Man did my heart sink when I realized that this special was filmed at the Neptune Theatre. The Neptune had been a movie theatre for 90 years. I spent ten years working at the crummiest multiplex in Seattle waiting to get promoted to a job managing there. I finally did in the summer of 2010. I was there for six months before its lease was stolen away by local political chicanery so it could be turned into a concert venue. I can't even look at the place any more.

But Garfunkel and Oates are quite funny, their delivery is impeccable and this special is delightful.

Kate Micucci could ask me for one of my vital organs and I'd gladly give it to her.

i'm gonna sue because the fadeaway song is about me

"THERE IS NOBODY LEEEEEEFT
I'M ALL ALONEEEEE" killed me everytime

I love Garfunkel and Oates, but I kinda wish this special would've had some new material. If you haven't heard about them, I'd probably bump this up half a star, but as a long-time fan I was kinda disappointed.

Still good though.

Settles, with finality, the age-old question: can twee be horny?

Could've done without the rap number (one and a half times!) but I love these guys.

First time watching it: HAHAHA FUCK YEAH!!!
Second time watching it: Aaah ehhhh hmmm...

They do a good job of flipping the expectations, which, I guess, is comedy 101: set up an idea and then undercut it for the laugh. Almost every song does it, and any serious song is so charming that the audience goes along with it. There's nothing really all that deep to the special, but the more I watch comedy specials the more I realize that depth is a rather rare element and sometimes a few laughs is enough. I don't know that I really liked it all that much, but there were a few moments of goofy humor (especially the part about the computer) and the songs entertained. I guess for a fundraising comedy special that's all I should expect.

adorably awkward, but hilarious nonetheless.

When Riki did nothing but scream for ten seconds...I felt that

Hilarious, fun, and cute. In other words exactly what you expect from these two.

when they realize they had the wrong song track and Kate had to run off-stage and get her computer to give to the sound guy is me as a musician

Their songs are fun, they're fun, the special was fun. Not something to write home about, but fun.

trying but not necessarily succeeding.

literally just their already established songs but live and not quite as good, with not much else inbetween to make it worthwhile.
