Francisco Colon I love this show so much! Billy's jokes are so funny and his dramatic, unapologetic character adds more to the comedy! I recommend this show to people who are interested in pop culture and / or exaggerated acts in public with other people. I love Billy Eichner so much!!
thedude-55157 This show takes a while to first understand and then appreciate. If you are in need of instant gratification, move along and keep your BS comments about this being garbage to yourself. Tru-TV is the land of TV refuse and this show is at least fun and the most real of any of them. I enjoy seeing the antics of Billy Eichner - who is by no means gentle with anyone he meets doing the show (I don't think this is an act-- he seems to actually get PO'd at people and will eviscerate them). The celebrity guest appearances are sort of random but mostly of actors/comedians he's worked with on Parks and Recreation, his recent project "Difficult People" on Hulu, or from SNL, with the occasional celebs who just happen to live in NYC. Best part of those appearances though is that they are clearly NOT SCRIPTED. I find that refreshing as for once we get to see them actually have to think and speak their mind. Best of all are the menagerie of people he interacts with who are just "normal" (tic) average NYC people anyone could run into. Yes-- he can be a little over the top on some of his opinions, reactions, yelling, scaring people as he surprise approaches them. But part of the fun is you never know what little comment is about to set him off.If that isn't fun for you-- don't watch it and don't sit there demanding that THIS SHOW is somehow the worst thing on TV and needs to be pulled. That is insanity. There are so many other TV shows that are 100% pure hot garbage that ARE SCRIPTED REALITY. Why pick on a show that is for the most part fluid, unique, and interesting?
dougbrown-85858 This show sucks! It needs to come off the air. It's pointless comedy that shouldn't even be called comedy. The Impractical Jokers and The Carbanaro Effect should have all of the air time on Tru TV. This show shouldn't have been approved to be on this channel. It is not funny like the other shows. What is even the point of the show, it is supposed to be funny which its not and he is just spending an hour insulting people and being obnoxious. I would actually like to know what kind of person thinks this is good humor. Take it down its annoying!! I would really appreciate this being taken seriously because I enjoy watching Tru TV and this show is ruining it!
ebayman123456 Obnoxious? Yes, Rude? Yes This does not make this show bad, it's what makes it good. -He puts people in very awkward situations and it's amazing seeing how it turns out. Peoples reactions toward Billy can be downright hilarious(negative or positive)-The questions he asks are completely insane and weirdActor/celebrity look like they have fun and is always fun to watch -Billy is frenetic and extremely fast paced which I can see turning people away. He makes some viewers I know very anxious. I personally love it. Personally I think he's hilarious and can have some genius moments. Don't hate on him just yet. Give him some time, some things he says are unreal. If your against gays or don't like New Yorkers don't watch the show :). I love when he pokes fun at gays because it shows how real he is, being gay himself. Fun questions, hilarious reactions, crude moments, game show host berating people, lots of yelling. These are some of the things you'll see on Billy on the street. Greatttt show! 8/10
