Krod Mandoon - Fantasy show - Comedy Central

[Dannyalcatraz]

An excellent point about Mel, but with him, it always feels genuine- after all, he grew up in and around Vaudeville, so its natural for his humor to exploit the Vaudevillian style.

In contrast, Krod just seemed telegraphed or forced at times.

Still, I'm going to give it at least one more episode to prove itself- I can't do any less, having given The Mighty Boosh 2 episodes...

Hmm. A show that's a parody of a genre that isn't well-represented in contemporary mainstream media to begin with. What, are they trying to lampoon Ator?

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet. This seems to be a british production that Comedy Central contributed funding to. As such, the series only has six episodes. Not much time to "give it a chance" if you don't like it right off the hop. Hopefully it will prove amusing though, as I like a number of the actors involved.

I thought the bad guy was classic. Stabbing the wrong guy, the codpiece, the "thrashing of Mandoon", etc.

Corny as hell, but funny, nonetheless.

I thought it was kinda funny.

I don't watch a lot of TV so I didn't know anyone in it but the black guy, and I don't know his name, but the guy playing Krod kinda reminded me of Ben Stiller.

Sorry to hear it's only got six episodes.

Danny mentioned the Mighty Boosh. I saw that the other night by accident after suffering from insomnia. Very odd show. I'm not much for skinny, long-haired, Brit hippy guys with bad horse teeth dressed in knee high white platform boots, but I gotta admit that show made me laugh a couple of times too.

Great job!

Still, I thought Krod was funnier, because that Swami in the Boosh gives me the creeps.

But I don't see no resemblance to Monty Python in either.

I caught it again last night. It was pretty much more of the same, but this way I don't wind up having to watch "Countdown" for the second time on Thursday nights.

But you've only been a prisoner for two weeks.

And this is a co-ed prison.


Well, I have watched a couple of episodes and it has its moments. The idea in an upcoming episode for a "Biclops" has me chuckling.

Yeah... after that prison joke, I'm not enthusiastic about what kind of joke they pull off with something called a "biclops".

The portions of the show that focus on absurd humor are the parts I appreciate most.

Here's hoping the blurb about "battling a one-eyed monster" isn't the best thing about the episode...
