Brulefest: The Best of Check It Out with Steve Brule!

Overview

Performers pretending to be experts interviewing regular folks: it's the comic gift that keeps on giving. When it comes to this style of comedy, most people think of Sacha Baron Cohen, Ali G, Borat and Bruno, but they should also be thinking of John C. Reilly and Dr. Steve Brule.

In Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule, the actor most will recognise for his roles in everything from Boogie Nights to Chicago and Step Brothers to Cedar Rapids plays the socially inept doctor no one should seek advice from. It's a spin-off from Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, which should give you an indication of the kind of humour you're in for.

It also seems to be a favourite of the gang at the Scratch, as they've created Brulefest to celebrate their fumbling, bumbling, stumbling, rambling deity of delusion. There'll be beer, of course, to help the laughs flow freely while you watch the first season in its entirety — although the awkward life lessons you'll be consuming will probably already do the trick.
