Interview with Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB)

[Chibart]

I worked in the business for ten years. These guys were the only group I ever really looked up to. Brilliant consistently. I was very lucky to have "known them when".

[MrBubbaloo]

if you like UCB humor and check out the state, The Nomads (GIGI!), the kids from WKUK, and the mitchel and webb sketch show.

[mbenzsl2000]

All the stuff that UCB does is hillarious.

Got to see the "reuben williams" improv shows in NYC couple years ago...FUNNY AS HELL.....hope they still do that particular show...

[wolfmanjacksaid]

Ian Roberts got BIG

[imbalancingact]

UCB beats Mr. Show by nose as my favorite sketch show of all time. Pure genius kinda stuff, and so amazingly rewatchable, over and over, for over a decade now. Still stands up every time. 'You do know what "every time" means now, right?' 'Yeah, always.'

[MastaJaysQ]

Ian just got old, that happens to everyone +40 lol. Have you seen his and Walsh's new show 'Players'? He's not as skinny as the CC show days, but he looks like old Ian.

[sr038]

@MastaJaysQ it is really dramatic, how much he's changed, if I couldn't hear his voice in this clip I would've never thought that is him

[LouReedsBooks]

I like his Sturdy Wings T-shirt

[fuckingassholeface]

legendary people.

[DJEDI296]

Ian Roberts looks like an Oxycontin addict...

[MsUrsulaHitler]

Jeez, I never would've recognized Ian Roberts! The other guys haven't changed much since the Comedy Central days, but he literally looks like a different guy! Not that much older, just a little heavier and... different.

[gweijai]

That's exactly my impression...he even sounds different. Maybe he was a cyborg after all.....

[Brandtalones]

Are these double-coasting? No wonder they look like they've been up all night...

[aielaiel]

THERES A QUARTER IN YOUR EAR BITCH

[SaintPatrick33]

I think I am going to build a Hot Chicks room. Should up the resale value.

[theboomster]

I threatened someone with a homemade Poo Stick and made them say I was their Mama. PRESTO BITCH!

[primalsincerity84]

those pennies have been in my ass. to date 12 million have passed thru my rectum. you use my ass pennies to make a wish in a fountain you give my ass pennies to your daughter for the gum ball machine

[chasebizzy]

Is that the guy from EastBound and Down?

[GoochShow]

awesome interview. these guys are my heroes.

[S14SilviaSE]

i miss ucb

[HadoukenJojo]

UCB was within the top five scetch comedy shows of all time. Better than that garbage that Mad TV. Hell, I would say that the three seasons of UCB are pound for pound, funnier than any season of SNL

[timabad]

what the hell is a moon cheese baby?!

[mkultra2300]

...everybody. EAT THE CHEESEBURGER ASTROBOY!

[IndIka024]

Comedy Central should play the old 3 seasons of UCB. There were some funny god damn skits.. bong boy, super cool addicts, little donny, the guy dying on the bed that just wanted his wife to put a dildo in his ass.. the "shut up" kid the parents locked up and slapped when they got annoyed.. fuckin golden stuff..

[xiaphias]

HEY HEY HEY. hold on there. He wanted his wife to spank his ass with a dildo.

[mkultra2300]

they need to release season 3 on dvd already...how many years has it been since they released season one?

[sbndaytonaguy]

Don't forget Ass Pennies

[mcgrewrich]

What happened to the girlie who was like the 4th member of the UCB besides these 3 guys? What was her name? Amy Poehler or something? It's too bad that she ended up being the least famous member of the Upright Citizens Brigade, and nobody even knows who she is anymore. I heard she was on some shitty show nobody watches called "Saturday Night Live" or something. Not a good career move. Nobody from this "SNL" show ever has a career in showbiz afterwards. Just ask Adam Sandler, for instance.

[m1979m123]

Apparently Antwan ate Colby

[sircasab83]

I just saw "Role Models" recently, so Matt Walsh's shirt really cracked me up once I realized why it looked familiar.

[djdoublehelix]

what brought you to LA? I think I took Southwest.  nice

[hughtub]

It's funny seeing how they interact like that, when Besser makes a joke and Roberts laughed.

[RoboSean]

Dude, Ian Roberts got skinny when he was on a movie called Martin and Orloff, then fattened up.

What gives?

[wopafoona]

I remember when my sister was watching "Bring It On" once when I was home for Christmas. From different room i recognized Ian Roberts voice. The only good part of that movie was Ian as "Sparky Palastry". His performance damn near made me piss myself. He's a guy who should have more roles in EVERYTHING!!!

[Graehaus]

again UCB was 10 yrs ago, the television show anyways, we look all different from 10 yrs ago. He still is funny as hell, They ALL are.

[MiniSkirtMassacre]

Ian is one of the funniest people on the planet. I see asspennies in my fortune cookie!

[jrhcp31]

hahaha

[Procoptodon]

Ian's gained weight, but it's not fair to call him fat because you don't know what's going on with him physically. For all you know he could have kidney problems or diabetes. Just saying it'd be terrible to call him "fat" and then find out he has health problems.

[MattHood]

you seem to carry a lot of guilt around with you.

[Procoptodon]

I dunno, I don't think so, but maybe i do. I just would hate to find out that there's something physically or emotionally wrong with Ian who i think is one of the funniest people on the planet, y'know?

[justiceleague3000]

Oh my god! Ian looks HOT with the goatee and weight gain! WOOF, what a BEAUTIFUL bear he has become!

[Gumbyrearygood]

Ian's personality got fat.

[Homebrewchatterer]

I seriously wouldn't recognize Ian on the street nowadays. Amazing what 9 years will do to you.

[popcornpop6]

Me either! Are they sure they didn't get the wrong guy for this interview? haha.

[Homebrewchatterer]

It's ironic too because Ian was in the best shape out of all of the guys. He looked athletic, almost like a football player. I guess this is what happens when you stop exercising.

[martypaw103]

They got fat. What the eff!

[Capadona91]

are they ever going to have a sketch comedy tv show again?

[Me401]

Ian gained a lot of weight

[LegendLength]

Wow that really surprised me. What I don't understand is that he made a cameo in the film 'step brothers' which was made this year. He looked nothing like he did in this video.

[rpaxon]

It's most surprising because he was always by far in the best shape out of the group.

[neonova03]

It's pretty common for people with more muscle to gain more weight when they're not as active. He must've given up Japanoistretching.

[slappychappy04]

i think i took southwest.funny

[budfloydi]

yeah second comment :D

[somecallmejim]

I've seen UCB live and met these guys. They're hilarious.

Great video.
