Derivative Youtube sketches passed off as a real television show
Lancaster_Dodd20 June 2016
As somebody who doesn't listen to Brandon Schaub and Bryan Callen's podcast, this project does nothing for me. The episode "Sitcom" in which they rip off Charlie Kaufman, Mr. Show, and even The Matrix in under 5 minutes best sums up why this doesn't work. They deride conventional formulas without realizing that you can't experiment until you're comfortable with the basics. No amount of untimely movie references or over the top fever dream sequences can change that this feels amateur and passionless. Callen's acting is rather campy which at least offers something better than Brandon's insecure middle-school-play performances. I will say the production value is better than expected. That FOX money made this look a lot better than Youtube sketch comedy of this caliber ever should.

Maybe check it out if you're a fan of their podcast. Otherwise, I'd recommend some of Mitch Rouse's more serious work, especially Strangers with Candy.

This duo unfortunately got divorced last year

The chemistry you see on screen that makes you feel uncomfortable, is from the secret only they know about...an inside joke if you will.

Now in 2021, the groups secrets are out, the duo split. Callen does a happy little Conspiracy show with a grifter, and Brundan Swab rotates in guests of whoever won't be embarrased to be a guest.

Here's hoping for a reunion for tFATk 4D!

The Fighter and the Kid 3D
orlandoflores-8486322 July 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I am a fan of the fighter and the kid podcast. Bryan is a talented actor and comedian. Brendan was a good fighter and has made big strides in the entertainment business. I want to get the 3D show since the beginning but waited for it to be on iTunes. the trailers I had seen gave the show to be funny and witty. I am sorry to say this, but it was a huge let. There were funny scenes here and their but not enough for me to consider this a funny 12 episode comedy show. I bought this show because Bryan and Brendan are funny on the podcast. Bryan has said this is some of the most funniest writing he has done. He has to be lying to himself, because down deep inside he must know this is not funny. So for who ever watches this before listening to the podcast, don't be fooled. They are hilarious on the fighter and the kid podcast.

Seriously the lamest "sketch show" I've ever seen.

Who thought this was actually funny? Two janitors could have created something more interesting.

I'll give you example what it is like sitting through this malignant pile of s***.

Scene one:

Bryan walks in and says "Hey Brendan".

Brendan: "...He..hiyah..Ryan. Whatchu.uh?"

Brendan attempts to make a "funny"face but instead creates a truly disgusting facial expression that makes you think of Lenny from 'Of Mice and Men'.

Bryan: "What's wrong, Brendan?

Brendan then soils himself.

End Scene.

This is the kind of 'treat' you are in-store for while watching this piece of garbage. I guess it is kind of inspiring someone as moronic as Brendan Schuab can pretend to be a comedian for so long, so anything is truly possible.

Despite the lack of being able to talk I love this podcast and all the variations of same. They have the most persistent and most "time on their hands" haters but still have done a ton.
