vitorcardia Pete Holmes shows us how is the life of a poor, hardworking comic. He takes us to his world. It's immersive and deeply reflexive, as he makes you laugh he also make you cry and feel for him. My only complain is about the number of episodes, C'mon Pete, we need more than 8!!!!
stevej-15440 It's very similar to Master of None. It's not as funny or clever but it's very enjoyable. Pete is a religious guy surrounded by the vast majority of vulgar comedians now a days. He's a very likable and trustworthy guy which why so many people like him (other comedians). He's not very responsible (adult wise) bc of how he was raised and the show explains all of this. If you ever watched Pete Holmes his humor is there and it's clean but everyone else is vulgar, i like the diversity. however if master of none is 9+ this falls short. each episode taught a life lesson in Mast of none crashing is more about a struggling comedians story and rise to fame.
peterjamesholmes I've watched three episodes of this and I won't be watching any more. It's not funny. Crashing has little to interest me apart from the fact that I share names with its protagonist. It is the story of a sad loser with an inability to manage his own life. He is an unsuccessful stand up whose wife leaves him out of boredom/frustration. One of the problems is that he seems unable to deal in a realistic way with any situation. Maybe his apathy is meant to be funny but it doesn't work for me. I suspect, having seen a broadcast of his stand up, that Pete Holmes just isn't funny enough himself to make this work. Personally I much prefer Louie or Maron which are both far funnier and far more believable.
Joseph Godfrey I going to start right off by admitting this show isn't very funny. The comedy is forced. I think 'Crashing' should drop the pretense of itself being satire or observational humor. I think it's closer to a drama than anything.I'm not a huge fan of the urban-fantasy of suburbia life. It's tired and overused; People have been watching these same jokes since 'Saturday Night Live' first started. That old "everything looks perfect on the outside, but you just know it's f'd up on the inside" ... I get that it's semi-autobiographical, but it's also a cliché. It's not funny. It's 1990's water-cooler talk, "Mr. Suburbanite with his 9-5 job has a dissatisfied wife at home who's banging some dirty hippie." Yawn. Drop that shtick.What is likable about 'Crashing' is the interactions and dialogue.A. Pete riding the train (with that miserable look on his face) and he opens up to the kids sitting around him.B. I loved his conversations with Artie and I could care less about Artie Lange. What made me enjoy the two of them together was the feeling that they've probably had these conversations IRL.C. The competition between struggling comedians where they'll kick you when you're down. I want more of that.It felt REAL. It felt HONEST. It held my attention. Everyone has something crappy going on, you don't need to shove it down our throats for people to get it.While Pete's robotic stature & confused face doesn't offer much of a performance; 'Crashing' itself is well-acted. As I stated before, the dialogue feels like it really happened. The puns and jokes make up for some background filler, but keep the focus grounded and on the drama. Stop forcing jokes as if the audience were ignorant and allow the humor to come more naturally.Mind you, I am 1 episode in and I'm sticking around for the next episode. The inclusion of guest stars is the biggest push here.
