General_G The tagline to this show is seriously f**ked up sketch comedy show. I call it seriously confusing and unfunny. Comedy Central always has to have some strange, unfunny show and this was one of them. After this it was Primetime Glick. Now its Mind of Mencia. At least Comedy Central doesn't show the re-runs that often. I am going say that if I worked at Comedy Central and I was put in charge of what show I had to put on as a re-run at 1:00 AM and I had to choose between Upright Citizens Brigrade and Primetime Glick, I would choose this because it isn't as annoying and screwed up as Jiminy Glick that jackass. At least its got Amy Poehler and Matt Walsh.

Josh D First, I want to say that this review is opinion only. In fact, EVERYTHING you read on this site (at least, the fan comments portion) is opinion only. Try to remember that a show that may be "da bomb" to one person may just "bomb" to another. I'm not going to demand that you watch the show, or that you don't watch the show. Why? Because I understand that all you're looking for is an opinion, and that you are (like myself) probably laughing your asses off at the posters that are yelling, "YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS!" or "THIS BLOWS CHUNKS! WATCH IT AND DIE!" That being said: Upright Citizens Brigrade was a short-lived (3-season) show on Comedy Central, based on the improv sketch comedy of a team of comedians who started in Chicago, but now operate their own improv theater in New York. The sketches themselves are probably best-described as "bizarre to the extreme" - or, in more laymen's terms, "seriously f***** up". It's been compared as an American "Monty Python's Flying Circus" or "The Kids in the Hall".I found the show to be incredibly funny. The humor, again, is off-color and off-kilter at times, and I can admit that it would not be palatable to all people - not even to all sketch-comedy fans. The gimmicks are quirky and can delve into sometimes-touchy subjects in an unusual manner, but I find this refreshing. As has been previously stated, each episode is made up of a series of seemingly-unrelated sketches that culminate in a final sketch that wraps up all the stories (usually in an appropriately strange manner; you know a show is weird when a town hall/church blasts off on rocket boosters, taking the alien dolphin threat with it).I have seen most of season 1 and quite a bit of seasons 2 and 3, and wish that Comedy Central would bring the show back regularly. If your humor tastes run toward the highly bizarre, give it a shot; if you don't like it, then say so. But do us all a favor and don't play television God, and demand that everyone sees it immediately/doesn't see it at all - or at least know that I'll be laughing at your stupidity.

Nirvanabreed5944-1 The people who don't like this show always use vague examples such as "not funny" and "bad writing". I think it's because they just can't find something funny that isn't filled with celebrity references and cameos to keep their attention. Now, I'm a huge fan of shows with those types of references... "The Simpsons", "The Critic", "South Park", but I'll remember sketches such as the Ugly Club, and Pro Thunderball far longer than I'll ever remember a cheap one liner about Barbara Streisand.

Xophianic I love sketch comedy. SNL and The Daily Show are two of my favourite shows ever, and I also like Monty Python and Kids in the Wall a lot. So I was willing to try out Upright Citizens Brigade. The commercials were right, this is some seriously ****ed up sketch comedy, but it's also pretty funny. The way they tie stuff together at the beginning is great, and hardly ever done in sketch comedy. The timing is great, the jokes are funny and the show is original. What more could you want. I also really like Amy Poehler, the cute, funny and talented comedienne who steals every scene she's in.
