The Whitest Kids U'Know, an independent sketch comedy troupe. I'm sure some of you have heard of them, and I think I've seen some of their videos posted around here somewhere.

A friend of mine has been really into them for a while now, but I have mixed feelings. I usually think the sketches are clever, or well done, but there always seems to be something missing. Even if I think they do something really brilliant, I still usually don't lol. Isn't that weird?

Maybe it's because I've only watched their stuff online, and never actually seen their show. I don't get IFC.

Anyway, here's their youtube profile, and here's their wiki page.

Here's two of the shorter sketches:


What do you guys think?

I've found it really hit or miss.  I find most of their stuff entirely hilarious (especially the Classroom Skit and Where Do Babies Come From), but every now and then there will be a skit that's just terrible and I'm just waiting for it to be over.

But generally I find them very funny.

I enjoy The Whitest Kids U' Know. They have some really funny skits, and then they have some absolutely... Awful, awful, unfunny skits. It's actually pretty balanced. Good skit, Terribly unfunny skit, Great Skit, Terribly unfunny skit.

I don't really find them funny at all.  I've only watched three or four episodes, but I don't think I laughed once during any of them.

This, haha this exactly. Some of their skits take a few watches to appreciate. Some are just dumb... especially these ones:


Of course, then there's all their good ones like:
Slow Jerk
Race War
Classroom Skit
Cubicle Boss
Space Potatoes
You SOB (gets dumb at the end)
Nail Gun
Peeping Tom
Drama Class
Raddest Kid Ever
Fairy of Womanhood

Either I really don't get these jokes, or I do and they are unbelievably unfunny. Like so unfunny I would rather gauge my eyes out with a paperclip than watch an episode of.

Personally I think it's the later.

like... things that are actually funny, as in inducing some kind of laugh, snigger or mirth related reaction. Not the kind of things you'd expect from some half-assed rpgmaker rtp "comedy" game.
Do you seriously want a list or something?
