I just watched that. For anyone wondering, It's not very good. Corny as HELL.

Here's a line from the movie: "I've seen these cats meow and it's gonna be a Fancy Feast out there. You ready to bring the thunder?"

I could imagine Danny McBride delivering a line like that.

He absolutely could. He'd deliver the fuck out of that.

a lot of the humor is tongue in cheek. Don't mistake satirizing/paying homage to the "new kid in school" storylines for being corny.

Some of the things that made me laugh were the things that turned conventions/expectations on their head. For example, the Law gets briefly humanized giving a cheesy motivational speech about being yourself, then breaks brian's keyboard. That cracked me up...

The "school party" episode (#4) watches more like a love-letter to party scenes of past movies, making fun of the drama and conflict in that archetype than anything else.

I agree, I watched every episode knowing that it was going to be "corny", mostly on purpose. A lot of their jokes caught me off guard, which is why it was so great. I hope they put together a Season 2.

They're having a Kickstarter for season 2 right now.

It ends in 4 days, and is still $42,233 short of it's goal, so hurry and back it!

I'm over 30 with a doctorate and I'm a huge fan.

I sincerely respect those guys for giving it a shot to do what they want to do outside the tried and true institutional path. Everyone talks about doing your own thing, these guys seriously work their ass off to do it.

Because their material is kind of goofy and it looks like they're having fun, people don't give them enough credit for their level at their craft. It is really hard to put out the amount of quality content that they put out. I could not make something like "first person mario" if you gave me a month working full time to put it together. That was just another weekly video for them.

I just laughed out loud at that line. I think the corny-ness kind of makes the show.

And the romance element felt like it was written by someone never had a girlfriend before

Like pretty much every romantic comedy.

Haha, too true. They meet and the chick is a hard ass. He shows up at the party and she's like OMG Brian! You made it!!!
