    It was barely funny. They tried to put too much, with too many and you get a very diffuse and unfocus result.

    The show was funny, with a few painful parts in between the funny parts.

    Funny at times, but simply not enough to keep me interested. When I first saw the commercials, I believed that it's humorous potential wasn't being justified by them, but I was wrong. Plot isn't interesting, just boring. Often at times, the jokes and gags didn't hit the spot.

    Not very funny overall. Gave it a 4 instead of 3 because I had 1 laugh watching the pilot.

    It's almost impossible to discern the comedic intelligences behind this drab cartoon about a high school faculty.

    Sit Down is raw, vulgar and blithely offensive, with so many triple and quadruple entendres for so many sexual acts, I lost count.

    Bateman and Arnett make the most of what they're given, but Sit Down, Shut Up seems to be caught up in actually trying to have a plot and then partly tossing off zany one-liners (with a focus on anatomy).
