    These girls are hilarious. They have the kind of personable nature that makes you think you could be friends with them in real life. I am a cheap bastard but if these girls were running a Kickstarter to keep their show going I would without hesitation drop some money on that.

    I have heard them compared to flight of the Conchords alot which I get since they are two friends doing a comical musical, but they are original, their stylings and approach along with the general vibe of the show seems very fresh to me. You got a fan for life girls keep up the good work.    … Expand

    They're cute, they're funny and they love the weird ideas and off the wall concepts. This is a funny show, goes by all too fast. Flight of the Conchords with two girls instead of those guys.

    While the pilot sets the series off to a rather slow start, once you warm to the unique pace and rhythms of their comic delivery, Garfunkel and Oates makes for an endearing half hour experience.

    The first episode is the weakest of the three I've seen, with some good moments but too couched in the nominal premise of struggling performers trying to make it in show business. The sex humor feels similarly conventional. Things quickly improve, however, as the women get stranger and more idiosyncratic.

    They found a way to marry the innate cuteness of their wide-eyed unison singing with frank lyrics to hilarious effect. When the show figures out how to do the same, it will be a force to be reckoned with, but as it stands now, it’s more confused than anything else.
