Alright TBS. You crammed this ad down my throat so many times when I was just minding my own business that you finally pissed me off enough to make me purposefully find every single trailer and downvote them all. Piss off.
Is this suppose to be like Pat (that old SNL sketch I think)?
Producers and executives must be so out of touch to actually present this as a comedy. There was not a single thing in this trailer that I would consider funny. I'm only here because YouTube shoved this ad into a video that was actually interesting, and I couldn't believe this was an actual comedy.
Are they for real with this? This is an old woman playing a teen and not funny but trying to be what?
that salma hayek comparison was stupid 1.she doesn't have olive skin 2.she is part (a small part)lebanese not Persian which makes this very random.
this is lazy writing and joke telling
Painfully unfunny
Stop making shows glorifying the loser
So we all realize that's a middle age women trying to pass herself off as a teenage boy right? Ok, good.
Hollywood keeps pushing grown adults interacting with teens. It's creepy and disgusting! Leave the young people alone!
Cancel this show?. Please i beg no one wants to see unfunny female act like a boy
Not only is this not funny, it's not original.
If you'd like to see a grown ass woman play a pubescent boy and be hilarious, look for Lauren Lapkus' character Todd.
If you just make Todd not funny and sfw you get Chad. I mean jesus christ they barely even changed the name.
Why is this old lady playing a teenage boy?
This is the most un-chad thing possible
Who did this? Who casted and decided to produce this? And of course I found out who, since this was diabolical. The old looking female boy is Nasim Pedrad, lead actor/actress, who created this. Sorry, this was very awkward to even watch.
So they have a grown woman playing a teenage boy?? Really? Hollywood is the devils propaganda team
Down voting this was very satisfying
Why are people so uncomfortable with this but Chris Lilly playing Ja’mie in Summer Heights High is apparently hilarious? Same for the actors in their 40s and 50s playing teenagers in Wet Hot American Summer? Part of the joke is that it’s a 40 year old woman playing a teenage boy…
lets use a 40y/o woman to play a 14y/o boy because a young male actor is too tabo..
I thought it was a show about a kid transitioning. Didn't know until reading the comments below that this kid is played by an actress old enough to be his mother. Totally BIZARRE. And as most below have said, an INCREDIBLY STUPID IDEA, let alone one that got greenlit.
This makes me violently uncomfortable….
Who tf thought this was a good script and actor
the way this trailer has some of y'all so worked up…..it very well could be bad, but have you any idea the number of bad shows and movies that come out each year? but because its a middle aged woman playing a teenage boy it is like this COLOSSAL fuck up. She is a great comedic actress and they were trying something different. you don't have to watch
W T H is this???
Nobody: TBS: There aren't enough grown women playing teenage boys in TV shows.
So the season 1 is already out??
5 words:
Back. To. The. Drawing. Board.
A lesbian pretending to be a boy. Like Biden pretending to be a president. Stupid fail!
Terrible acting jeesh??
Was cringe to watch won't give it a chance "Boringggggg" looks very stupid?
This comment section is hilarious. Some people are upset that she looks like a woman, some people are upset that she doesn’t. She probably wrote the script with herself in mind, just like when she’s on SNL. You don’t have to like it guys. It’s not wrong, it’s just weird
Looks like garbage
I think she should have just gotten a boy to play Chad. It's not like Pen15 where the actress plays a younger version of herself and looks young enough to pull it off. Chad is clearly a woman made up to look as much like a boy as possible and it's distracting. The makeup is reminiscent of Eddie Murphy, no, Dave Chappelle as a white man. Eddie was more convincing while Dave looked so absurd it added to the comedy of the sketch. This isn't trying to do that so it just looks bad. Wait! It looks more like Busta Rhymes in the Dangerous video made up to look like Mel Gibson. Very scary.
So it's not a comedy then?
I have a trans son, so I'm comfortable with the complexities of gender. However, based on the trailer… I don't get it. I just don't get it.
Wait….did we run out of males between the age of 19-30 in Hollywood….I get it but it would have taken the same amount of time to train a male actor to the specific characteristics she would have done,it's just a terrible concept??
This is terrible.. why not hire an actor to play the part, what’s with the costume, like really! Looks weird as hell and not like a kid at all. I won’t be watching this crap.
If the show is as stupid and obnoxious as the commercial it won't last a season. ??
im so sorry nasim you'll get through this <3
Like you can't tell this is a girl!!! filthy disgusting Hollywood is making it impossible to watch anything that comes out of that cesspool.
Needs more diversity
Stupid, unfunny and completely ridiculous to have a 40 year old woman playing a teenage boy??
What a god awful, stupid and unfunny seeming show…I, along with everyone else with a brain, will not watch stupid ass show.
It's Pat Redux.
B R U H, so everyone in the HS has accepted “Chad” and all the students have a non verbal agreement to never mention she’s a 40 year old chick trying to be a teenage boy. lmao I don’t even know what hollyweirds agenda is for this show, fckn bizarre ?
I am so confused
i mean she is a very funny actress but she doesnt look like a boy or a teenager at all, i mean she is a 40 year old actress.. its just odd..what were they thinking, this was just uncomfortable to watch
Hollyweird.
I thought this was about a trans kid..
