About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re in the mood for loud, juvenile buddy-comedy chaos and can roll with crude gags; Not for you if you want smarter humor or something like Where’s the Money with more charm.
Pros: occasional big laughs; silly competition setup; friendship theme | Cons: forced gross-out humor; uneven pacing; childish, toxic vibe
