Beyond reference points and sermons for the converted, With Bob And David is a hilarious triumph on its own merits. Read full review

Terrific sketch comedy: absurd, inventive, surprising, and just damn funny. Read full review

You're not likely to find better sketch comedy on TV. It's a shame there are only four episodes. Read full review

At times endearingly old-fashioned (montages of whirling newspaper headlines), sometimes scatalogical (a time-machine toilet), occasionally blasphemous ("Turkey Jesus"), and totally irreverent (Odenkirk as "Pope Jonah Abromowitz.") The tone can get pointed (Cross as a filmmaker who's such an apologist for slavery he refuses to call it that, instead using the term, "helperism"), but the mood stays buoyant. Read full review

As usual, Odenkirk and Cross' humor ranges from easily explainable silliness that escalates in unexpected and extreme ways to more savvy and formally adventurous sketches that play off the familiar in smartly escalating ways. Read full review

While not every moment works--or even makes sense--the most vital link between old and new is Odenkirk and Cross’s almost-sacred dedication to following the funny as they see it. Viewer mileage always varies the most when it comes to comedy, but dedicated “Mr. Show” fans will likely be happy to spend a little more time W/Bob and David. Read full review

Bob Odenkirk and David Cross’ easy chemistry is still there, but the sketches often feel in style and occasionally in substance so outdated as to be historical curiosities. Read full review

I wish there were more episodes. I truly hope it gets another season. It's similar to the first season of Mr. Show in that some of the jokes fall flat but there's usually one or two hilarious skits in each episode. Any fan of Mr. Show will not be disappointed by it.

I think getting back into the groove will take some time and even in the original show they truly perfected their craft more each season I think this show will be the same if it gets to continue. I really hope they get to make more episodes per season in the future though.… Expand

It's not all great, but man, when it is, like with the Roots and cop bits, it approaches Chappelle's Show territory. My complaint is the four episodes. I feel ripped off. The making of episode is pretty compelling though, watching everybody writing and stuff, coming up with the material.It's not all great, but man, when it is, like with the Roots and cop bits, it approaches Chappelle's Show territory.

If this was 10 episodes, holy sh*t.… Expand

It's smarter than it appears to be, the sketches are linked with each other. The acting is expected as for a show with audience, you feel like in a theater.

So refreshing to watching a comedy that is NOT sophisticated, clever, sexy, inclusive, politically corret (as the other Netflix show Netflix is pulling) but it's downright FUNNY; w/ Bob&David is a "no nonsense" comedy that goes totally nuts!

When watching the show it become extrememly easy to get turned off in the first few minutes, with what should have been one liners becoming entire skits, that lose there juice around half-way being told

However if you can stick around after those first few minutes what content there is truely looks promising, delieving some effective satire comedy. Which can be seen in a skit involving the whitewashing of roots. Demonstrating how far the show can go while remaining true to the intelligent satire it intends to represent… Expand

Si hay un por menor en la serie es su duración, son 4 episodios y un "detrás de cámaras". El humor es muy extravagante, es una fusión entre lo clásico y lo extremo de la ola actual, no tienen problema en atravesar los límites.
