These had me rolling...... Fucking hilarious.  Hank is comic gold the first 3 episodes.  He also plays an assassin in Gotham.  

This is maybe my favorite comedy to come out this year.  Hader is killing it as the straight man and has directed all the episodes too.  Hoping for a quick pickup by HBO, who has a pretty good track record of giving out 2nd seasons.

    I wish Barry would put a Chechen bullet in all of you talking about fast forwarding through an amazing 25 minute television show.

Bored to Death is on my list to go back and watch again, but (absent any info on how it's doing with ratings) I don't see Barry as having the same problem or really being that similar.  The jokes are mostly jokes and you can explain the premise of the show in a single sentence that conveys what it is.

Agreed, and why it such a simple yet perfect show.

Yeah this is kind of how I feel.  I reminds me of "Bored to Death" in a way.... I LOVED that show but it had a very specific sense of humor about it that wouldn't play to the masses... and I know HBO isn't all about the ratings and they do let smart shows breath a little... but I just worry Barry will suffer the same fate as Bored to Death... have a really strong cult following that loves it but won't be enough to carry on for multiple seasons... even on HBO.

I hadn't really thought of that, but it's a good comparison. I loved Bored to Death and my wife was indifferent. So far we've both had the same reaction to Barry for whatever that's worth.

Yeah I think Barry is probably a little bit more palatable to a larger audience than Bored to Death was, but it's still pretty unconventional.  It's really funny but then it can be pretty dark. Barry strangling the guy by the fence was a pretty brutal scene that might turn people off who are looking for a "ha ha" Bill Hader show.   

I (and many of us here) seem to love it, but I wonder (hope) that a wider audience does as well so the show sticks around for a while.

Same. I avoided it because I'm not a big Jason Schwartzman fan. But the few episode I did see I kinda liked.

Picked up today for season 2.

Yeah this show continues to deliver.  

Stephen Root is so great.  Loved him just showing up at the party, lol.

 

Loved Winkler auditioning for “guy in back of line”. Also his “date”.
Any scene with him, really.

I'd watch a show just with this guy and his texts.

Another soild ep. Did anyone believe the girl wasn't going to drop him as soon as someone else with better connections came along? Un-defeated.

Should be interesting with the interloper trying to muscle in on Barry's gig.

^Yeah, his way back in is to intimidate her "agent" read, Weinstein.

Yeah loved the "agent's" classic move... of:

1. "Hey... let's bang." 

2. (Girl clearly not interested...)

3. "ZOMG I was only kidding!!!"

4. Well....Bye.

Yep, he has been the highlight of the show for me and about all that is keeping me hanging on at this point.

OK his reading of GGR was fucking hysterical.  

 

So awesomely bad. 

Never been a fan of Hader but I love this show. He is perfect in it

Another great episode. Love. This. Show.

LEEROY JENKINS!!!

Plus the cartoon text, killing it.

Still think this is probably a show that would run out of steam after the first season.

Yes the bald dude with his texts are freaking hysterical.

The "Goran wants to meet" followed by his "Oh no!" Bitmoji (that looked exactly like him) was freaking great.

Be on the lookout for a man with no discernible features. He killed your friend. 

The gulp text was hilarious, but this was also a pretty good background chuckle -

a) everyone else has acting headshots up and is a barista/works at the gap then there's Barry, the auto parts salesman from Cleveland with the DL photo where he looks like a murderer or at least a peeping tom

"My gut says we're missing something"
"Boss, do you think any of these cupcakes could honestly be a criminal?"

also, the black guy - "ties to drug dealers", and they guy whose picture he's holding "has part in CSI"

Root doing Ramon in his Milton voice killed me.

Fucking Stephen Root, man.  That guy is a national treasure.

This show is so good. I hate that it's only half an hour and I have wait a week to get my fix.

I hope they never kill the bald dude. But I'm really hating the "blonde" chick. Hopefully they start redeeming her or kill her off.

He needs to get over Sally.  She's a piece of shit.

 

 

Edit:  Holy shit!!!

Edited by TriStone

I think Sally is way down on the list at the moment.

I wasn't ever much of a Hader fan before this but I'm really digging this show.

Fonzi still bringin' it after all these years.

Holy shit.  That last ending was a bit intense.

So awesome. 

In the same episode as that ending was a scene with full dialog going on with a pron scene going on in the background. So great. 

Absolutely loving this. Also, concur with others: less blondie and 10x more baldy.

This show is really, really good.

Yeah that last scene... holy shit.

jesus the first 10 minutes, i had to rewind just to catch my breath and hear everything.

"the scottish king" and winkler saying he's 47 years old.  little details are slaying me.

i thought he was 65-70, but he's 73.  wow.

This show is kicking ass. So much to like about it. The drama feels authentic which is a great setup for the comedic moments. Barry playing the straight man works perfectly with all of the absurdity that surrounds him. The Fonz and Root brought their A game.

The dinner "date" with the detective has been my favorite scene so far. Their bizarre flirtation killed me.

Baldy is a good character too but I think he is dead now.

Wrong Baldy.

“What can I say? I’m a gear head”. A bunch of funny parts mixed with some dark stuff. I enjoy this one quite a bit 

My wife and I were rolling during the porn scene in the background..chic was pegging man and man says "Oh it's soo long"

In that one station scene, I liked the partner/detective in the background expressing concern about a new lot he parked in.
