    It's not clear what this factory produces. But the show may be creating exactly the product its audience wants.

    The humor is sexist, racy and often falls flat, but when it does work, it connects in a way a male-centric audience--and that's Spike's bread and butter--will appreciate.

    It's a mixed bag of un-PC attempts at blue collar humor as four guys yak and try to avoid doing their jobs.

    The mood of dark comedy isn’t sustained. Factory quickly devolves into a meaningless slapstick of goofy faces and a forced awkwardness that suggests the vision of someone who has watched “Curb Your Enthusiasm” over and over but has still not figured out what makes it so funny.
