Even advertising this show during South park will not save this show from it's inevitable cancellation. The show is not funny, the content is not funny, the writing is not funny, and the stars of the show are just annoying. Comedy Central really failed with this one for a few reason's. Totally unoriginal content being portrayed by comedian's who do food commercials is fail. After giving us comedy staples such as South Park, Reno 911, John Stewart, Steven Colbert, and the most recent success of Sarah Silverman they give us this? Give the show two months and gone. Don't waste your time here. If this is Comedy Central's response to "Tim and Eric's Awesome Show Great Job" they are way off.

Love these guys from Stella. Michael Ian Black is the funniest guy in the world and Michael Showalter is great too. The show takes everyday occurrences and puts hilarious twists on them. They play two stars of a comedy documentary of how they make this show and play themselves using their own names. Ignore the mean review at the top given by someone who never even heard of Stella or these talented guys. I recommend that everyone checks it out. It is not very censored and yet keeps a certain realism by the rest of the cast that allows the humor to be believable and funny. They take current real issues and discuss them in the most creative and outrageous ways.
I was sad about this series. It only lasted a few episodes and they didn't really dig deep in to how they wanted the show. Them having a studio audience for the 30 second (if that) intro's was pretty pointless, and everything as a whole didn't really seem to go anywhere.
Stella, the group, and the show is genius. David Wain doesn't really add to the group as far as jokes (he did hit me hard with laughter at a few of them though), but he is a damn fine writer/director and knows how to get their style humor on screen. This show, I can't really recommend sadly, it does have a few funny spots but I would really look elsewhere in Stella and their other side projects.

I don't get all the hate against this show, on this site. It makes absolutely no sense to me. This show has been awesomely hilarious since the first episode. I just don't get what's NOT to like about it.
I liked Stella when it first came out, and was disappointed when it wasn't renewed. However, I like this show even MORE. It's kinda like the Tenacious D HBO episodes, where it's a show within a show, with Michael & Michael talking to the audience throughout the episodes. The sketches are definitely some of the best I've seen in a long time, examples including: Michael & Michael having an air "fight" where neither person actually hits the other, a sweatpants store for depressed people, "Same Age Couples", the Rabbit Stomping Competition, "British Fork Offerer", and so much more. What really drives the show is the great chemistry between MIB and Show. They have this passive aggressive way of insulting each other and others, which really makes things work.
Anyway, I have to say this is Comedy Central's best new show since 2005. If you like Stella, Reno 911, The Hollow Men, and Tenacious D, you'll like this.

I gave this show a chance seeing as Comedy Central is trying very very hard to get people to watch it. With that being said I would like that thirty minutes of my life back please. The characters come off as tools. There is just not any laugh out loud moment's. It's not just the writing it's Micheal and Michael's unsavory characters. So they have issues, that is not enough to deliver, this is not Seinfeld. As the above poster pointed out this show won't last very long if even through the first season. I can only hope it comes sooner as the commercials for it hurt my brain. Oh and a word to Comedy Central, next time you choose to make a show get comedians not bad commercial actor's. Try Katt Williams, he has talent.
