I just discovered The Andy Milonakis Show, and I don't think my life will ever be the same. Andy's an overweight New York guy in his late 20s (but looks 14) who essentially alternates Tom Green-style public theater with various antics based in and around his apartment. He also raps, most hilariously in the low-rent animation-enhanced opening credits. On the show today, he put on a beard and a black bathrobe, went down to the street and announced to passersby (in dubbed kung-fu flick monotone): "I am Karate Abraham Lincoln. I have four stomachs like a cow." Then, with a bag of potato chips in hand, he asked an old man if he "would like to brush the crumbs out of Karate Lincoln's beard?" The old man said, "No, but I will anyway." Then when he reached for Karate Lincoln's chips. he got blocked. Andy also ordered a pizza, and when the pizza man came, he burst into tears. "Andy Milonakis died a year ago," Andy wailed. "In a pizza accident." He then pulled out money, paid for the pizza, gave the delivery man the address of "Brooklyn Funeral", and asked him to deliver it there. "Give Andy his pizza!" Andy blubbered. The show is absurd and stoney and hilarious, and it's probably the best gift producer Jimmy Kimmel has ever bestowed on popular culture.
Andy Milonakis is on MTV every weeknight at 11pm (I think). Also, just like me, you and everyone we know (and, also, Me and You and Everyone We Know), Andy's got a blog, but it's almost unreadably wacky. You should just watch the show.

Andy is 29 years old? Check imdb.com if you don't believe me. Dude isn't even that funny.

Wow, you're right. But that actually makes him funnier, because he looks like he's 14.

Let's hope that this post is sarcasm. Andy is a cancer to comedy.

I was blown away to find out that he's actually older than me, let alone by dozen years. Jesus.
I don't find him funny at all. He does have a place in pop culture as the 'Superbowl is Gay' kid but that was from the Internet and should remain on the Internet. He's just another example of how desperate networks are for new shows.
I mean, I'm laugh at stoner-humor and adore non sequitur stuff but Milonakis is pushing it. His stuff is so stupid that it completely skips funny and goes right back to stupid.

I'm sorry but that show is dumb, I'm 18 and I think its dumb. MY brother, 15 thinks it dumb, as do my sisters, 12 and 20. My parents, around 40 think it's dumb.
I fail to see how anyone who has passed Junior High could consider this funny.
Sorry, but its the truth.

Good, i'm glad you guys agree with me. When I first read this post, I thought there was no way someone intelligent could find that show funny. It is simply stupid.

how is the fact that he's 29 and not 14 make him funnier? if a non-disased 29 year old started acting liek they were 14, people would be in an outrage. that's got "child molester" written all over it. milonakis is an idiot, and so is his show. he is a cancer to comedy. having him be on mtv makes the brainwashing even worse.
this tvsquad entry should be removed and/or burned at the stake.

This is one of, if not *the* worst show on TV today. If you haven't suffered the agony already and are tempted to b/c of this post, be sure to come back here and thank Karina for wasting your time.

The show isn't that funny, pretty ridiculous actually from the 15-20 minutes I've seen. He has some growth disorder that makes him look 14-15.

Andy's show is brilliant. These people posting here obviously don't get it. They may be comedy impaired. It's too bad, but folks with good taste in comedy love this show.

Watching the Milonakis show, all I can think of is "this must be produced by a group of bored high school kids." The entire premise of "this is random!" seems rather forced, and is completely inane to me.

Andy Milonakis suffers from a hormonal disease which most people die from at an early age. That's what makes him looks so young. I love that show and watch it whenever i can.

This show is an abomination, but it's a really funny abomination. You either adore it or you absolutely loathe it. Personally it cracks me up, and I'll be lying in bed giggling and unable to get to sleep after I watch it. Totally non-sequitur and pointless, no internal consistency or anything. If you don't like one sketch, just wait 20 seconds and something else will come along. It's hard to explain why I find it so funny, I think it's partly the ultra-low production values and partly the fact that Andy can get away with this infantile behavior because he really does look like a child. (I was genuinely surprised to learn he was 29.) His rap lyrics literally have me SOBBING from laughter: "I got a 1040-EZ, your hair is cheesy, like Weezy, don't please me, just say thank you, I wanna spank you..." I heard this show has already been cancelled, but I hope MTV2 or some other network picks it up, because to me it is an absolute RIOT.

Ok, apparently anyone who thinks this show isn't so funny that they want to crap thier pants, they are either ridiculously uptight and thier brains require a certain type of humor that requires thinking and/or making fun of someone/a certain group of people, or have an allergy to simple, random humor. I love the Andy Milonakis show, I don't see how anyone could hate it. I mean come on, it's a fat kid picking on old ladies. What's NOT funny? and the fact that he's actually 29 doesn't change a thing, I still like the show the same way. Matter of fact, it makes the obnoxious actions and skits funnier.
The show is great-- I mean really, John Stamos getting stuck in a tree and getting rabies? what's funnier then that? It's better than anything any of the morons who flame the Milonakis show here could think of, that's for sure.
If the Milonakis Show isn't funny, I'd like to see what you think is. Random is funny.
