    Funny and gross

    Well yeah it is gross. It is also funny and fairly original. Each episode is not quite what I think it will be. That alone is fantastic for me.

    When I read the original synopsis a dozen different ideas went through my head of funny anecdotes that I have seen dozens of time before on many, many shows. I was relieved to see they had some original ideas or at least original spins on old ideas. What I am saying is that the humour is not done to death. so even if your an avid TV watcher you should get a few laughs.

    The characters are well developed each with their own style and humour. I hope they stay that way as many series characters tend to blend into one character with different bodies.

    Silly, a little gross, but totally hilarious

    Sometimes stumbling across a program has good results! I hadn't intended to watch the premiere episode of "Testees" Friday night, but since it was sponsored by "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," I watched for the opportunity to see film trailers. I'm very glad I did, because I laughed until tears came to my eyes.

    "Testees" is silly, gross, sexually inappropriate humor a la Porky's and similar films with wildly exaggerated stereotypes in wildly improbable situations - in other words, you'll laugh but you'll feel kinda guilty afterward. I don't know how long the show will last, but I've already set the DVR to record the series.

    Best New Show On Television...Period

    I really don't understand all of the negative reviews I've seen floating around the internet about this show. This is BY FAR the funniest show I have watched in years.

    The plot is pure genius. The two main characters, Ron and Peter, are a couple of thirty-something slackers who "work" for a testing facility called Testico. Each episode involves some sort of crazy side effect from an experiment gone wrong, whether it be a sex change operation, memory loss, or a super glue mishap.

    The humor is usually crude and adult oriented, but very well done. Each episode is well written, cohesive, and never predictable. Jeff Kassel (Ron) and Steve Markle (Peter) are very believable in their roles and really make this show shine.

    For all of the Testees haters out there, go back to watching your media glutton, over hyped, high dollar, humorless, Judd Apatow produced, lame entertainment. If you're looking for something fresh and highly entertaining, check out Testees!

    The funniest show since Malcolm in the Middle!

    This feel good and laugh out loud comedy is exactly what I've been waiting for since Malcolm in the Middle finished in 2006. Testees made me laugh so hard, that I started crying. Especially the episodes "Jellybean Omlett" and "Uber Glued" were hilarious.

    This show is crazy and completely implausible - which is a perfect recipe for endless fun. At times the humor can be a bit too much for family viewing so I recommend you watch the show before you are going to view it with your family - otherwise you might feel a little awkward with your kids.

    But otherwise Testees is a well paced show with 2 brilliant actors with good comedic timing. And I really hope this show will produce many seasons of laugh out loud comedy!!!!

    The FUNNIEST thing I've seen on TV in a long, long time!

    I was almost completely asleep when I started hearing the dialog from this show on TV last night. Even before my eyes opened, I was chuckling. Finally awaking, I was like WTF am I watching?! By the commercial break . . .

    Testees! Brace yourself. It's weird, awkward and GROSS! You'll almost be ashamed of yourself during and after watching. But just go with it! Because it has some of the most improbable yet funniest scenes of all-time. Lots of sophomoric humor with dry, comedic dialog. For ADULTS only though. Somehow it just works!

    OMG, I must see every single episode now! I just hope they can keep it up . . .
