Product Description

Sketch comedy show revolves around the Upright Citizens Brigade, an underground organization "with no government ties and unlimited resources" dedicated to creating and monitoring chaos from their secure underground base. The show’s sketches depict chaotic or bizarre events in the world, events which are often directly engineered by the UCB. Another defining feature of the show is a series of real-world pranks, which tied in with the show's theme. Usually run at the end of each episode, these hidden-camera pranks feature the cast (as either the central UCB characters or other characters from that day's episode) interacting with real strangers.

Customer Reviews

Don't pass this up
This is the best sketch comedy ever. The UCB is a group of improv people who got a break on Comedy Central. Their skits are the funniest around. My last review was not published because I named my favorite skits, guess I won't do that now, but that should give you an idea of where the UCB take their sketches. You will laugh over and over as you watch this. Like the title says, do not pass this up.

Classic underrated show, sub par dvd release
The 2003 dvd release has a listed runtime of 292 minutes while this new 2007 edition has only 220 mins. One wonders what got cut. The '03 original contained several commentaries CC apparently took issue with, as well as the original pilot and deleted scenes. It was fairly stacked with features. Looks like this newer version takes away over an hour of them. Too bad. It's a great show, some of the best sketch comedy ever, just try to find the 2003 version if you can.

greatest comedy ever created
UCB is the greatest thing ever brought to the world of comedy. This first season is fantastic and it just gets better. anyone who has not seen this should definately check it out. I have been watching it since i recorded it on vhs in the late 90's and it never gets old. I was so happy when I found they made the first 2 seasons on dvd. I hope to everything that is still holy in this world that they produce the final season on dvd, and soon. I am tired of watching it on .avi files and vhs tapes, it just isn't the same. BUY THIS AND BUY THE SECOND SEASON. You won't regret it...
