Beef House

Beef house is an excellent and hilarious parody that plays to my sense of humor very very well. I've seen a lot of bad sitcoms in my life and this has pinpointed every stupid cliche they contain. The side characters really make the show. Like Tennessee, love that guy. This is not for everyone, but it certainly works for me

Can't believe I'm saying this but I don't really understand this show. I'm a huge fan of their other work. It's like a parody of a sitcom, but it doesn't go too far into actually being a parody of have any of their signature surrealism, so it isn't funny in that sense, but because it's not trying to be a legitimate sitcom it also isn't funny in that sense. It's just in this middle ground of...nothing. There's occasional moments where it almost commits to the joke and then it backs off. Maybe it's too subtle for me idk.

Listen, I can't blame people who hate this show. Watching it expecting meaningful substance will be disappointed. The show absurd and monumentally stupid. Even from a parody standpoint........it's absurd and monumentally stupid. However, this creates a situation where it's funny deconstructed to it's simplest form. Tim and Eric COULD of made a more structured parody of a sitcom and it would of been fine. Problem is we have seen parody's like this made over and over again. This show is made with typical family sitcom tropes but with little regard to making something that would make a mass audience happy. If it does please a mass audience then fine. It seems to me though that they make these episodes thinking "this would be hilarious and SO TRUE to family sitcoms!" but fail to ask anybody else if it's funny because they are going to make it anyway. In the end, all this makes a good show that this world needs more of.

Yes, Beef House is awful, because it's supposed to be awful. It's purposefully over the top satire aimed at how stupid and pedantic the average American sitcom tends to be. Over the top characters and impossibly illogical story lines and yet they still find willing viewers. If you only came away with how terrible it is, you missed the message.

I honestly can't tell if this show is good or not but it's impossible to stop watching. It's so surreal and strange, and has consistently made me laugh without fail every episode.
