    Here we have another of those twisted, hit-and-miss, 10 o'clock-hour romps from Comedy Central that travel boldly and unapologetically over the top.

    Most of the time it doesn’t trust its own premise; the mechanics at this body shop rarely do any real work, instead spending too much time on toilet humor and immigrant jokes.

    I've laughed more at my own ex-mechanic, who rode a bicycle to his shop because he racked up too many DUIs.

    So while you might chuckle guiltily at the sight of a Peruvian worker (Frank Merino) being strapped underneath a car to conduct an "undercarriage road test," after that, there are precious few laughs to interrupt the ride.

    There's nothing clever or original in American Body Shop, a disappointing waste of time and squandering of Comedy Central's resources.
