This is the kind of stupid I can get behind. And absolutely sounds like a title he would come up with...
watched it earlier, and i loved it. the songs are ridiculous and the whole thing is kind of touching without being twee. the interstitial interviews with the kids are great too, a bit surprising how dark some of the subject matter is. the one where Mulaney goes
cracked me up. there's a shot at/meta joke about another Netflix special that killed me too
"okay, besides momo and the babadook and Us, what else scares you" and the girl goes "get out"
I heard John talking about this on Conan's podcast and I couldn't wait to see what the hell it was. After watching the trailer...I still can't wait to see what the hell it is!
This was shockingly genuine and touching. Not a bit of irony to be found. And the end was really, truly great.
It's... kind of hard to say, lol. I didn't see 100% of it because I was in and out of the room, but the worst content I saw was that a song lyric had the word 'hell' in it. For adults, I think it's 70% entertaining and 30% cringe? A really weird, but interesting, production
My seven year old daughter watched it with us today. She liked it but clearly all the 70s/80s children show parodies were lost on her.
My 60-something father in law was also perplexed by it. 😂

Better, much better, but I really don't like his Nick Kroll's humor and I'm not a fan of that pairing personally.
Ill pass on the kid choir without watching. I think Mulvaney is great but this for sure is not for me
I loved the first half, but it did wear out its welcome at some point. Most of the music is great. Algebra Song! is amazing.
Watched this yesterday and enjoyed the vast majority of it. Some of the songs were too long (white lady sobbing, especially), but overall it was pretty great.
I watched this with my wife. We're big fans of John Mulaney's comedy and Documentary Now! but we didn't think this show was as good as either of those things.
Like, we did like it. We laughed a lot. It's definitely good. But it doesn't reach the heights of Documentary Now! or Mulaney's own stand up. Or even Oh Hello! I wish we loved it the same way as those things, but it was still really good. We liked how long the musical numbers were.

I watched this again yesterday, and I can't figure out which bit I like the best.
Things that made me laugh the most this time:
The tutor asking John and the kid "Which if you is the 12 year old boy, Jonah?"
Linder's perfect timing when she says "Get Out"
Mr Music's Whole thing, but particularly "I'm making music. You're ignorant!"

I dunno, I enjoyed it every time John was speaking, but most of the bits just didn't land for me or were drawn out too long. Especially the songs: they were all just one joke, repeated over and over, and not even particularly catchy or pleasing to listen to.
Some of the kids' talking to cameras were cute, and there were some great moments, but I felt bored at least half the time.

the songs are hilarious and the kids are super talented. funniest show since I Think You Should Leave.
Agreed. I need more I Think You Should Leave like yesterday. I've already rewatched it 6 times.
