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.

Thanks for watching Backpack Picnic. If you haven't already you should very much and totally go check out play value. It's my favorite other show on OnNetworsk.
I just watched all of these in reverse order. So much better than the work I'm supposed to be doing. Loved 'em!
OLD SCHOOL! I totally forgot about eradicating science. One of my original favorites, for sure. Nice work, fellas.

Oh man. These guys are amazing! They manage to hit on so many different facets of humor with their varied sketches. I look forward to the new episode every week and they never cease to surprise me.

I stopped thinking for myself ages ago and it's done wonders for my social life!
How do these keep getting better each time? I don't know, but I'm thankful for it. On a side note, the little computer guy with arms and legs looks exactly like the illustrations in the workbooks I had in the 4th grade on how to program in BASIC.
