Look Around You

[Sharaya]

I thought it was fair at best. The best part was the few seconds of kittens fighting. Seriously that was the only part I even cracked a smile at.

Watching the second episode 

Ill say it does have potential.  But thats it.

Id rather watch the Xtacles though... What happened to that show. It was funny!

[dotheswim]

ghost, brain, iron, and calcum are great u can find them all on youtube. ghost and brain have great cameos by edgar wright

[H4ze]

I thought it was horrible they ruin tv with that Funfetti.

[funky_branca]

I love it. Always have.

Also, Xtacles isn't happening, and Frisky Dingo isn't coming back. I guess you haven't heard the bad news, 70/30 Productions shut its doors, and therefore, no more FD, or Xtacles.

[dotheswim]

yeah whats the deal with them shutting doors i heard it was because the 2 guys who were in charge (sorry forgot names) decided they didnt want to work together anymore or something

[funky_branca]

It's all basically explained here.

[chickendogMonster]

I thought it was ok...   chuckled a few times.  the first one was better.  the egg bit took up half of the second one & i just wasn't getting it.  i'll watch a couple more.

[CodeguruXX]

I looked straight at it the whole time, where's the brak show?...

I think ill like The Mighty Boosh better, but

this would be a good surprise show, marathon for april fools

[Swatsinger]

I thought this genuinely was one of the funniest shows [adult swim] has ever aired.

[extrafacelol]

I thought it was totally boss and you are all bad at having opinions

go have opinions somewhere else, they aren't wanted here. (life)

[scrapyard]

its briliant i luv it

[churippu]

Hated it. It's unfunny monty python. Burn it with fire.

When it first came on I litterally WTF'd outloud because I thought sesame street some how had gotten onto AS,.. that is until I saw the word MATHS in the center of my screen. I sat, I watched MATHS, I watched Water.. I did not laugh. I tried to have an open mind .. didn't happen, rusted shut like an old bear trap. 

[trogov]

was enjoyable.... The Mighty Boosh might be better though.... still a nice British comedy that i will continue to watch

TMB is alot better. I love Ol' Gregg.

This show is funny though, and as I feared not many would get it. Which makes me fear for TMB.

To the contrary, this is one of the shows on [adult swim] that you have to be clearheaded and focused to enjoy. Most of the humor is derived from the ridiculous facts that, if you're actually observing, you will immediately realise are hilarious and misleading. You wouldn't be able to catch "whiskey is made out of hydrogen and water" while you're drunk and high.

[choujiguy]

The egg thing was funny because the guy kept on burning his hand

 that was actualy my favorite part

[funky_branca]

The egg thing was funny too because of "look out for the release of the new albumen. It's out now!"

Which I'm not sure if I got correctly, because it could be a much smarter joke than what I assume it is and laughed at that went over my head, but what I did get from it was hilarious.

[NathanMosaic37]

I didn't like it at all.

I'll give it another shot next week, but I doubt my opinion will change.

It's too slow for 1:00 am.  At that time of night, I need gut-busters...not dry Brit-Wit.

I'm not saying a show can't be smart AND funny (see Venture Bros., Boondocks, Mission Hill, etc)...but LAY was just too dry.

Also, live shows can work on [as] when done right (or are zany enough to justify their inclusion).

T&E work because those cats are pretty much cartoon characters.  Look Around You just wasn't zany enough to warrant being on [as], IMO.

I can live with it  if it's only a one-shot deal (first season only)...or if they change the time slot (instead of 2 FGs put this in place of one of them).  Honestly "Square-One TV" from back in the days would be a better fit on [as] than this show was. 

The funny thing is that there was a hillarious commercial for Tax-Slayer.com right before this show came on in my area, & I was thinking "Wow, Look Around You is on some crazy ish...I dig it".  Then the show actually came on and the energy was s-u-c-k-e-d- out of the room.

I understand that everyone has their favorite shows...but it seemed like after 12:30, there was really no reason to watch [as] last night.

If LAY is going to remain on the schedule, it needs to be re-slotted in the lineup.  Since there's nothing really offensive/graphic about the show (as opposed to say Superjail), it should be aired earlier.  I'd move SUperjail back and play LAY at  11:45 (in between the "Seth" shows & ATHF). This gives it a bigger audience to see if it deserves to be in the lineup...and it allows the later parts of the block to be wacky without having LAY break up the flow of those comedies.

"Maths" was hilarious, I was laughing the entire time. But then "Water" reminded me why I found the show kind of boring the first time through watching it. It had some funny parts and some not-so-funny parts. All and all, "Water" was just OK for me (I didn't really get how the egg experiment was supposed to be funny).

His hand getting redder and redder, peeling more and more, as he reached into the boiling water each time; "New Albumen, OUT NOW"; the test-tube of tea; trying to use a spoon to get the egg, dropping it, and realizing with dread that he has to reach in there again.

I found it hilarious.

[SkipToMyLou]

The Brak Show is lightyears ahead of this garbage.

In the end he had a glove on the scalded hand too.

I swear this show is what Modern Marvels  or How It's Made would look if a cult leader produced it.
