Chicago TribuneAllison Benedikt
It's a rip-off of an earlier (and better) road trip series, Comedy Central's "The Comedians of Comedy," but worthwhile nonetheless.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-TimesDoug Elfman
The show's weakness is that not a lot of interesting or funny stuff happens on the bus or in their touring cities.
Read Full Review >Entertainment WeeklyTim Stack
The whole thing feels like a[n] unfortunate twist on Comic Relief--charity for the comedians. [9 Jun 2006, p.133]
Los Angeles TimesPaul Brownfield
It's "Entourage" on the cheap, without the fun stuff.
Read Full Review >Washington PostTom Shales
If the prospect of accompanying comedians on a comedy bus does have a certain allure, don't get too excited.
Read Full Review >Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
Too much like a dull season of MTV's "Road Rules," without the women.
Slant MagazinePaul Schrodt
May be the most pointless series HBO has ever produced.
Read Full Review >VarietyBrian Lowry
A half-hour vanity project that proves HBO can not only be TV, but bad TV at that.
Read Full Review >Hollywood ReporterRay Richmond
[It] panders in a fashion that's akin to a neon sign flashing, "Yoo hoo! Young demographics! Over here!"

Dane Cook is in insult to comedians worldwide. His only skill is whoring himself to a huge myspace fanbase of middle school girls who don't know the first thing about comedy, or anything else.
Aaron Y gave it a0:
An abomination against comedy, truly awful.

Sad Sad Sad
Rex F gave it a0:
Dane Cook and the word "comedian" should never be used together.
Pete G gave it a0:
What exec's couch and how many gross sexual favors has Dane Cook had to do to keep his 'career' goiong? He is an absolute disgrace to real comedians anywhere.
Brian D gave it a0:
Simply put: A train wreck. Avoid this wasted opportunity at all costs.
Joe j gave it a1:
Dane Cook . . . funny? Not!!! What a bunch of manufactured bullshit.
