Anyone seen this? Watched the first couple episodes, and so far it's hilarious.

I don't know about it. Great movie, and I'm afraid it's just trying to milk the concept for money.

I could not make it past the previews... looks stupid as hell.

 

[Joe Mama]

I've never seen the movie, but I think the show is really funny

Tried watching movie. Couldn’t get through it. The show is hilarious. Season one episode 7 with the tribunal is awesome if you recognize all the members of the tribunal and the references they make.

I loved the movie and have been watching the show but have been on the fence so far. Episode 7 was fantastic though. At first I thought it might have been the season finale with all the cameos and with the original writers/director taking over for this one but it looks like there are a few more left.

 

[Covert Rain]

I might check this out. Never heard of it.

 

[Chaplin]

Just started binging. One of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

So far season 2 is just as hilarious as season 1.

 

[Cheesebeef]

love this show.

 

[Chaplin]

love this show.

The vampire council was fantastic followed 2 eps later by the Orgy, which was bat**** crazy.

 

[Chaplin]

Anybody catch the finale of season 2? The show just keeps on delivering. Funniest thing on tv right now and by a big margin.

i loved this season, but was a little let down by the Finale. They raised the bar too high with last seasons ridiculous Vampire council cameos.

I can see that. But I am so intrigued by Guillermo the Vampire Hunter. And Nandor's line delivery is spot on in every scene.

 

[Southpaw]

I tape it and watch it twice. Once with subtitles and later without. It is hilarious and the drop lines are the best.

Just finished season 2 ep 10. If you don't like to laugh... don't watch this show!

 

[Bada0Bing]

Just started it last night. Reminds me of The Office.

What?

 

[Chaplin]

What?

He MUST mean the style. The humor is MUCH more subversive than the Office ever was.

 

[Bada0Bing]

What?

Haha, not sure if the triple post is an inside joke about the show or if you really don't agree with me.

Exactly. Fake documentary (they even speak directly to the camera and he explains that it's a film crew), the deadpan humor, and how they continuously drop funny lines that almost seem unintentional.

Posting glitch 101 for me. If at first it doesn't post... try try again.


I saw an interview with the cast members and directors/producers. They emphasized the huge factor of improv that goes into the final production. The editors have a ton of editing out to do when the crew breaks up in the middle of an improvised scene.

BTW... WWDITS is a New Zealand made art comedy.

PS... it is up for an Emmy. Jackie Daytona will be present.

 

[Chaplin]

Season 3 is here, and it's just as hilarious. The comic timing is just incredibly good with this cast.

Heavy dose of Colin Robinson in the first two episodes, and FX has completely loosened their censoring -- f-bombs are all over the place especially in episode 1.

This and Ted Lasso are the two best comedies airing right now, bar none.

I kinda felt like Colin Robinson was almost a completely different character in episode 1 of Season 3.

I see what you mean, he seemed the most aggressive he’s ever been. He reverted back to normal a bit in episode 2.

 

[Stout]

I'd love to check it out, but not at $2.99 an episode on demand or buy another streaming service.

 

[Finito]

I love this show. My own little inside joke my Moms contact photo in my phone is Colin Robinson.

that Jackie Daytona episode is pure gold

 

[Stout]

Finally got a chance to see the pilot. It was...okay. A few laugh moments, a few good setups, but nothing nearly as good as the original.

Now I have Hulu for free for a while now, and the two shows I got it for aren't doing much for me. Ah well.
