I wanted to like this, and the best sketches in it are really funny and you can watch them over and over again.
But ... unfortunately the humour is mostly very very low-brow and downright toiletary. The best example is the joke they ended the first season on: It's about a "Butthead" family which has buttcheeks on top of their heads. Hilarity ensues... This embarrassingly unimaginative setup is followed by every single butt joke that you can think of yourself.
Poor Tommy Davidson is a funny guy, but his commentary on that last Season 1 episode on the DVD set is a bit on the rosy-coloured glasses side. He calls that Butthead joke setup "risqué" - well, "infantile" would be another word that comes to mind.
I'm not really impressed when you only "push the censors" by using foul language. Politically and socially this show was pretty tame.
Often there is no real joke but just an over-use of one-liners pushed down your throat like "Homey don't play that" etc.
Well, again, there is good stuff in there and there is a huge advantage compared to "Saturday Night Live": the sketches are shorter and to the point.
