Love it! If you don't like him, you won't like the show
ebayman1234562 November 2015
Obnoxious? Yes, Rude? Yes This does not make this show bad, it's what makes it good.

-He puts people in very awkward situations and it's amazing seeing how it turns out. Peoples reactions toward Billy can be downright hilarious(negative or positive)

-The questions he asks are completely insane and weird

  • Actor/celebrity look like they have fun and is always fun to watch


-Billy is frenetic and extremely fast paced which I can see turning people away. He makes some viewers I know very anxious. I personally love it.

Personally I think he's hilarious and can have some genius moments. Don't hate on him just yet. Give him some time, some things he says are unreal. If your against gays or don't like New Yorkers don't watch the show :). I love when he pokes fun at gays because it shows how real he is, being gay himself. Fun questions, hilarious reactions, crude moments, game show host berating people, lots of yelling. These are some of the things you'll see on Billy on the street. Greatttt show! 8/10

not for everyone but if you get the joke, it is fun to watch

This show takes a while to first understand and then appreciate. If you are in need of instant gratification, move along and keep your BS comments about this being garbage to yourself. Tru-TV is the land of TV refuse and this show is at least fun and the most real of any of them. I enjoy seeing the antics of Billy Eichner - who is by no means gentle with anyone he meets doing the show (I don't think this is an act-- he seems to actually get PO'd at people and will eviscerate them). The celebrity guest appearances are sort of random but mostly of actors/comedians he's worked with on Parks and Recreation, his recent project "Difficult People" on Hulu, or from SNL, with the occasional celebs who just happen to live in NYC. Best part of those appearances though is that they are clearly NOT SCRIPTED. I find that refreshing as for once we get to see them actually have to think and speak their mind. Best of all are the menagerie of people he interacts with who are just "normal" (tic) average NYC people anyone could run into. Yes-- he can be a little over the top on some of his opinions, reactions, yelling, scaring people as he surprise approaches them. But part of the fun is you never know what little comment is about to set him off.

If that isn't fun for you-- don't watch it and don't sit there demanding that THIS SHOW is somehow the worst thing on TV and needs to be pulled. That is insanity. There are so many other TV shows that are 100% pure hot garbage that ARE SCRIPTED REALITY. Why pick on a show that is for the most part fluid, unique, and interesting?

Very Funny And Creative!

I love this show so much! Billy's jokes are so funny and his dramatic, unapologetic character adds more to the comedy! I recommend this show to people who are interested in pop culture and / or exaggerated acts in public with other people. I love Billy Eichner so much!!

One of the funniest shows ever made
doxxman54 August 2018
Billy on the Street is such a great show, it makes me laugh HARDER than any other show i have ever seen. Billy's personality is great, he respects his smart guests and makes fun of his ignorant ones (albeit in ways they are comfortable with). His goal is to be funny but also to raise the intelligence of the viewer and educate people about good vs bad pop culture. If you are up on good tv shows, movies, music, celebs that actually matter, you will love this show. Also, he runs up on people and quizzes them in the face! I would of anything to be on this show

Yes this is what people find funny.

If you're not a fan of physical comedy and a quick wit don't tune in. He is an amazing comedian and I never stop laughing! HILARIOUS! Loved Billie on Parks and Rec and was so happy to find this Funny or Die production with him!!

Hilarious
freidap19 January 2020
I discovered this show after I heard Billy on Conan O'Brien's podcast and absolutely love it. Some reviewers might be offended by Billy's outlandish style, but the New Yorkers interviewed on the show truly don't care. Watch at least a few episodes and Billy's eager attitude will grow on you.

If you don't have a decent knowledge of pop culture it will be hard to get this show. If you do, you might love it.

Incredibly Obnoxious
webmaster-817-78668124 October 2015
So this is what people find entertaining now...

An obnoxious, rude, loud mouth fool? One of the worst shows on Television.

It must be an age thing because I just don't get it or find this joker funny in any way, shape or form.

Disrespecting people, cussing them out, displaying deplorable behavior is NOT good TV or entertainment.

I guess the days of good comical writing is over, since this dribble is rampant on many channels today.

Get this crap off the air and go back to real comedy.

Billy on the Street
dougbrown-8585812 November 2015
This show sucks! It needs to come off the air. It's pointless comedy that shouldn't even be called comedy. The Impractical Jokers and The Carbanaro Effect should have all of the air time on Tru TV. This show shouldn't have been approved to be on this channel. It is not funny like the other shows. What is even the point of the show, it is supposed to be funny which its not and he is just spending an hour insulting people and being obnoxious. I would actually like to know what kind of person thinks this is good humor. Take it down its annoying!! I would really appreciate this being taken seriously because I enjoy watching Tru TV and this show is ruining it!

Not funny
patrickjduffy-683291 October 2019
All This guy is a talentless, angry, irrational homosexual that takes advantage of camera hungry bystanders walking on the city streets.

And don't even go there about me hating on him because he's gay; he's simply failing with the delivering of impromptu irreverent comedy. " Funny or die " does good sketch comedy, but this has been garbage. You wasted my time with this.

Best Reality TV show in recent memory
regandlmz19 November 2019
I can promise you these are real NYC reactions. Annoying/obnoxious? Yes, BUT this is real and it has me cracking up beyond belief. Like an animal documentary it is beautiful.
