    It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

    This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

    A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

    Reggie watts and Slop Awkward man are hysterical. My only minor complaint is the guests. I love them all to be honest and I'm not saying they were bad choices but. Is someone just going down the list of everyone who had anything to do with wet hot American summer, parks and rec and the office? Sketch comedy doesn't need to suck the D of the comedic elite to be funny but I guess when your pitching the show the people with the $ always want celebrity names for the shows they produce. I'm not gonna pretend I know how Hollywood works but I do know people generally are very motivated by money. I'm done with the review but since IMDb Nazis are forcing me to write more I will oblige so that Scott and Reggie and the crew working on the show know that this guy right here is watching the show and is loving this run on sentence right now!

    Comedy Bang Bang is entertaining.. for the first 10 minutes or so! It would be pretty good as a comedy short, and would even make a funny SNL skit. But, as an entire series.. not so much!The same old joke gets old really fast! The more you watch, the less funny it becomes. On the positive side, the show has some good guests and they play along with the one dimensional gag very well, for a while. However, even the guests' comedy contributions become tiring, very fast! I recommend watching this only once, and only for a brief period of time, say.. less than 15 minutes. After that, you will likely become bored with it. Watching too long may make you scream!

    I gave this show a 10 for being original and with superb talent and the writing is sensational. Lets not forget the various of celebrity guest stars who are in fact BIG stars supporting Comedy Bang Bang. I see someone gave this show a 1 and that its comedy is for a 3 year old. Please do not give that review much thought, obviously they do not have a sense of humor to begin with. I really dislike people who are basically "couch critics" and some who don't even have a degree in film or media associated careers, I would like to ask these couch critic clowns when was the last time they produced or wrote a show and was actually aired on television or the theater? It's easy to put down something you didn't work hard for and it's easy to put down someone who has talent they wish they had.

    Let's start by recognizing that Comedy Bang Bang is made for comedy connoisseurs. This is the American talk show deconstructed: it is not so important that you "laugh" so much as you appreciate the aesthetics of the bit; it is not so concerned with jokes as it is concerned with the technique and form of jokes. Disagree? Look, it cannot be a coincidence that the season one guest lineup is a virtual Algonquin Round Table of all the major figures in the alt comedy scene: Galifianakis, Poehler, Oswalt, Tompkins, Helms, Rogen, Odenkirk, Forte, Kroll, Rudd, Barry, Arnett, Cera, Koechner, Cross, Black, Scott, Lennon, Scheer … and you get the sense that this is the kind of material that they would perform for each other if there were no audience around: esoteric, experimental, and with a healthy amount of self-aware meta-humor. This is, in other words, hard-edged alternative comedy for the dedicated enthusiast, not the more palatable and softened version that you get from, e.g., Portlandia, Parks and Recreation, etc. Indeed, that most viewers will find this show alienating is kind of the point – a big part of the reason that one out of ten people will love this show is because they know the other nine are going to hate it. Add to that great chemistry between Scott Aukerman and Reggie Watts and pitch-perfect character performances from both and you have, in my opinion, the most consistently interesting television that I have seen in years. Hey, one out of ten people can't be wrong, no?
