In other words, it's just a typical improv troupe.

Wikipedias list of improv groups has both a "CHiPs Improv" and a "Sick Puppies Comedy." FAWK YEAH DVV DVV

Someone has no characteristics other than total and complete averageness I see.

It's a sensory thing. Watching something spin a bunch of times really appeals to them, which explains the popularity of this

Is it funny, or is it just "inspirational" bullshit?

4  crookedmile 2016-12-29

I wouldn't say it's inspirational by any means, I mean, they're aspies. It's kind of sad because they all live in squalor and look like they stink on the regular. Kind of like that movie Gummo, which is hilarious in it's own right.

Is it as funny as Louis Theroux's documentary?

I just watched that like 20 times in a row, thanks.

3  Clean-Ween 2016-12-29

This one is pretty good too (includes the other clip)

I'd recommend watching the whole documentary if you haven't before.

Ahh retards, natures jesters.

1  dassabessdoe 2016-12-29

Inspirational as in "if these retards can do it, what's your excuse?"

If living in a shithole, bad body odor and piss-poor facial hair inspires you, then brother, THIS IS YOUR MOVIE!

How do you not understand what I'm talking about?

1  crookedmile 2016-12-29

My guess is it's an Opie thing.

No surprise that the Duplass Brothers are involved in an autistic show.

2  WiretapStudios 2016-12-29

No joke, I've seen three movies of theirs and I can't tell if I'm supposed to take it seriously as a movie or if they are just dramatizations of their autistic childhoods. I went to see Safety Not Guaranteed in the theater with my ex, and was so bored I went out into the lobby and messed around on my phone for 20 minutes, and I can usually watch even the worst movies. When someone says that is a great movie, their opinion goes down several notches for me.

Mike on Red Letter Media HATES them." Speaking of squirting creamed corn out of your ass, have you seen Jeff Who Lives At Home?" Great episode.

I think they did Cyrus, which I could be 100% wrong, but I loved that movie.

1  WiretapStudios 2016-12-29

True that, Cyrus was pretty good. I don't hate them, but some of their stuff is better than others for sure.

i look like a combination of all of them at once

Yeah I was hoping it was more "making fun of autistics" than feel good. It kinda sucked.

1  lowend73 2016-12-29

Oh wow, looks terrible
