I'm seeing quite the polarization, here: Folks either think it's the bees' knees, or think it sucks. For one thing, I don't think there's any use comparing it against Mr. Show: The flavor is very updated/refined/lower-key. I like that; it's a different modality, and one I could plug in to. The key, I think, is that Odenkirk is trying to become a better and better producer of media products that aspire to true art, and I for one see TBBs as a step in this direction. So: What makes TBBs look, to me, like such a step? The writing and directing are very well-integrated. This integration means that they don't have to rely on an "obvious" sketch gimmick to clue in the acting talent as to their motivation. Bob has a subtler idea, and he ably directs very able actors to achieve these subtler comic effects. Good on 'im! I was just thinking of watching them again. Yeah! I think I'll do that!

The initial reason that I watched The Birthday Boys was because I heard Bob Odenkirk would appear in there and those who know me know how much I love Bob Odenkirk. It is hilarious. I guarantee you you will laugh. The boys are very good at the comedy. Of course being directed by Bob Odenkirk it was brilliantly shot and the acting was superb. The sketches they had in there were funny too reminded me a little of Mr. Show with Bob and David. I'm presuming its because Bob's genius mind was involved in it somehow. I have been having super withdrawals from Mr. Show with Bob and David and when this came out I was super excited. Thank god it wasn't a let down but then again I didn't think it would be. There isn't very much genius comedy like this around but thank god for Bob Odenkirk is all I can say. 10 out of 10 for this show. Truly genius. I cannot say it enough.

Plenty to appreciate about this show. The writing and the acting make for a good time. I look forward to it every week. I'd like to catch these guys performing live. Looks like they have a lot of fun making the show, and it translates to fresh, inspired television. The pace is good. They know how long a sketch ought to be, unlike some other shows where a sketch should have ended a few minutes earlier. This show keeps things moving. I recommend getting the iTunes season pass. Our cable provider eliminated IFC from our package, so I'm glad to have found another way to watch the show. Check it out if you haven't already.

I don't know why I ever watched this, I don't know why my man and I can quote all of this, but this is a wonderful comedy show. It's so subtle, clever, and quotable. In fact we have a standing drinking game where if one of us makes a reference, we have to take a shot. Anymore it's just mimicking taking shots, but it's still relevant. And one of them has a head that is perfectly square. Losing this on Netflix was such a shame, but it really is a well crafted sketch show that was cut down too quickly. Bob Odenkirk is a delightful accomplice to the shenanigans. We love it so much we own the physical copies, which is huge. So strap in and hold onto your shoes, because I guarantee you will find it adequate.

I'm a huge fan of KITH, Mr. Show, and A Bit of Fry & Laurie and I think this show has the potential to end up in that rarified air. The sketches are clever and hilarious and they're not tethered to impressions, recurring characters or current events, which is refreshing. Give these guys time to mature and I think they'll be the next big thing. Only Key and Peele can compete with these guys in terms of quality sketch comedy that is currently in production. I see several negative reviews here which is fine, its not for everyone. What I don't get is why people have to be so over-the-top with their negativity these days! You can just say you don't like. You don't have to call it 'crap' or moan about losing respect for Bob Odenkirk. It ain't that serious folks!

Dang this show is hilarious! It's easily my favorite new show on TV. The writing is so clever and the cast all have legit acting chops. I feel like IFC is blowing up with original content that will steal audiences from FXX. I love the one where the dude is getting sentenced to jail and he's like, "I can't...I'm sorry I just can't do this anymore I'm done. I know, I know everyone can hate but I just can't." Or the one where the guy is like "Yeah I mean it was an okay movie but it's nothing to write home about..." They also play on a lot on filmic conventions which is really cool and funny. When Key and Peele first aired it was good, but I think it went to a whole new level in the 2nd and 3rd seasons. I bet the same thing would happen with the Birthday Boys. I really hope IFC brings them back for more episodes!!!

With each episode I see, these talented young men continue to impress me. Their sketches are well written, clever, without resorting to the crutch of vulgarity. These are not one joke sketches like those you see on SNL, either. Rather, they build on the absurdities and clever ridiculous premises established early on, throughout the sketch. Their acting is top notch and I can't wait to see what they will accomplish as they move forward. If you want intelligent comedy that doesn't insult your intelligence, this show is for you. Favorites include the Chistian Youth Group sketch, the roofers, and the beer company sketch. I believe these funny young men met each other at college where they had time to hone their comedic skills. I was fortunate enough to see them perform live on the Comedy Bang Bang tour and they were equally as funny live. I also got a chance to meet most of them, and they turned out to be a bunch of great guys with no egos or attitudes.

This group of zany comics produce nothing but laughs and the unexpected plot lines. The only thing wrong with Birthday Boys is that after 10 episodes, it's disappeared! The half-hour show has more than three separate but recurring episodes that are flat-out funny. Bob Odenkirk (Saul the lawyer on "Breaking Bad") appears, and also is the executive producer. The brothers who brew beer, the high-school kid who is stood up by his girl for the prom, with his dad substituting for her...the roofers...too many shows to watch...there are so many exceptional comedy bits in this show that in the great wasteland of reality TV, couldn't intelligent folk be allowed to laugh and genuinely hilarious TV? That's Birthday Boys--it should return, and soon!

OK, for the people giving it low scores, this isn't Sat. Night Live (more like SCTV actually). One of the major Producers is Abso Lutely so you have to think along the lines of "Tim and Eric Awesome Show" and "Comedy Bang Bang". For older references you'd be looking at shows like "Kids in the Hall" or "The Upright Citizens Brigade". This isn't "mainstream comedy" but it's not as out there as say T&EAS:GJ. It may not be the greatest thing I've ever seen, but I think people should give it a chance; and Bob Odenkirk is pretty good in most everything he does.

As a huge fan of sketch comedy, I've known its always VERY hit and miss. Even the best, Mr. Show, Ben Stiller Show, the State, Kids In The Hall produced a lot of bad sketches. But I've been so impressed with how consistently well written each episode of the BBoys has been so far. And unlike the plethora of new sketch groups, especially youtube sensations like Good Neighbor, these guys put good writing first, and performance second. None of the ensemble members are trying to score laughs at the expense of the sketch. Where most TV sketch shows lurch awkwardly from bit to bit the Birthday Boys guide the viewer through the show with interweaving sketches, not unlike Mr. Show. But where Mr. Show had a surreal but linear approach to their transitions the Birthday Boys weave their sketches amongst each other with ease. Their second episode Goofy Roofers is a perfect example, silly, self-referential and even a little sweet. Don't expect huge belly laughs, and people that need that in their comedy won't like this. But if you enjoy smart, silly and very well written sketch comedy you need to see this.
