About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want over-the-top 1970s TV hijinks and a fast, ridiculous comedy vibe; Not for you if you dislike the same style of gross-out/absurd humor like Step Brothers or Talladega Nights.
Pros: quotable absurd comedy; huge cast fun; carefree group energy | Cons: repetitive humor; may feel loud; hit-or-miss jokes
