Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

I've come to the somewhat uncomfortable conclusion that I've laughed harder and more often at the best of this than maybe any other series of the tens. The highlights (Foxx, Gervais, Broderick [!], to name a few) might be the greatest "unscripted" examples I've ever seen of the one thing that Kenney movie captured well: the giddy intimacy of funny people trying to make each other laugh. And Mean Jerry is deployed beautifully. Like when Colbert recites an entire quatrain of Jeff Mangum lyrics.

Are you bored Jerry? Why don't you take your beautiful cars and just fuck off?

I grew up enjoying talk shows until I was old enough to realize how much they were basically scripted. Whether this is truly riffing or not, it certainly feels like it, so it's a nice way to feel like you're getting to know these comedians. Definitely has ups and downs, but the good episodes are a lot of fun.

Love the concept and it's simplicity, however it's not the easiest thing to rate accurate since each episode relies on the guest. I love all the episodes with the comedians I love (Louis CK, Norm MacDonald, Chris Rock, Larry David, Bill Burr, ...) but the rest is alright and "watchable"

Most episodes are not great the farther on it goes. For its time though, for the first few seasons, it was fun.

Comedians? Cars? Coffee? What's not to love?

Nice quick light peeks into famous funny people. It's not earth-shattering, but it's charming and kind of nice to see non-scripted funny people just bullshitting.

The idea of simplicity and honesty didn't come through intact.
