Odd ... leaves you staring at the screen thinking, "What the hell?" But one of the funniest videos of them all. Backpack picnic is just one of them random, totally spur of the moment things. The way the music just stops when David gets hit in the face was halarious (not for everyone, but still bloody funny).
yeah exactly like stella, but it's not three guys living in an apartment, and they don't always wear suits, and there's more than three guys, and in some episodes they have jobs and in others they're interviewing for them, and it's not thirty minutes, and it's sketches not a 22 minute continuous plot linee, and it's not on comedy central, but otherwise, just like stella, yeah.
If you ever wondered what an actual Backpack Picnic looked like....you obviously spend too much time watching these weirdos. At any rate, the Backpack boy have obliged those curious with this eye-opening episode.
Don’t get me wrong, Backpack’s not for everybody – it’s about
as random as it comes – but it’s definitely a breath of fresh air in
the sketch comedy landscape where lame writing and tired clichés
flourish.
They came to town via Austin amidst huge buzz from the sketch community,
so I was pumped to see what these boys could bring. If you were hanging
around the fest later Friday night, you already know that I thought
this show was phenomenal. At the risk of sounding like a Rolling Stone
movie review, I’ll add that I laughed the entire time. Hard.
Take the absurdity of Monty Python and mix it with the wit and hilarity
of Kids in the Hall and you've got yourself the makings of Backpack
Picnic. The Austin, Texas-based sketch comedy troupe, best known for
its top-rated Internet shorts on onnetworks.com, will perform as part of the Chicago Sketchfest.
