Way too many writers trying to emulate a goofiness and sensibility of a bygone era. A giant line of famous faces and aspiring "comedy world people" scurrying to rub elbows with Mel Brooks. Or, at least the idea of Mel Brooks. Is it attempting to be transcendent and/or higher-budget satire? Is it absurdity for the sake of it? I think it's that so much is sat squarely on your nose that there's no room for an organic laugh to find room between "Yeah, I get it" thoughts. What is the joke and where is the punchline? It's like watching "The Characters" which was like watching an hours-long cringe-worthy later-season sketch from Saturday Night Live. Then you have so much 4th wall breaking looking for like meta self-awareness? I wonder if the cast just felt dirty in between takes or felt like they were trying too hard to keep the mood up.

Not entirely sure this works as a series. While the original was “episodic” or “sketches” each section was still in and out and on to the next time. Here it’s dipping in and out of various times/sketches and going back to them later. It doesn’t give the setting settle in and the act breaks are in weird places which also effects the joke momentum. I think another pass should have been taken on presentation before releasing this. It has funny bits and moments, the cast is overall great in all their varying roles but the bouncing back and forth makes it hard for the audience to connect to those roles. Especially with Nick Kroll and Ike Bairinholtz being the main actors in most segments while also being supporting players in the others it’s a lot of those 2.

I stopped halfway episode 4. Just no. Btw I’ve seen spaceballs in theaters and pissed in my pants. The time for this kind of show is long gone
