    If you only know Bob from Breaking Bad and David from Arrested Development you are clearly not a fan of comedy and have no business reviewing this show.Bob Odenkirk was a writer for SNL, David Letterman and Get a Life. He created Tenacious D and has written,directed,produced and starred in most of Tim and Eric's work and tons of other Adult Swim shows.He is a comedy god and he never even saw Breaking Bad before he was on it(Google it).If you watched this show because of Breaking Bad you're a mental midget who should have his internet privileges suspended.For those who have brains, this show is an awesome reincarnation of Mr. Show.It's sketch comedy for smart people who like to laugh.Most people won't get it because SNL has tricked people into believing that sketch comedy is just supposed to be the same unfunny recurring characters and prerecorded "songs".This show(and Mr. Show) never did lame jokes about politics that make a show almost unwatchable after a few months.Eight-teen years after Mr. Show you can still watch it and not know that it's old.This show will be the same way.A true timeless comedy classic.If you're just a Saul fan don't bother with this show.It is far beyond anything you can comprehend.

    Laugh track, Bad jokes, and Poorly executed jokesThese are all done on purpose and that doesn't make it good. If a bad movie knows it's a bad movie, that doesn't make it a good movie.This show feels like they dug into a dumpster and found a folder containing all the rejected skits from Saturday Night Live and that does not make it funny.If you're one of the people that can laugh at bad movies like Scary Movie or Sharknado, this might be something you'd enjoy.I, for one, am tired of shows selling off the idea of "we're lazy and that's why it's good!" to the simple-minded who accept bad writing because it makes them laugh.

    I have literally no words for how funny this show was. It began and ended with outrageous amounts of sarcasm and satire which I have not seen before in comedy as often as I would have wished for. The actors are fantastic and create an exciting and humorous environment, yet with a deeper story in some segments that really lured your attention away from the fact that it was comedy. I believe this is due to the fact that these amazing actors work together dynamically enough to create such a unique approach by perfectly executing their roles which in this case is being themselves which I find hilarious. This show makes me wish we had more comedy shows that dared to make satire/sarcastic content such as this which takes great amounts of guts. Splendid! 10/10

    I admit, I primarily watched this because of Bob Odenkirk's tremendous performance as Saul from the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul series. I recognise him as a terrific actor with great scope. Netflix have done some amazing original TV programming, primarily from giving artists the freedom to express themselves and therefore I was hoping big things from this sketch comedy. I guess it was a mistake to enter this show with such high expectations. Many of the jokes had been done before in other sketch shows. I guess it is hard to be original in today's day and age. Replace Homeopathy with Aromatherapy etc... I think that many of the jokes must be funnier if you have lived American Life rather than experienced a reflection of it through cinema and television; I know why something was meant to be funny, but I did not laugh because I could not personally relate. In the four episodes there were two sketches I enjoyed and remembered, but I do not think this is enough to actually recommend a friend to watch W/ Bob & David. In the show's defence, much of the production and editing is first class. The costumes, photography, locations and sound are of the highest quality. It is merely the comedy that falls a little flat for my taste. (P.S I like sketch shows and sketch show comedy. Some great shows in my opinion are: That Mitchel and Webb Look; Monty Python's Flying Circus; Little Britain; The Benny Hill Show; Harry Enfield and Chums; Not the nine o'clock news; Saturday night live)
