The Bronx Bunny Show (2007)

The Bronx Bunny Show is so deliberately rancid that it could be the brainchild of Adam Corolla or Seth Green on acid. Properly viewed, it will make you throw up a little in your mouth. However, you'll probably just laugh your fool head off if you're part of its target demographic: fans of Jackass, reality TV, women's wrestling, porn, and Star Trek. Filmed live from what is supposed to be a visibly spunk-stained sofa in a filthy apartment in east L.A., the Bronx Bunny is an ugly bug-eyed brown bunny from da Bronx. His sidekick, Teddie T, is an ugly bug-eyed panda with numerous addictions and illnesses that cause him to be phlegmatic (and not in a good way) with the guest stars. The Bronx Bunny Show is Jiminy Glick meets Crank Yankers in da hood: Every fifth word is a blistering vulgarity, every line involves busting each other's chops with sexual and scatological slams, it's not clear whether every guest star is clued in on the schtick (Jolene Blalock looks sincerely shocked), and almost every show excerpts an R-rated tongue-in-cheek (and not in the usual sense) porn video starring Teddie T. I watched 7 out of 10 episodes at 15 minutes each (including the schmoozing Steve Schirripa from The Sopranos and vain Kelly Carlson from Nip/Tuck, oozing Michael Rapaport from nothing important and so-o-o gay George Takei from Star Trek, conceited wrestler Chris Jericho and self-kidding Mark Hamill from Star Wars, posing rapper Method Man and disingenuous Tina Majorino from Napoleon Dynamite, health-conscious Howie Mandel in absolutely the wrong place, vapid lady wrestler Stacy Keibler, pandering Eric Roberts and sincere Robin Leach, straight-up if put-upon Richard Schiff from The West Wing, and sweet Jolene Blalock from Star Trek: Enterprise), but I couldn't justify sitting through Joely Fisher or the remaining no-name actors. These two are real characters -- just gritty and edgy ones. IW. 2 stars.
