I stumbled across this in Netflix, and it is my favorite find, so far. I was a fan of the duo from 'Pregnant Women are Smug' and similarly funny youTube videos, but this show exceeded all expectations. Especially the second half of the season, where each episode seems to start with a ridiculous premise, and hilarity reliably ensues.Each episode is dense with jokes and charm, I'm only sorry that there aren't more episodes. The plots are light-hearted, but every thread seems to pay off by the end of each episode. Both characters are well-developed an their friendship is endearing. I especially love the Natasha Leggero and other great cameo appearances. I hope this show can return again soon!

Doubtful.For some reason this show is always on IFC when I'm up in the middle of the night for any variety of reasons (but mostly urinary issues).Anyway, if I can't get back to sleep, it's time to start flipping channels, and these two quirky gals are enough to make me stop the churn.I first saw them on an episode of "The Soup" and was curious enough to find out more about them. Turns out they've been "LA musical comedy stars" for at least five years, and IFC gave them a shot at a show. The show is interesting and ironic, the jokes come pretty fast, the ukulele certainly is today's go-to instrument for hipster comedy, BUT THE LAUGHS JUST AREN'T THERE for me.Your mileage may vary, as I'm just a boring, early-onset AARP white guy and not an early 30-something single navigating this world we call 2014, so check them out if you care to.

These two performers are brilliant! I've enjoyed several of their song videos on the web, and just watched the premier of their series. I was cautiously hopeful, maybe a bit doubtful, that they could weave together a coherent show in the longer format, but they nailed it. Funny, insightful, self-deprecating, honest, awkward, topical humor that's a rare find these days among U.S. comics. It's a real pleasure to find this kind of sophisticated talent without having to look to Australia or the U.K. Please sign them up for another season!To provide some context, one of my favorite recent comedic shows is Rake - The Australian series, not the horribly lame Hollywood remake that wastes Greg Kinnear's talent. My favorite all-around comedic actor is the U.K.'s Steve Coogan. If you have a taste for that kind of humor, you should give Garfunkel and Oates a try.

Their comedy and general humour are simply not funny to me, and their quirky alt girl fashion and behavior died out in the 90's for everyone else. There is absolutely nothing about these ladies that interest me. Once again, their quirky alt girl ways died two decades ago for everyone else, but not for them. I hope they get canceled soon. The one good purpose they do serve is to show other female (or even male) comedians how not to do comedy.
