Yes, I'm a HUGE Mel Brooks fan!
Yes, some of the skits land a little flat (The Shirley skit doesn't fit..)
BUT, this show is very entertaining! Everyone needs to come off their high horse, and enjoy some low brow, slapstick, raunchy comedy!
Nick Kroll does a lot of heavy lifting in this show, and he does a fantastic job! Lots of calls back to shows/movies, these skits are over the top, AND THAT'S THE POINT. I know comedy has taken a hit the past 5 years, but it's time people relax, take a look ourselves, and laugh!
Really enjoyed the Jesus Christ skits, perfect simile of the Curb your Enthusiasm. I'm enjoying the Civil war skit. The Russian Revolution was pretty funny. I think you need to do two things. One, remember this is Mel Brooks, his comedy is always in your face, so let it be and enjoy it. And two, you got to know your references and pop culture, or some callbacks/jokes won't land. That's the name of the game.
Is it as good as part I, no, but I'm enjoying the insanity of it all, and so should you!
