Os Impegáveis

If you've seen the Chris D'Elia Laugh Factory videos on youtube and got a good laugh and enjoyment from them and his style, there's a pretty solid chance Undateable will be right up your alley! There's already a whole slew of threads hating on this show and I genuinely don't get it, most look like they didn't watch 10 minutes of the first episode. Perhaps in a similar way to how Brooklyn Nine-Nine got hated on straight away because some silly people don't actually want to laugh, this show seems to be getting a fair bit of that same totally unwarranted hate.

I'm not a fan of laugh tracks but with that said, Undateable is the first show I didn't really notice or care for it, quite likely I was laughing so much it was right over the top of it and I just didn't notice, after all the first two episodes are really funny. As for having a laugh track (not that it needs one), well good, I'm kind of glad in a way. There's a lot of people who aren't fortunate enough to have a wicked sense of humor and so a laugh track can help lube up the pipes for a good belly chuckle for those less fortunates. I'm hoping this show will be like TBBT or Rules of Engagement or Cheers and the laugh track will help allow the show to be enjoyed by an even wider range of people and hence turning Undateable into a super popular show that gets quite a few solid seasons.

As for all the naysayers and hate mongerers out there, ping ping pew pew ping ping, stop with all the negative vibes, man. If you genuinely didn't laugh at anything in the first or second episode, perhaps you need to call the Laugh Factory and see if you can get your laugh prescription refilled, that or you need to call the suicide hotline. It's funny (this show - not your stupid suicide) period, stop hating just because you want others to fail.

I get the whole, oh it's been done before, but I ask you this, is it a cop/crime/talent/hospital/prank/csi/elimination/reality show? What's that, No? no it's not! Oh cool, well then enjoy it and give it a chance you zombies.

A comedy like this has been needed for ages, and while there's been a lot of comedies that have tried to fill this void, a lot 'just miss' that special something, like the characters are just a little too oddly cast, or the writing isn't quite good enough or et al. Well finally Undateable nails it all! You could put it on and a family could watch it, it's not just for super young people or super old people or a fresh and funky comedy targeted at 20-somethings. It's a good all round comedy and very funny.

If you like Rules of Engagement, The Big Bang Theory, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, That '70s Show, Cheers or a range of other comedies, then I'd definitely recommend giving this a shot! I got a whole bunch of great laughs from the first few episodes and I really hope this show does well!

Lets be clear guys if you want a good laugh you should watch the show.. It does not have a plot or storyline but its good comedy.. Mainly because of Chris D'Elia he will do something completely random and stupid which will make you laugh like crazy.. As for the rest of the cast I might say I was not really impressed as most of the time it looks like Chris saves the day but nonetheless they are quite good you might see their inexperience if you are a fan of Comedy TV Shows as it looks too scripted. One big recommendation just watch this show to see Chris D'Elia who will not fail to impress you if you are not much of a fan of Him. All in all I appreciate the show now everyone has their tastes.. I like the comedy in here sometimes it looks like they try to hard but as always Chris is there to save the day. I really have become a big fan of his, give it a try!

First i gotta say, The Performance of Chris D'Elia is so applaudable, iv watched him before in "Whitney" and definitely he steels the show where ever you put him in, so hilarious with that dorky full of banter character with his dynamic physical comedy.

Keeping the show up on the same level of authenticity and originality is a bit hard in Sitcoms... So i'm reviewing this just after watching the premiere of the second season and they'r just rolling on the same level of hilarious acting representing an even more hilarious writing.

The mix of the two characters of "Justin"and"Danny" , one is detached who you won't expect much of "emotionally" and the other is just the exact opposite is so recreative and full of many possibilities .

One of the new funny scenarios they started in the second season is when they start to act a fake trial or fake funeral .. .really hilarious :D

Thank god they gave it a chance and renew it for a second season and hopefully more to come.

Way funnier than I thought it would be! From the promo, I thought it would be barely tolerable, but I found myself laughing quite a bit! It's about an emotionally detached guy who becomes roommates with a man who is very much the opposite. They throw in a few other socially awkward guys and 2 pretty girls to make a great mix! Good cast chemistry for being so new. Wasn't sure how I would feel about the lead character(the guy from Witney) because I felt that show was trying way too hard, but he is very like able in this show! Love the girl who plays Nikki. She is from Ground Floor on tbs. Pretty much enjoy all the cast, they did a great job casting. Funny,funny,funny!

Give it a try!

Now in its second season (I did not watch the first), "Undateable" is a show with an unusual conceit: not only is the action live, but the actors acknowledge that, and the show centers on that fact. The actors interact with the audience. Cameras show the audience in the studio. They have a live band that interacts with the actors and the audience. In short, the concept of "breaking" while in character is not only acceptable, but encouraged.

I have seen criticisms in the posts saying that such breaking is "amateurish". Well, this is a comedy; it's not like they are performing "Hamlet". And when it's intentional, it's not amateurish.

I have attended many plays, both amateur and professional. Some of the funniest moments I have seen onstage involved actors breaking character and embracing or enchancing the humor in the situation. What's interesting is that it happens (almost) exclusively with professionals. Amateurs are not secure enough to take the risk. So it's not amateurish.

That being said, this show is not for everyone, because not everyone will appreciate that conceit. It can come across as too cute if not controlled, which is where the director comes in.

In "Undateable", they even have recognizable guests who play "themselves".

And they sometimes treat their fellow actor as both the character and as the actor playing that character.

For me, this is like attending a play, keeping the immediacy and the risk of a live performance.
