The first two episodes focus on two sketches: "Crazy Christians," which [[TakeOurWordForIt we don't see]], and a [[HumourDissonance painfully unfunny]] mock-gameshow where several religious stereotypes defend their beliefs about scientific topics.

** Also weirdly subverted, inverted and generally messed around with. In the episode where Simon takes Matt to see a hotly-tipped black stand-up comedian, the one they're there to see trots out all the stereotypes associated with that joke and is totally unimpressive. The guy who comes on after him, who is much more sophisticated, absolutely ''tanks''... but, to the audience, he is considerably funnier than the guy who got all the laughs.

* HumorDissonance: The "brilliant" sketches.A major criticism of the show was how the characters act as if the in-series sketches are comedy brilliance when what is shown would be considered weak for the last half-hour of a bad ''Saturday Night Live'' episode. One of the reasons why critics preferred ''Series/ThirtyRock'' was because its ShowWithinAShow was intentionally depicted as being unfunny and stupid.

Perry's addiction problems became public years before he was cast for this show, so the character having a drug problem is not a Funny Aneurysm Moment.
