About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want edgy, sketch-and-stand-up comedy that tackles taboo topics and doesn’t pull punches, especially if you like Key and Peele; Not for you if crude, offensive, or uncomfortable jokes are a dealbreaker.
Pros: nonstop laugh-out-loud sketches; bold social satire; endlessly rewatchable bits | Cons: crude and vulgar moments; uneven sketch hit-rate; can offend some viewers
