Hot Date

Nothing brings a smile to my face like the CollegeHumor cast from when I was in college, they had an uncanny ability to see through the bull and call it like it is in a clever, hilarious way. This show is the epitome of that by two of my favorites Emily and Murphy. My wife and I have been cruising through the episodes laughing the whole time. Maybe it's a generational or situational thing but we relate to so much in the show that it makes it that much more enjoyable (we're 29 and 31). Worth checking out regardless, a lot of slapstick as well as clever humor. Just found a gem, wish I knew about it when it originally aired.

This show is hilarious, it's a shame it didn't last longer than 1 season. Sure some parts are extremely over the top, but it's genuinely funny and definitely worth checking out on Netflix.

I was desperate to find something to watch on Saturday afternoon because I was too lazy to work in the yard. I was hoping to find something to stimulate my intellect...kidding...I needed something to numb my brain for 2-4 hours. I found this series all instantly fell in love with the female lead. This woman has crazy good talent and a dazzling array of wigs. Listen, I am 30 years older than the male lead but I can identify with the awfulness and futility of dating. It's a death spiral that makes you appreciate self-love and ordering in until said spiral ends and your loving family pushes your Viking funeral boat into the sea, lighting with a firey arrow. I know I'm all over the map but trust me when I say you will be entertained.

If you enjoyed Em and Murph's material from their CollegeHumor days, this is a wonderful extension of their sense of humor. For those who are getting first introduced to their material, this is a fun, carefree show composed of connected, albeit loosely, sketches almost entirely played by the duo. Worth checking out!

"Hot Date" is a a comedy starring Emily Axford and Brian Murphy. It feels like a sketch show, but the individual pieces intertwine, forming a whole that is quirky and contemporary. The two stars morph into multiple characters, exploring relationships and parodying popular conventions and au courant practices.

The humor is smart. They have an uncanny eye for piercing the veils of propriety and self-delusion. The result is a style that may be more about chuckling than laughing out loud, depending upon your perspective. Watch and decide for yourself.
