Bagboy asks a lot of you. One, it assumes you know who Dr. Steve Brule is (he's a John C. Reilly character from the Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job universe who also has his own spin-off show, Check it Out!). Two, it asks you to believe that Brule's idiot-doctor character (who is in no way qualified to be a doctor) has somehow written, directed and starred in a sitcom pilot set in a grocery store. Three, it demands that you accept that Brule has somehow pulled this off while being the least professional actor (remember, an actor playing an actor) on set, constantly blowing his lines, getting into legitimate accidents, and blurting out directions to other actors mid-scene.
It's a big ask, but it's okay: Bagboy is a comedic gem for those in a Tim and Eric mindset. The pacing is tight, the jokes are constant, the premise is absurd, and the cast is a delightfully weird mix of a couple of "legitimate" actors and a whole host of the non-actors that powered Awesome Show Great Job, like David Liebe Hart and his terrible, terrible puppets.
If you like absurdist comedy and have 22 minutes to spare, you could do a lot worse than Bagboy.
