IFC's The Birthday Boys Sketch Comedy TV Show Premiere: YouTube Trailer Reveals Bob Odenkirk From Breaking Bad as Producer and Cast Member [TRAILER] [LIVE ONLINE STREAM]

A new sketch comedy show called The Birthday Boys is scheduled to hit IFC tonight. The premiere is teased on the YouTube trailer that is currently available online and features several spoilers for tonight's show. The critics main concern with The Birthday Boys is that it is one of a million shows that appeals to the middle aged white male. However, with hilarious appearances by Breaking Bad's Bob Odenkirk (Saul), the show may be able to turn a few clichés around and make some original material to generate genuine laughs.

Neil Genzlinger from the New York Times wrote, "If you are reaching the saturation point with this type of sketch work, "The Birthday Boys" may cause you to sigh at the sameness of it all. But if you've stayed away from those other yucksters, these ones provide fairly consistent midlevel laughs. The troupe likes to use premises that recur throughout an episode, which provides room to stretch out. In the premiere, the running gag is a parody of all those documentaries about Silicon Valley wizards whose big idea begins in a garage. Here, the wizards aren't much interested in talking about their computer breakthrough; it's the garage itself that they view as their main achievement. The sketch is an example of what these kinds of troupes do best: find comedy by turning a cliché on its head."
