TV Anti-Recommendation: Bunk
Jun. 13th, 2012 01:50 pmI took a quick break from my studies and decided to take a look at a new IFC comedy game show, Bunk.
You know how some comedy is based on intelligence? And if it is mean-spirited, it is at least intelligently mean and able to deflate from the meanness if there's a good reason?
This show's comedy is just stupid and mean. Insult a puppy? Draw scary arms on a picture of a statue suspiciously like the Venus De Milo all while an intern tears up unneeded money and the host (ugh) tries to find a date for the woman playing his grandmother with the putatively-married aide?
That was the first seven minutes. I never need to see another minute of that show.
