Probably. It wasn't bad, but the gratuitous lowbrow stuff just seems lazy to me.

I honestly thought this was really, really fricking unfunny. Why did so many people like it? I can't think of a single time I laughed except for a chuckle during the long volley.

I got a pretty good laugh at "second serve - after killing a guy."

Past that, meh.

Because I don't consider other men's penis and balls flopping around funny and entertainment? Yep I'm a homophobe alright.

I think he was saying it implies you're a closet case. Not necessarily a homophobe.

I'm with you. It had some good moments but I didn't think it was a great as this thread thought it was. Thought it tried way too hard in some parts and all the male nudity seemed a bit over the top & lazy. As stated by someone else, it could've been so much better considering the cast. To each their own though.

Michael Sheen & Good Sport was pretty funny

yeah i think they tried to make a 45 minute mococumentary out of the material for a 10 minute sketch

they filled a lot of the dead air with just random gross/raunchy stuff

best joke of the show was the part about how per swedish law, since samberg's character broke out of jail, he's a free man

jon snow's character was seriously underutilized and underdeveloped

While somethings fell flat to me, David Copperfield was fricking hysterical.

The best was Kit's reaction to having a magician appear on his shoulders

There was too much Sandberg and not enough Kit. Kit was funny as hell though.

The way the first couple pages went on this thread I was expecting the greatest thing ever. It had its moments, but overall it was average at best. There were a few funny moments for sure though.

Later, tennis.

the first time you watch it, there are some few gross out laughs, good one-liners, and then shocking moments that can make you chuckle b/c you feel you're supposed to

i bet this has almost no rewatch value b/c the overall piece was jumbled and the plot was ridiculous and stupid (to a point where it wasn't funny). once you hear funny people riff, that't it. the riffing isn't funny the second time you watch it. that's going to be this show's legacy

like i said. 5-10 minute sketch idea stretched to 45 minutes

When you notice just how shitty the CGI crowd is, its hard to watch the rest of the movie. It looks like a crowd in a sports video game from the 90's.
