About
You may like this if you enjoy offbeat, rude comedies about messy families and humiliation with a bit of heart, in the vein of Happy Endings; Not for you if harsh, cringe-heavy humor turns you off.
Pros: big laughs for some; dark, cathartic humor; surprising heart | Cons: crass tone; mean-spirited antics; uneven for comedy fans
