AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
General_G The tagline to this show is seriously f**ked up sketch comedy show. I call it seriously confusing and unfunny. Comedy Central always has to have some strange, unfunny show and this was one of them. After this it was Primetime Glick. Now its Mind of Mencia. At least Comedy Central doesn't show the re-runs that often. I am going say that if I worked at Comedy Central and I was put in charge of what show I had to put on as a re-run at 1:00 AM and I had to choose between Upright Citizens Brigrade and Primetime Glick, I would choose this because it isn't as annoying and screwed up as Jiminy Glick that jackass. At least its got Amy Poehler and Matt Walsh.
TattedA The Funniest, smartest, and most original show ever on television. It's a crime that they took this show of the air, but Comedy Central has no problem showing you 12 reruns of SNL in a day. If you haven't seen the show, do yourself a favor and pick up season 1 on DVD. You will never laugh harder in your life.I really hope they follow up with seasons two and three. The show only got funnier over time. One of the best ones is the cyborg episode from season one. The show trumps every other show that is or was on Comedy Central. Saying no to this show is saying no to America, and babies. But mostly America.
MovieMarauder Opinions of this show seem to be split right down the middle. I for one loved it. Finally we had OUR Kids in the Hall, and without those annoying Canadian dialects and cross-dressers! But, like anything with any true integrity on Comedy Central, the UCB just didn't get recognized as the flaming orb of comic brilliance that it was. This was probably the best original show Comedy Central has ever produced. But on a station full of ridiculous, second-rate, low-brow programs like Strip Mall and Strangers With Candy, a show like this has no audience. A show with this much genius should have started a dynamite run on HBO, where it would still be going strong today, as a nice way to kick back and have some laughs after the serious and hard-hitting prison drama of Oz. And if you ask me, Comedy Central should temporarily hault their endless imagination and ability to crank out mind-numbing dreck, and take a moment to figure out just what Comedy Central means. Shouldn't the phrase "Comedy Central" denote that this is the place for ALL comedic tastes, and not just little independent ventures and Britcoms? Why don't they expand their range and give those of us who don't proudly sport homemade mullets something to watch? Oh well, I can dream, can't I?
krustwell i feel very fortunate to have witnessed these amazing creators/writers/performers on television, and in person. their show is sketch comedy at its best. i have never felt so "into" a show as when watching UCB. the subtle humour, the bizarre twists and turns, the outstanding characters...all this, AND they are incredibly nice in person. i wish them the best of success in all they do, since comedy central (in what can only be described as the biggest programming blunder in television history) chose not to renew them for what would have been a terrific 4th season.rock on, UCB. if you're ever in my neck of the woods, you have a free place to crash.
