TattedA The Funniest, smartest, and most original show ever on television. It's a crime that they took this show of the air, but Comedy Central has no problem showing you 12 reruns of SNL in a day. If you haven't seen the show, do yourself a favor and pick up season 1 on DVD. You will never laugh harder in your life.I really hope they follow up with seasons two and three. The show only got funnier over time. One of the best ones is the cyborg episode from season one. The show trumps every other show that is or was on Comedy Central. Saying no to this show is saying no to America, and babies. But mostly America.
DemiMooreisHOT Everything about this show made me laugh. This was one of the funniest show I have ever seen. I can't even explain it, you just need to see it for yourself.I hope they put it on DVD if they haven't (doubt they will but i can still dream...)
Nirvanabreed5944-1 The people who don't like this show always use vague examples such as "not funny" and "bad writing". I think it's because they just can't find something funny that isn't filled with celebrity references and cameos to keep their attention. Now, I'm a huge fan of shows with those types of references... "The Simpsons", "The Critic", "South Park", but I'll remember sketches such as the Ugly Club, and Pro Thunderball far longer than I'll ever remember a cheap one liner about Barbara Streisand.
wolf008 UCB was sketch comedy at a new level, especially when compared to the banality of the modern bit show. The writers and cast presented skits that other productions would have disregarded as too "sophisticated", or just too unorthodox. In doing so, I feel they explored the limits of sketch comedy and brought us closer to the edge of the surreal, better than any comedy production today. The "Brigade" is bent on causing chaos everywhere they venture to, and they do not disappoint. From Santa forcing a man to take sample of his "Santa Liquor", to an authoritarian school bus driver, crushing a children's revolution with her backside.Now, the dialog was very suggestive and risqué at times, but the writing is non the less very creative. I feel that it is necessary to ignore the sometimes superfluous vulgarity's in order to "get" this show, particularly if you have dismissed it for being too odious. The UCB, in their creativeness and witty verbiage, have heavily diluted the crudeness to which a story is presented. I guess this is comparative to another comedy central production, "South Park", where you just have to ignore or look beyond what offends you, to appreciate what really is being presented to us. Most important the UCB was there to entertain, and cause us laughter, and this they did with alacrity.It ended it's run in 2000, and is still missed 6 years later.
