      Brian Moylan Guardian The show defies easy explanation because it doesn't fit into any preconceived format. That could be a plus if it was breaking barriers and defying genre, but instead it is just a confused mishmash that has no inherent sense of purpose. Jul 9, 2015 Full Review James Poniewozik TIME Magazine As it stands, the only answer so far to Why? with Hannibal Buress is: because. Jul 9, 2015 Full Review Dennis Perkins AV Club Why? With Hannibal Buress is funny... It's also less impactful than it should be. In performance, Buress' looseness is prelude to a sharpness, a comic formula the show hasn't found yet. Rated: B Jul 9, 2015 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media While there are some occasional funny moments, most jokes leave you feeling like they just aren't going anywhere. Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2015 Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV Coming on the heels of a wildly funny new episode of Key & Peele, the Buress show seemed very low-key. Which may prove a good thing in the coming weeks; Buress is a talented man, and his style is a welcome contrast. Jul 9, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

      SDY A Best show ever, Hannibal buress is real as hell and I love the theme song though it's too short. If you don't like this, how are you watching the other satire stuff? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I wish this was just a tad better... Watched the first episode and the remaining 4 are sitting on my TiVo about to get deleted. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Very boring and stale. Hannibal goes from weird skits to a dry monologue where he has very poor timed jokes. How did this guy do stand-up?? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member While Hannibal Buress is extremely funny, this doesn't translate into a good onscreen presence, and does not make up for a lacking and disjointed show. The most funny parts of the show tend to be Hannibal adlibbing after a mediocre joke. This show may be thought of as a slightly beefed up standup routine, with a sketch thrown in, here and there. It's unfortunate that Comedy Central gave him such a small budget to work with, as Hanibbal Buress unquestionably has a bright future ahead of him. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Missed the pilot episode, but ep #2 was really bad. Opening monologue had maybe 1 laugh. Looked like they didn't rehearse. Sad 'cause I like Hannibal a lot in Broad City and his standup. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm a fan of Hannibal Buress and was really looking forward to this show. I think it's probably the worst show I've ever seen in my life. It's not funny. It seems like he just stands on stage hoping to think of something funny but....it never happens. Maybe he thinks that, in and of itself, is funny. Spoiler alert: it's not!!! I usually give new shows a chance: watch at least 3 episodes to give them time. I watched two of these and just can't continue. It's. Just. That. Bad. Dear Comedy Central: please cancel this mess and put on something that actually makes us laugh.
