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.

Sketchfest: Weekend 2 Round-Up
Time Out Chicago - 01.14.08
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.
Speaking with: Mitch Baker
Chicago Sun-Times - 01.11.08
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.

Best band member intro yet!
"Hey kids over 18..."
I wanna be Satiated! I think my favorite bit is the awkward "I've run out of room so I'll roll across the wall" thing. Makes me laugh every time.
more timely than a local motive!

After all of the other great episodes I did not enjoy this one as much. The otheres seem to have more thought put into them.
5 Words...I pay IT with Pee. Pure Comedy...ok that's 7 words but you get my meaning.
Dear Backpackers,
I wanted to apologize for the tardiness of this episode's release. We got held hostage by an angry band of extra hot super models but from now until eternity we promise to have them released without fail every Monday evening.*
* Not an actual promise.
It's about time!
Man, there's something about the way the word "satiated" is pronounced that just does me in. Also, when the "Bee Swat" cuts from being played on the tape recorder to being played at full volume, my monkey brain tells me that I just saw something really cool. And it's right.
