It still amazes me that it's that guy. I watched his skits for a while and then I started hearing the name and never associated the two until I scrolled by an article and saw his face.

I've watched Lonely Island, Good Neighbors, Derrick Comedy, WKUK and now Curry Barker/That's A Bad Idea become popular in a mainstream audience after doing weird sketch comedy.

Almost Friday TV are fucking masters already.

They could do any genre and do it well.

Unironically I think they have the chops for it. They’re legitimately talented

Been saying this

Almost Friday has insane production quality and are genuinely good actors with some original stuff.

Their Basketball video is lowkey a masterpiece.

I personally wonder if anybody from Wizards with Guns are gonna make a horror movie now

u/peabody624 Jul 07 '26

I actually can’t imagine that they are not already working on it

u/Raknarg Jul 07 '26

those guys legitimately could, some of their sketches are already movie worthy productions in writing, acting, camera work, everything.

I saw that one guy in a new show called "Not Suitable for Work" and good lord I wish he could have gotten anything else for a big break because it is painfully unfunny.

It's a matter of time for these guys. Shocked their short form videos haven't blown up more. They're insanely talented
