All I kept thinking while I was watching this show and their webisodes was, "They get me." Abbi and Ilana are freaking hilarious and play off each other perfectly. It is a great balance of comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously or become too stupid. It is not as depressing as "Girls", and not as cliché as "2 Broke Girls". Loved it! Not only did I fall in love with Abbi and Ilana's characters right away, but Hannibal Buress plays his role perfectly. Laughed out loud the whole time. If you get a chance, check out their short youtube clips of their webisodes. It's nice to see a show made with female comedians that are unknown. All of my friends that watch this keep saying, "This is gonna be huge." I agree completely.
Before the show actually started airing, I saw commercials and did not expect much from this show. When I watched the first episode, I was almost shocked how funny it was. Every episode makes me love the show more and more. The characters are great. Hannibal Buress is perfect, and he is barely in it (so far at least) and he is still just the 3rd best on the show. The two main characters are crazy, neurotic (well maybe only Abbi is neurotic), and hilarious. These are two woman that are not afraid to just be funny. The show reminds me of a mixture of workaholics and flight of the conchords. If you like to laugh, then give this show a chance, watch it open minded and not expecting too much).
I honestly don't get why anyone would give this show a negative rating. I guess different people find different things funny. I am a fan of Workaholics and Always Sunny... but where those shows use impossible situations and unrealistic scenarios, Broad City is very different. Maybe you have to be a chick living in the city, but no, my husband sitting next to me watching is laughing his butt off too. Awkward and stupid is funny, and I so get these broads. The first show I watched had me laughing to tears, and I thought maybe it might have been a fluke, but every episode I have watched since has been just as funny. I also want to point out that while many shows are funny, you have to admit the characters are so horrible as human beings that you really wish the worst fate on them. Not these girls... Their friendship is actually kind of sweet, and you are always really cheering for them. They also have some of the best friends ever, and I would give anything for the chance to party with this bunch.
Ilana Glazer is truly the funniest person (and also an amazing human if you follow her socials). This show is so clever and funny and I miss having it in in my life. These two are comedic geniuses. Hope we get something else from the two of them.
Edgy, funny and so original. The writing is brilliant and the actresses are so naturally funny. I await each episode. So many new shows are a disappointment, but not this one. I can actually envision these girls as existing in real life. I love that it is edgy and a bit raunchy...in a good way. I hope the best for this show and hope it is on for a long time. I think the people who don't like it, just don't get it, and it is unfortunate they write what they do. I also like how they don't pretend to be so ladylike, they are just funny and real. Congrats to.the writer and kudos to the two leading ladies.
Anyway, good job ladies, and keep up the good work!!

- TriviaAfter shooting each scene a few times verbatim, the actors then shot a few more when they improvise to make the scene funnier if possible. This is a method Producer Amy Poehler suggested, because they used it on Parks and Recreation (2009).
