Legion this style of comedy fits right in with today, the office is honestly more popular than it was when it was on TV and they are similar style shows.
Garcia's actor is really smart and funny at the same time. He's also the voice of Mr. Crocker, Rocko, even the voice double for Billy Crystal in Monsters, Inc.
The fact that this is 100% improv (there was never a single script or joke written for Reno 911) is what makes this a work of pure genius. Just brilliant comedians playing off each other with props.
I mean, they needed scripts for outlines so they could have some sort of plot to follow. Episodes still need structure, no matter how chaotic it seems. Most of the dialogue is improv but definitely not 100% the whole show.
@@PyroNinja713 You are incorrect. Here’s proof. If you have seen interviews (or the stand-up) of any of the cast members, especially the 3 people who created it AKA Thomas Lennon, Robert Ben Garant, and Kerry Kinney-Silver you would know you’re wrong. In fact, Nick Swardson who plays “Terry” talks about it as why Tom Lennon was sure they’d get cancelled because the show was totally improvised without any dialogue ever being written. This is a fact: There was never a single line of dialogue written for the show. Tom Lennon often said, “We’d rent a Taco Stand or a prop that flips cars or just say a topic like “the lotto” or “Junior’s moustache” then ACTION and see what we came up with. “ They’d get some props and then act around them. In fact all 4 people I mentioned are from famous New York Improv groups and even went to NYU together which is how they met. Nick Swardson, in one of my favorite stand up bits and also when teaching improv, talks about Tom Lennon calling him and asking him to “create a perp character” for a satirical cop show they just landed on Comedy Central and to make the character as crazy as he wanted because, as Tom said to Nick: “The show is entirely improv-it’s definitely gonna get cancelled immediately. Go nuts.” So Nick says to the audience: “Well, 7 seasons and a movie later…(crowd cheers)..“ He goes on to mention that they never had a dialogue script for any show and to explain how he created his character “Terry”. Seriously, this fact is in like every cast interview and in their individual stand-up. The only thing they’d write down was an outline to hand to producers & props, etc, so they’d have what they needed (mostly for the movie, not often for the show). The most written was for the movie because it had to tell a story but the dialogue was still 100% unscripted and improvised. Co-Creator Kerry Kinney Silver said that even so, the most they’d write for an outline even in the movie is, ‘Find alligator in pool. Neighbor present. Neighbor is played by ---,’ so they could tell the wardrobe department to contact said guest actor playing the neighbor to ask what he wanted his character to wear and what size he needed. For the show they would create their own bizarre outfits and even guest/occasional character actors would create their own costumes along with their whole character backstory. Wendy McClendon Covey who plays Johnson has been teaching improv for years after doing the show talks about it to her students about how she truly learned improv by doing 4 seasons of a show with no script. There are plenty of clips online. In fact here is a recent interview with Nick Swardson, confirming and repeating everything I just said: ruclips.net/video/dvDHDvs10ug/видео.html . Try around the 1:50 mark.
This is absolutely one of the best shows to ever exist. Such a shame it’s no longer around. Travis jr is my spirit animal. “Man I just had the craziest dream”. “You know you’re drivin right?”
I used to know a county deputy who looked *EXACTLY* like Travis, haircut, 'stache, stance, and *even had the accent.* It was honestly so hard to take him seriously, and all because of this show.
Son of Bukowski there’s no such thing as death, death is an illusion. You, the soul, the energy can never die only be converted from one form of existence to the other. Don’t fear that which does not exist. Conquer your fears and enjoy this life to the full. You, I, we create our reality based upon our beliefs, be careful what you believe in, if you believe in darkness you will be filled with it. Be happy and enjoy it or be sad and create your fearful world. It’s your choice. 🖖🏻
IfYouDisagreeYouAreWrong For the majority of the scenes they had a basic premise and would build off that. It’d be fair to say that most of it is improvised
@IfYouDisagreeYouAreWrong I love how ironic it is that your username is, "If you disagree, you are wrong," yet here you are politely admitting to being incorrect, and even thanking the person who corrected you. It's such wholesome irony 😋
I actually think it's really obvious how much of the show is improvised. And that doesn't have to be a negative thing, it's just noticeable in how they banter back and forth that much of it is off the cuff and then edited together.
@@chadfleming9589 oh that is amazing!! Thank you! I had no idea, but I cant wait! I hope they dont make a bunch of changes that causes it to not be as funny! In todays climate, they will have SO much material to work with!! I really hope they have to deal with protesters!!
@Respect/Walk beer here, beer there, shot of vodka, pack of smokes, little pile of lead paint chips, couple cups of coffee, xanax to smooth you out. Nahh nahh, everything in moderation while pregnant 🙄 if you can't stop smoking, drinking, and taking any unnecessary pills during pregnancy I'm really not sure you should be having kids in the first place. It's a mere 9 month investment compared to the lifetime investment of your child's current and future health. But yeah, by all means have a few to drink while pregnant. Just planting more useless people to suck up resources and mill around in a shitty unfulfilled existence.

García's inability to hit a target with a gun, from close range, was one of the BEST running jokes in this series.

Lol he was probably trying to hit Jones in the first scene of the pilot then
