    VCR STILL NOT FIXED!!!

    Ten years ago, I brought over my own VCR videomachine to these overrated HACKFRAUDS! Heard nothing of them since. They told me to use a streaming service instead, but I'm not really into fishing.

    amazing

    this show is the most amazing thing that i have ever seen, the sarcastic humor is hilariously funny and the movie reviews are very accurate and complex and to the point. mike and jay have a lot of skills when it comes to movie making. the skits in between the movie review are amazing and i am looking forward to watching more of these episodes. the movie reviews are very in-depth and it is clear from watching many episodes of the shows that mike and jay are very skilled when it comes to the art of movie making. the sarcastic humor is so funny and and all of these shows can be watched many times again for the humor value. overall this show is amazing and i would recommend this show to anyone who likes satirical humor and movie reviews which goes in-depth into a film. i would also recommend the plinkett reviews which are made by the creators of half in the bag. these reviews are reviews of one movie that go for an hour and half. these reviews are also filled with the same satirical humor that is present in the half and the bag series.

    The best of it's kind and actually funny!!!

    I literally just made this IMDB account to praise this show. All the years of looking at reviews and never feeling compelled enough to comment, that's all changed now. (Who would have thought it would be a YouTube show lol).. This show is absolutely hilarious. It deserves it's high rating and needs to be seen by all movie & comedy fans. These guys keep it real and know exactly what they're talking about when it comes to film... I respect that.. The show really grows on you and the more you watch episodes the better it gets, because you get in tune with their whole world and all the inside comedy... Which is great. Mike is standout hilarious... Like actually funny and his cynical personality resonates so greatly when it comes to reviewing cinema. Jay is great too because he's the one who really knows all the great B movie/horror cinema that got me to watch this incredible show in the first place... It also helps that I'm from Waukegan so all the regional jokes (and their are tons of them) hit close to home... Everything about the show is high quality and I'm really impressed... Literally all their shows are great but this one is my favorite by far.

    Masterpiece

    Simply put, it is the definitive work of the 2010's.

    Pure hilarity

    I started watching Half In The Bag 2 years ago. Watching the channel grow has been a true pleasure since this is by far the most hilariously inappropriate yet also professional blend of comedy gold and satire.

    The set-piece of "Lightning fast VHS" is a brilliant addition adding a lot more creativity than your average YouTube channel that deem their reviews to be "hilarity's". We follow Mike and Jay, and Mr.Plinkett, an otherwise unsettling and sinister old man who like to make love to his pets and abuse hookers. Mike and Jay both play the parts of VHS repair men looking to extort money from Mr. Plinkett by attempting to repair his VHS. Those Female Russian Terminator tapes ain't gonna watch themselves you know! I wont go into a lot of details, since you really have to watch this show to enjoy and admire its sheer levels of comedy that make you question "Why is Adam Sandler so rich, when these guys are far more hilarious?!". Speaking of that con-man, I would advise starting with the wet yourself.

    One last note also - Rich Evans is a majestic human being. Every street corner should contain at least one Rich Evans. His laughter is like butter to the ears...

    Love it! 10/10
