Amazon.com Their enemy is the status quo. Their only friend is chaos. They're the four sketch comedians of the Upright Citizens Brigade. In their second season on Comedy Central, Colby (Amy Poehler), Antoine (Ian Roberts), Trotter (Matt Walsh), and Adair (Matt Besser) aim their comedic throwing stars at all manner of pseudo-realistic targets, like suburban baby fighting and that sweet, powdery addiction known as Super Cool. (Sometimes they hit, sometimes they miss.) Viewers craving subtlety and nuance may want to look elsewhere. The acting ranges from broad to broader, but the situations are consistently inventive--if not brain-twistingly bizarre. Standout installments include "Infested with Friars," a spoof of Eisenhower-era humor, and "Mogomra vs. the Fart Monster," a goof on Japanese pop culture, from noise rock to creature features (Mogomra is a giant lobster). Every episode also incorporates hidden camera encounters with the real world. "Didn't I once sell you crack?" for instance, doesn't garner any takers when directed at a gaggle of lawyers. Among the guest stars are the Wu-Tang Clan's RZA ("Bomb Squad") and Poehler's former SNL cast mates Tina Fey ("Mogomra") and Horatio Sanz ("Spaghetti Jesus," an episode bursting with excretory functions). Further, Upright Citizens Brigade served as a training ground for future movie directors, like Bring It On's Peyton Reed and Junebug's Phil Morrison. The plentiful extras on this two-disc set include deleted scenes, early stage routines, an audience Q&A, and uncensored commentary on all 10 episodes (the commentary for "Spaghetti Jesus" and "Super Cool" was recorded live at the UCB Theater). Despite the parental advisory regarding "explicit content," most episode profanity has been bleeped, though the material still easily qualifies as "adult" (sexual situations, drug references, etc.). -- Kathleen C. Fennessy

great sketch comedy! April 13, 2009 phyir ucb has got to be the funniest sketch comedy i've ever seen and this second season is even better than the first. a definite buy if you're a ucb fan or if you're just looking for a new video to make you laugh - but you have to like random comedy! these guys are truly talented!
Super Cool show, April 4, 2009 Bob (Divided States) Upright Citizens Brigade is just one of those shows that never got as popular as it should have been and could have been. It deserved release on dvd --which took forever. Years. I don't even know how many. Several. This season 2 collection is good, but season 3 is better. But where is it? Can somebody please tell me why it takes years to release this show on dvd????? Will season 3 ever come out?
great March 20, 2009 Alex (U.S.A.) I love this show, In my opinion it never really got the attention it deserved. The show is absolutely hilarious as is everything else they do.
can't wait for season 3 March 18, 2009 Roderick J. Hawkins i waited too long for season 2...i hope season 3 will be out more quickly. this show is one of the funniest shows i have ever enjoyed
Another fine season of comedy sketches May 27, 2008 Craig Balson (California) Much like the first season, well, exactly like the first season, but with all new sketches, the Upright Citizens Brigade comes with in your face comedy. Sketches to gross you out and offend you at the same time. Sketches to make you laugh and some to make you think. They even carry some characters over from the first season. You will not be disappointed.
