first thing first this be barely real at all . it classify a a reality tv program when in fact pauly shore himself admit a great deal of it be write because he be bore by reality tv . i hate reality tv too . but then do not create a sitcom and pas it off a a reality show . i can understand the concept look cool on paper have a sitcom in the format of reality and shock viewer but that be do before with the office and mind the store be just a poor man version . essentially pauly and the once famous comedian from the 80 and inherit the world famous comedy shop from his mother and take on the financial aspect . of interesting note be that pauly have grow up . he old . he put on weight . he go bald . he generally look . normal . he no longer the skinny babe magnet he be in the 80 ( well and he be never a babe magnet i guess and but girl like him anyway we might never know why ) . this physical transformation alone isn not enough . pauly attitude hasn not change at all . he still annoy and still dumb and still unfunny . the show detail his early life in the opening credit he grow up in a family of comedian and be raise in the comedy store and around many famous stand ups . there be just something in his blood and i think and that wasn not right for comedy . he felt obligate to become a comedian but it wasn not natural for him . a a result he achieve brief success on account of his background but the natural instinct for humor be never there while he have to work hard for whatever joke he land and whereas a naturally gift comedian might be able to succeed brilliantly by grow up in such an environment . i digress . at the end of the day pauly still hasn not learn his lesson . this show be fake and unfunny and scripted and annoying and and stupid . i be willing to give pauly shore another chance and and i have find he just a annoy and whiny a he be in the 80 and 90 . grow up and pauly . lose the stoner voice . get some class . get some good joke . try again .
