The humor is tasteless and irresistible, an unlikely mix of juvenile jokes about sex and bodily functions, with time-honored elements of screwball comedy.

The League comes close to the goal of creating a TV show with "The Hangover"-type appeal.

As in "Sunny," they are almost-lovable losers, and that's a formula FX is now perfecting.

While there's no doubt that The League's third season is off to an entertaining start, the show's main problem remains that it's a comedy about friendship that lacks sympathetic and emotionally identifiable characters.
By Mike Lechevallier FULL REVIEW

The raunchy comedy on The League had me laughing out loud a few times, but mostly I felt as though I’d seen it all done better before.

Cable's FX, which has reliably churned out good watching for most of this decade, drives off a cliff tonight with an offensive and shockingly unfunny sitcom, The League.
By Jonathan Storm FULL REVIEW

If I tell you that The League is a reprehensible show, I’m not really telling you that much. The new improvised-comedy series airing at 9:30 tonight on FX wears its reprehensibility with pride.
