The Official "Angry Boys" thread. Premiers January 1st on HBO

[creekshow]

I saw it mentioned in a thread, but I couldn't find a thread on it so here it is.  Angry Boys is set for HBO, Sunday Nights at 10 starting on January 1st 2012. Here is the plot

Angry Boys is an Australian television mockumentary series written by and starring Chris Lilley. Continuing the mockumentary style of his previous series, the show explores the issues faced by young males in the 21st century – their influences, their pressures, their dreams and ambitions. In Angry Boys, Lilley plays multiple characters: S.mouse, an American rapper; Jen, a manipulative Japanese mother; Blake Oakfield, a champion surfer; Ruth "Gran" Sims, a guard at a juvenile detention facility; and her grandchildren, South Australian twins Daniel and Nathan Sims.
The series was created and written by Chris Lilley who also created "Summer Heights High" which was also on HBO but only had 6 episodes I think. I normally don't get into the whole one actor play multiple characters kinda shows/movies, but it is done really well. Almost to the point where you dont even look at them as the same person after watching an episode or two.

The show IMO is hilarious, and it will probably catch on very quickly, seeing to how they have kinda kept it under wraps so far. The first season has already aired over in Australia so those of you good with your computers can most likely find the whole first season. I highly suggest everyone check it out, bc youll be missing out if you dont. Im only 4 episodes in and they have all been great so far. Here is the trailer, Enjoy

Yeah it will probably rub some people the wrong way, but at the end of the day, you gotta take it for what its worth. Its for the show, im sure the dude isnt racist or anything

[donpoppa]

ive been waiting for this show. summer heights high was good so i know this will be.

 

[je ne sais quoi]

I watch it week to week on HBO, really good.
Totally, honestly, and pleasantly surprised.
I came in thinking it was going to be a sketch show or something, but dude plays his characters straight.
I don't even notice him, each character is it's own personality.

Not happy about it. Been fairly entertained by the couple of episodes I've seen. Maybe it's just the episodes I've seen but everything that was actually funny seemed like just an OK reenactment of Ali-G.

It looks pretty funny, I just added it to my to-watch list.

I watched the whole season already, its entertaining but not as funny as Summer Height High.
