Upright Citizens Brigade Tribute


did anyone else notice when zach galifinakis poured the pepto bismol and started drinking it, that was definitely a tribute to the first episode of UCB when that crazy cop is drinking the pepto bismol.

I missed the show but just watched it on you tube, I was surprised by all the negative comments on the board, I think it's hilarious. People who are saying that its like "the office" are just dumb, just because it's mockumentary style doesn't mean it's a rip-off of the office. From the first episode I kind of felt a curb your enthusiasm feel to it, like an improv, situation comedy where they set up situations with embarrasing outcomes (like when Matt Walsh is walked in on while faking having sex). I loved the small jokes that were hard to catch, like the whole jeopardy thing to impress tillie. I think this is an awesome show and will only get better.

I wasn't very impressed after this first episode but I'm definitely gonna keep watching. I'll try to rewatch the first episode if I can.

This show is keeping me in stitches. It's hilarious and I just found another UCB reference:

2nd episode at the racial seminar the gang talks about what gay people eat. Obvious reference to the episode "Cyborgs" at the coffee shop. "What do gay people eat?" "We eat whatever we want." "Such FREEDOM!"

Hahaha I hope that in one episode while the cast is talking about their next project or whatever, Duke Thompson appears on a tv in the background talking about some stupid invention.
