Kroll Show

This show is a masterpiece! I am amazed at the originality of the writing and the great performances by Nick Kroll, Jon Daly and the rest of the cast. I recommend this show to anyone that appreciates satirical parodies of reality shows and TV dramas.

My embarrassing guilty pleasure is watching reality TV or what my husband like to call "trash"as a mean to relax, and the Kroll Show makes me feel that I am not alone in seeing the absurdity of its "reality" but still watch anyways because it makes me feel intellectually superior. The show makes satire accessible to all audiences because it brings a funny twist to characters we are all familiar with, without over amplifying or going into extremes to prove a point.

It is brilliant, entertaining and very very VERY FUNNY!

Thank you Comedy Central for giving this show a second season, which turned out to exceed our expectations!

**My favorite characters are "Bobby Bottleservice", "Dr.Armand", "C-zar" and "Liz"

I honestly don't get how so many people can find this show so unappealing.

It's a fantastic satire of modern celebrity and reality TV that sadly no one on the internet gets outside of a few niches. It's a parody of the downfall of society.

It's something more people should get, but I guess Kroll coming from a show about fantasy football will give you an audience more predisposed to ESPN and firmly against Bravo therefore unlikely to get a lot of the humor. It's a satire and at this point in the second season it has blossomed into one of Comedy Central's best shows.

Of course not everything fires as funny as we'd like, nothing does, but in all honesty, it's still one of the best shows out there right now. Nick Kroll's take on reality TV is so good, I will NEVER watch reality TV as long as I can help it. I've seen an episode of that stuff here and there and rely heavily on 'The Soup' to know what's going on in the world of Garbage TV to ever need to sit through it for real. Kroll Show has nailed the insipid trash that many seem to flock to and made it funny.

OK, I know much of the real reality TV is funny in it's attempt to be good, but I can't sit through it. Nick Kroll and his insane little ensemble skewer it as well as some of the other 'stuff' on TV and does it masterfully yet not 'in your face'. They don't try too hard and that's one of the reasons it's so damn funny. Some comedy tries to be funny to the point that it just becomes stupid. Nick doesn't. It's low key but very believable. I rarely give anyone a 10 because I can always find some flaw but in an effort to balance a few of the negative reviews, I'm going all out. This show deserves it.

This show excels at highlighting the peculiar and hilarious aspects of real people and reality TV. Nick Kroll's attention to detail and direction are impeccable, illustrated by the cast's portrayal of idiosyncrasies that not all may be quick enough to notice, but are instant classics once absorbed. Some examples of this are Pony Tales, Ghost Bouncers, PubLIZity, and Wheels Ontario, all of which could be made into their own successful TV shows.

Acute specificity being a mainstay of the show's humor, some of its best moments may verge on cryptic for those less culturally aware or perceptive, but there are still many components with mass appeal. Writing, acting, direction, production, editing—all fantastic. This show is a museum.

My expectations for "Kroll Show" was not too high to begin with, as Comedy Central tries many sketch comedy shows that simply just don't make it. The great sketch comedy shows always leave you coming away from the show with that awesome sketch you talk about for a week until you see the next. Chappelle's Show, Key and Peele, and Who's Line is it Anyway, are perfect examples of classic sketch comedies. Kroll Show does not have the lasting factor these shows did, as a couple cheap laughs from the same guy and mostly unknown supporting characters does not make the show watchable on a weekly basis. While the show has it's moments of laughs, most of the time it fails to leave a lasting impression on it's viewers. A majority of the viewers will simply be watching due to the fact it is on after Workaholics, but take away that time slot and this show will have ratings more realistic to the show's quality.
