pancake_repairman Awkward moments can be funny, but they aren't automatically going to be as the lazy writing of this show attests. The mockumentary thing just seems tired at this point, taking cues from Christopher Guest (Best In Show, Waiting For Guffman, A Mighty Wind), Ricky Gervais (The Office), Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm), and The Daily Show's field reporter's bits, at best without really bringing anything new to the table, at worst significantly dumbing their influences down. This show is just as good or bad as Reno 911, and like that show I think Dog Bites Man's limited appeal lies more in engaging the viewer with the plots and characters than in the moments and lines intended to pass for gags.

jem286 This has to be one of the funniest programs on television. The actors are all VERY natural and are able to deliver subtle, yet hilarious comments throughout the show. It follows closely in the footsteps of shows and movies such as "The Office" and "Best in Show." It is easily one of the best programs Comedy Central has created. If you don't find "Dog Bites Man" funny, it's likely because you do not have a dry sense of humor. The comedy isn't slapstick, in your face, or obnoxious, but mature. Some of the jokes and cracks made are truly hilarious, but it may take you a second to get it. One of the actors in the show, Zach Galifianakis, appeared in the Comedy Central movie and documentary "Comedians of Comedy." His humor as a comedian comes through greatly in "Dog Bites Man." I would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys sarcasm. However, if you are the type that would rather see a pie thrown in someone's face or fart jokes, "Dog Bites Man" most definitely will not be for you.

genor18 The Daily Show, Colbert Report, and Man Bites Dog. (Chappelle Show is over) Don't listen to Schlagerman, if this show doesn't make you laugh at least once you don't know comedy. I can't stop laughing when I watch it. All of the actors are amazing, and keep in mind that the majority of this show is improv. You have four ingenious comics just rolling with it and playing off each other. I am amazed that they are able to keep in character, it is that funny. Sometimes the reactions of the "straight" people can be slightly uncomfortable, but this is basically an extension of what The Daily Show has been doing for years. If you are into the aforementioned Comedy Central shows, you will love Man Bites Dog. I very highly recommend this show, it is ahead of its time. You won't be disappointed.

mikepownall I actually really enjoy this programme! The pilot was difficult to get into but I really get it now and I think it's really really funny! The jokes are smart where i think you can watch it a second time and probably catch more!This combines a sitcom story-line with a genius mix of (i guess) real life expressions on the faces of by standers as the crew make muppets of themselves!I wanted to compare it with the Ali G show... and i just found out it was created by the same person who brought us that! So I think it's fair to say if you like ALi G... you'll like this!
