Its supposed to be a comedy, but I did not laugh once. I will admit I was more entertained and interested in Vice Principals than most other comedies. Nothing that happens is especially funny. Its a little shocking at first to see two grown men behaving like angry toddlers. But that novelty wears off quickly, then you are left with a series that's awfully shallow. Two guys don't like a woman taking the job they wanted. So they act like monsters.
In a way its kind of a bad idea for a TV series but in a way its also really good. Especially on a network that lets them swear and really insult each other. There's not a whole lot of character development here. If an actor is allowed to express themselves at all they come across as very one-dimensional. Danny McBrides character has a little more depth to him, but not much. Mostly its a show about two angry immature grown men just being unpleasant. Some people find that humorous. Some will laugh like crazy. It doesn't amuse me. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I've met way too many real people like that on the job. They aren't funny. They are annoying and occasionally scary.
