    2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
    Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
    Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
    Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
    caldavis80 Nick Kroll's production company is named "Good at Bizness." and judging from his relentless viral campaigns, he might be good at business. But, judging by his self named show, he is not good at comedy. He is terrible at sketch, in particular. He is not talented with character work, and it seems that he thinks that his lame private jokes will translate to laughs. Time after time, he is wrong. He has only taken on easy targets and that is not good satire. Making fun of reality TV? How stale can you get? His characterizations of "toilet baby" C-Zar is unfortunate. Nick Kroll seems to loathe white trash as he lives in Palaces. It's tacky.I have heard his stand up is terrible but I only saw one clip on youtube(AWFUL)so it's possible he has better material.The fact that is father is one of the most powerful billionaires in modern history, is irrelevant to this review, but it is interesting how that is factoring into the incessant and annoying promotion that accompanies his every youtube. His ability to snag top stars hasn't worked to improve his ratings at all. And, his repeated lies- " Katy Perry Tweeted me and said she wanted to be on the show," can come back to bite him.His funding of Earwolf Podcast network and his propping up Peter Holmes(TBS) is fascinating to watch.Nick Kroll: Good at business but terrible at comedy. He should take a step back and realize that you can't buy the funny, and that's OK. It's not as if he can't drown his tears with billions of dollars.
    jimel98 Of course not everything fires as funny as we'd like, nothing does, but in all honesty, it's still one of the best shows out there right now. Nick Kroll's take on reality TV is so good, I will NEVER watch reality TV as long as I can help it. I've seen an episode of that stuff here and there and rely heavily on 'The Soup' to know what's going on in the world of Garbage TV to ever need to sit through it for real. Kroll Show has nailed the insipid trash that many seem to flock to and made it funny.OK, I know much of the real reality TV is funny in it's attempt to be good, but I can't sit through it. Nick Kroll and his insane little ensemble skewer it as well as some of the other 'stuff' on TV and does it masterfully yet not 'in your face'. They don't try too hard and that's one of the reasons it's so damn funny. Some comedy tries to be funny to the point that it just becomes stupid. Nick doesn't. It's low key but very believable. I rarely give anyone a 10 because I can always find some flaw but in an effort to balance a few of the negative reviews, I'm going all out. This show deserves it.
    abbeyshumerdonner It's as if someone is giving this talent free kid a show, and he gets to play pretend. But, no one is laughing but him and his frat boy buddies. But these are the most insufferable rich fratboys that are also rich as hell and think it's so funny how stupid the poor are. The liz character is the only one of any value and when he takes on less obvious targets you can stand him. On the one stand up show I saw him in, he was creepy and full of woman hate. So, I can't urge him to just stick to that. I would urge him to return to Georgetown and learn ethics or something. This show sucks and the fact that it was renewed is a very sad statement about society. Sadder than most can guess if they don't know that Nick Kroll's father is the only reason this sod got a show in the first place.
    thecinnamonkid85 My expectations for "Kroll Show" was not too high to begin with, as Comedy Central tries many sketch comedy shows that simply just don't make it. The great sketch comedy shows always leave you coming away from the show with that awesome sketch you talk about for a week until you see the next. Chappelle's Show, Key and Peele, and Who's Line is it Anyway, are perfect examples of classic sketch comedies. Kroll Show does not have the lasting factor these shows did, as a couple cheap laughs from the same guy and mostly unknown supporting characters does not make the show watchable on a weekly basis. While the show has it's moments of laughs, most of the time it fails to leave a lasting impression on it's viewers. A majority of the viewers will simply be watching due to the fact it is on after Workaholics, but take away that time slot and this show will have ratings more realistic to the show's quality. 4/10
