No way. If Sports Show which had to have cost negative dollars to produce got axed, this show is one-and-done. At least they're still airing them.

I just watched the last two episodes. I'm still all in, I can't help it, I love the show.

The thing with the sound guy last night was annoying then hilarious. Especially when he got on the phone and you could only hear him talk back through the phone, off in the distance.

It's so bizarre.
Yeah, the sound guy being kidnapped was pretty hilarious. The guy with the note that said I Can't Read and then the JK note brought it to the next level.

Re: Jon Benjamin Has a Van - Comedy Central Series

The Do You Have a Minute? segments were an absolute waste!

But the rest of last Wed.'s episode was hilarious!

Wheelchair Gun, the jazz air-guitarist bit in the intro, collecting the ransom money via $200 max transactions at an ATM parked in the middle of the desert!

That entire progression from Were-Jew to a fisted Were-Homo to jumping in the van with a bunch of werewolves was offbeat. My favorite bit of tonite's ep however had to be the 'Switcheroo' segment that parodied the Wife Swap-type shows ("Sheila is white, our nanny is black." )

Re: Jon Benjamin Has a Van - Comedy Central Series

Suicide is by far the best ep so far. Hope they keep this level up.

Reaction Jackson was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. I've watched it at least ten times.

The We'll Make You Look Like Your Pet pomeranian makeover was hilarious.

This week's ep was a step up from last week's "Van Scheme", but those man-on-the-street segments where Jon asks random passersby to hang up on their phone or look into the camera for a minute are 'terrible'...granted this week's bit did integrate with the ep's gypsy curse theme.

I like the spontaneous feel of the show, but I can't help but think it should be better.

You guys are nuts. I found this on Netflix and fucking LOVE it. It's bizarre and very very funny.

The Cruising homage was sketch comedy heaven.

This show forever ruined my image of the guy voicing Archer.
