Review of The Assistant

The Assistant (2004– )
funny... in a bizarre way
27 July 2004
There are two kinds of people in this world:

People who love Andy Dick and people who hate him. Being in the former of the two, I happen to enjoy Andy Dick's take on "reality". But this show isn't exactly "funny" in traditional Dick manner.

In fact the comedic moments come from seeing the contestants do ridiculous things to get an "entry level" job and a Scion.

Granted, he does have some funny parts, (i.e. his book: The Life And Times of Andy Dick; knocking over lit torches and setting bushes ablaze; etc) but this is certainly a dark comedy reality show.

But hey, who said dark comedy wasn't funny?
