thought ya'll niggas was cool with black culture but apparently cultural crossovers turn ya'll pissy pants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newer Bigger Better Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I've seen both of these dudes before. They aren't funny. I called it a black Michael and Michael because that was another sketch show with two unfunny people that got cancelled quickly. Which is what i assume this will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 i thought it was about 1/2 funny, which is more than i can say about most of comedy central. i'll check back in a season and see if they've grown or just done more of the same.

Fist 666 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 i think its bullshit that all sorts of mud people can run around spouting off about black culture this and that but the moment i bring up the glorious nature of WHITE CULTURE i get called a racist. but seriously, who gives a shit? if being 'down with black culture' means making exceptions for mediocre comedy or faking it to show how 'down with black culture' i am then fuck all of it.

Soup forgot his password Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 This isnt even racial comedy. It's absurdist, MADtv oriented comedy, which I'm not a huge fan of. It's the same as that tall white dude who does the baby impersonation. Not a big fan of that either. Get your comedy genres right faggots. On second thought, I don't mind the concepts of the sketches but the performances are lacking. Im sure the scripts are funny as hell but these dudes are kinda lame. That Car-bow sketch should've been hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup forgot his password Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 haha True. Michael & Michael was just improv turned into sketches. And Michael Ian Black has some hilarious standup material. Jordan Peele's standup: Same kindof deal: funny concept. lacking on the delivery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow your counter-hissy fits. No one called you racist. Being from Texas, I'm all about white culture. Being not white I could care less but I'm always enthused when people are about themselves and their 'roots' (although I hate that phrasing). At any rate, I have very little history of either of these dudes so that may be largely to due with my support of this. It generally looks funny and they're getting a chance to make it big in the comedy world. I support anyone looking to climb ropes, albeit if I agree with their style or delivery.
