The few shows I've seen on IFC have been good, and that Dinosaurs bit (starts 4:25 in) kills me. It's been awhile since a sketch comedy show came along that reminded me of Kids In The Hall.

I've started watching them.  Bits tend to go on too long--gee, how unusual--and many feature too much screaming, but there's some funny stuff.

I have to say its pretty bad imho. The Kids in the Hall reference is made so often you have to wonder if they are deliberately aping them, and then you have to wonder why anyone would copy a 20 year old comedy troupe and consider it fresh.

The whole party-animal dinosaurs thing is a direct lift from an already pretty bad Scott Thompson monologue on KITH.  I think it's pretty bad too, but I literally was just waiting for Jason to say it first.

I stand by my lukewarm review.

meh. I watched a few of the skits, and I guess they weren't funny enough to lead me back and watch more. If people enjoy it, that's great. just not my bag though.

BTW - ANOTHER KITH ripoff was the "Drunk Dad" skit, which even used the same POV camera shot as the classic original.

you decide.

They're not RIPoffs, they're REMAKES
