John Mulaney presenta: Estamos todos en Los Ángeles

This show feels like a nyquil fueled dream that you barely remember and leaves you with feelings of longing, giddiness and slight overwhelm, and you can't exactly pinpoint why. The combination of strong satirical bits, awkwardness, nonsensical/seemingly unconnected interviews with L. A. natives, set dressing and randomly assorted celebrities (that vary in popularity depending on the decade) all come together to make something that feels very chaotic yet very charming and funny.

I personally would love to hear what the goal of this show was when it was being thought up, so that I could get a better understanding of the overall vision. But in spite of a lot of confusion, I absolutely adore this limited time live show. In my opinion, this show captures the unspecific, not talked about, awkward parts of life that everyone is influenced by.

It very well could be that I'm reading deeper meaning within something that is just nonsense and funny for no specific reason. Regardless, I've been laughing much more than I usually do at online entertainment and for some reason the chaos, craziness and nonsense of the show make sense to me and (in a peculiar way) make me feel seen.

It's an odd ball, but I honestly love it in a way that an owner loves their weird mannered and weird looking dog.

Definitely worth a watch.

This show is an utterly unique and captivating blend of the perfectly weird, lovely, and strange, creating an experience unlike any other on television. From the very first episode, I found myself thoroughly enjoying every second of its delightful quirkiness, completely engrossed in its offbeat charm and unpredictable plot twists. The characters are wonderfully eccentric, each bringing their own flavor of oddity that adds to the show's rich tapestry of storytelling.

What makes this show truly special is its ability to serve as a perfect representation of the eccentric and vibrant city we call home. It captures the essence of our city's charm and oddities in a way that feels both authentic and fantastical. The streets, the landmarks, and the everyday encounters depicted in the show are all infused with a sense of magic and whimsy that mirrors the real-life idiosyncrasies we encounter daily.

Each episode is a testament to the city's unique character, blending surreal humor with heartfelt moments that resonate deeply with anyone familiar with our hometown. The narrative weaves through various facets of urban life, from the mundane to the extraordinary, always with a touch of the bizarre that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

The show's creators have crafted a world that is both relatable and fantastical, a place where the mundane becomes extraordinary and the ordinary is anything but. The writing is sharp and witty, the performances are top-notch, and the production design is a visual feast that brings this quirky city to life in vibrant detail.

We absolutely need another season to dive deeper into its wonderfully peculiar world. There's so much more to explore, so many more stories to tell, and countless quirky characters to meet. Another season would allow us to continue this whimsical journey, uncovering new layers of the city's eccentricities and falling even more in love with its delightful oddness. This show is a gem, a love letter to the weird and wonderful, and I can't wait to see what comes next.

If you like John Mulaney and you enjoyed Comedy Bang Bang this will be catnip for you.

Oh I guess 500 characters are required. OK. So it's setup like a talk show but the guests to show up randomly and don't really seem to understand why they are there or what's happening. The live show is cut with digital shorts that are frequently hilarious and sometimes just bizarre (Richard Kind tries to score acid? What?). John takes random calls on a big old fashioned phone that fits right in with the bizarre 70's porno set they're working with. These calls are just random people completely unscripted that are treated with deadly seriousness. Why they would do this is unclear.

It's hard to look away and hard not to laugh.

This show is a bit crazy, but I think that is why I like it. It's perfect for a one week show, and I love that it is live, because the craziness makes a lot more sense. I am not a huge fan of Mullaney stand up but I like this show. John has good guests and pretty good segments. It seems like they do this for the Netflix is a Joke week so they have a lot of comedians at the ready. The topic of the show works out very well. I love the live phone calls and that John always asks what type of car they drive. It's all dumb but that is usually what good comedy is. I hope they continue to do these shows annually because it's just enough.

What a refreshing show! In my opinion the talkshow format has sadly been played out for a while. Modern talk shows lack the spontaneity and natural feel of what made people like Letterman so great back in the day. John has revived that spirit in his show and it is a joy to watch! Art meets comedy meets absurdism meets genuinely interesting conversation. I hope the show is rebooted, and I would love to see him take it nationwide. As a biased Chicago resident, it would be amazing to see John do a Chicago run!!

Kudos to Netflix for putting this on and kudos to the producers and writers who contributed to this amazingly quirky piece of work!
