The Upright Citizens Brigade - The Complete First Season (1998)

not funny, just outrageous

I thought this would be like Mr. Show, which I loved. It was outrageous in its subjects, but just not funny. Sometimes if you want something to be funny it helps, but I wanted to find this funny and instead found it extremely boring. Don't waste your time. November 20, 2007

If you liked the show, then obviously you will like this!

Not much to say but if you liked the show, then you will obviously like the DVD! February 21, 2007

I am a Supercool addict...........

This was one of the funniest shows ever made. It is with in the top two all time best written shows. It kept getting better at the show went on and there were so many jokes interlaced between all the episodes. So clean under the tables, say no to Supercool and remember Jesus says TAKE IT TO THE HOLE! June 10, 2006

1 Other thing better.

This DVD is sooo worth the buy. THE 2ND SEASON NEEDS TO COME OUT! Its been several years since the show has been cancelled. The 2nd season is even better than the first. March 11, 2006

You love it or hate it

As you can tell by my five start I loved it! The show wasn't promoted much and only lasted a season on Comedy Central. I was left wanting much much more! Here's a little test, if you find these situations comical at all then you'll like UCB:

• Prejudice against astronauts
  
• Thunderball - a baseball-like game, except:
  
  
  
  1. You carry the bat around the bases to help you get by defenders, unless you throw it and hit certain targets for extra points, but that leaves you defenseless going around the bases
     
  2. One inning there is a car either team can get in and use to run over the other team
     
  3. Pitchers are allowed three ceramic balls, which will shatter sending fragments into the batters' faces if they hit them
     
  4. There's a gun circle in the outfield, a circle with a loaded revolver that no one is allowed to use of course unless maybe a wild animal is on the field and needs to be put down
     
  
  
• Cape Canaveral and Houston fighting with competing robot arms on the shuttle:
  
  
  
  1. Cape Canaveral: What's that?!?
     
  2. Houston: Jettisoning Russel Arm!
     
  3. Cape Canaveral: Jettisoning Jefferson Arm!
     
  4. Astronaut: What's going on?!?
     
  5. Cape Canaveral: Don't worry, the Jefferson Arm will be picked up on a gravity-assist fly-by.
     
  6. Houston: And the Russel Arm is made of composites that will withstand re-entry.
     
  7. Astronaut: What about me?
     
  8. Cape Canaveral: Don't worry, the shuttle is equipped with an SC-2000.
     
  9. Astronaut: SC-2000?
     
  10. Houston: Yes, the, uh..., Space-Coffin 2000.
