Awkward moments can be funny, but they aren't automatically going to be as the lazy writing of this show attests. The mockumentary thing just seems tired at this point, taking cues from Christopher Guest (Best In Show, Waiting For Guffman, A Mighty Wind), Ricky Gervais (The Office), Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm), and The Daily Show's field reporter's bits, at best without really bringing anything new to the table, at worst significantly dumbing their influences down. This show is just as good or bad as Reno 911, and like that show I think Dog Bites Man's limited appeal lies more in engaging the viewer with the plots and characters than in the moments and lines intended to pass for gags.

I actually really enjoy this programme! The pilot was difficult to get into but I really get it now and I think it's really really funny! The jokes are smart where i think you can watch it a second time and probably catch more!This combines a sitcom story-line with a genius mix of (i guess) real life expressions on the faces of by standers as the crew make muppets of themselves!I wanted to compare it with the Ali G show... and i just found out it was created by the same person who brought us that! So I think it's fair to say if you like ALi G... you'll like this!

This show is hilarious. It's quick, funny, and original. It subtly and slyly walks the fine line between totally inappropriate, and completely hilarious. The cast is all great. This show about an incredibly incompetent news crew is a welcome breath of fresh air among all these other faux news/talk shows on Comedy Central. (i.e. "The Daily Show", "The Colbert Report" and that stupid celebrity show that David Spade does.) Unfortunately "Dog Bites Man" seems to be taking a lot of heat. Don't listen to those who don't get it. Hopefully this one will be around for a while, but watch this before Comedy Central realizes they have something good and cancels it.And for Matt Walsh fans, this blows Upright Citizen's Brigade out of the water.

I am positive that if all of the good mockumentaries didn't exist, this wouldn't. The characters and style are translucent rip-offs of a lot of other TV programs I actually enjoy watching. I was bored watching this, and the entire fake-news comedy is barely involved in the show. The creators would probably say that this relationship between the two ex-lovers was a satire, but I think the show actually wants it to be like a daytime soap. Mockumentaries are hard to have laugh out loud jokes and this doesn't really know that. "Dog Bites Man" thinks all of the obnoxious jokes that you see a lot on "Family Guy" and in the Monty Python movies are actually funny. They aren't. Save your time, this is too boring, watch something else at 10:30.Thumbs down.
