The season 2 web series is going to premiered on E!Channel (February 24th or 25th - check your local listing), so I guess it's okay to have a thread for this awesome and hilarious show.

Trailer of the show season 2

I just saw the first two episodes from the official Yahoo TV series, and they're pretty funny. I love all the cast, especially the VM and Party Down alum like Ryan Hansen, Adam Scott, Martin Starr, and Michael Cera. I hope Ken Marino would make a cameo as Mark from season 1.

I don't know how this works - shall we put spoiler bars before the show premiered on E! ? Or can we talk about the episodes and previous season?

[HoneyBee]

I love this show. It's hilarious. I don't understand why can't just show it on TV. I just realized that Ken Marino is actually super hot. I never paid attention before because he's always playing a doofus.

I think we can talk about previous season, but not this season before it airs on E channel.

[Pharangese]

Just the two of us watching the show? What the hell?

Anyway, the show won Streamy Awards:

Online programs and performances from Tom Hanks, The Walking Dead, Red Bull’s live leap from space, Ken Jeong and 21 others won Streamy Awards this afternoon. The biggest winners were Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, based on the durable videogame series, which picked up best drama series and three other awards, and Burning Love, which won for best comedy series, ensemble, male comedy performance and Jeong’s best guest appearance. Awards go to video programming that is either live-action or animated, recorded or live and streamed across online platforms for viewing.

The event naturally was streamed live on the Web from the Palladium in Hollywood late this afternooon, and was produced by Dick Clark Productions. It was hosted by comedian Chris Hardwick, who also is part of the Nerdist online programming channel. Video of the awards can be watched here: http://www.streamys.org/live/.

Once again, I'm watching a funny but underrated show.

It is funny stuff. June Diane Raphael is great. She's lovable even when she's being utterly insane.

[myriadphalanx]

This show is incredibly funny and I'm glad to see it's living up to the first season. Presumably Blaze will get tossed soon since the "person who doesn't want to be there is in the finals" story was already done last year, but lord knows who she will finally end up with.

Too bad Cera is already out since everything his character said was hilarious.

"Who killed who?"
"There's no way of knowing."

First season's gonna premiere (well, TV premiere) on E! tomorrow! I flaked on watching this, so I figure I'll start with the TV airing and then catch up on season 2 later.

[shotgunserenade]

I caught this show yesterday. It was hilarious! "Hi, can I steal you for a second?" How many times has that been said in all of the seasons? I can't believe It was online first and I never heard about it.

I watched all parts to the second season, and Michael Cera's expressions kill me.

[marcia marcia]

I love this show so much and only wish I could watch season one in canada

[persiaa]

I just found this show and it's hilarious. It needs to be publicized more.

[Rhettwoods]

Watching "The Bachelor" and then watching "Burning Love" was hysterical. I never heard of this show -- I only found out about it because it was advertised during "Fashion Police" which I watched for their Oscars' critique.
One of the funniest shows I have seen in a long time.

[chickieloveknit]

Caught this for the first time last night and thought it was absolutely laugh out loud funny! Are the episodes on E! season one or two?

Loved "Ballerina", "Titi" and the dog sniffing Ken's butt while he was doing push-ups! The snark based on the Bachelor is great: everyone being a Dental Hygeniest and "can I steal you for a minute"?

[shotgunserenade]

They are on season one on E!. They have the second season on the yahoo site.

I think my favorite part was the description of the old woman being retired Dental Hygeniest.

[teddysmom]

So glad to see this forum!!

I love love love this show. I found out about it from listening to "How Did This Get Made" podcast.

Ken Jeoung in Season One, Epi One was awesome. And no one could do the host better than Michael Ian Black.

everyone being a Dental Hygeniest and "can I steal you for a minute"?

This!!

Absolutely the funniest thing on tv right now.

In Season Two, when Wally has his reaction to peanuts, I was dying. Isn't the teacher the same actress from Mad Men? The teacher Don left in the car overnight?

Once again, I'm watching a funny but underrated show.

Same here. I tell people about it and they look at me like I'm insane. E! did interview Ken Marino during their Monday night Oscar news recap, so maybe it will pick up some audience. And I noticed they are running it almost every night.

[HoneyBee]

they are on season one on E!. They have the second season on the yahoo site.

Season one on E!channel.

Ken Marino won The Streamy Awards for Burning Love!

I don't know whether we're okay to talk about season two here, because it's not aired on E! yet. But season two is already aired in Yahoo!TV. I guess it essentially the same, right?

[kerrey92]

A friend of mine recommended this to me and I loved it. It was so funny. I haven't watched a lot of the Bachelor but I've seen enough to know this is SPOT.ON. in it's snark. The dental hygenist, child psychologist, drunk girl, slutty girl...just hilarious.

Part of me wants to watch season 2 on line, but part of me wants to wait until I'm farther through season 1 on E!...is that silly?

[cal331]

I have never seen The Bachelor (except for clips on The Soup, and I still thought this was hysterical. The Aniston reveal was hilarious, but I think Kristen Bell is the real ringer here. (Unintentional pun.) When I liked the show on Facebook, I learned there was another 'Bachelorette' season happening now with a ton of talented actors in it. I hope E! airs it right after S1 is done. Anyone know how many episodes are in each season?

[djsunyc]

My girlfriend and I are watching seasons 2 online now but just saw the first episode of season 1 on E. What a brilliant show. It's pretty cool so many "big" names are involved.

[charmgirl]

Just discovered this gem... and it has me LMAO!!! So great at spoofing the ridiculousness of The Bachelor! Heh!


Some of my favorite lines:
"Sure, I've dated women in the past. But I feel like I'm really ready to settle down... with a stranger"...

"I feel like one of these women could end up being my wife... or at least my fiance... for a while."

Another hilarious gag: A blind photograher, who Mark really, really wants to get rid of because he needs someone who can see the real him... and well..

Hooray, the show got some sort of weecap from TWoP!

Yeah, I like that everyone from Party Down, Veronica Mars, Childrens Hospital, Parks & Recs, Community, New Girl, and even Reaper are in this show. I feel like a mini reunion from those shows.

I love that instead of rose, it's a hose.

[Pharangese]

I don't mind talking about first season again. Both seasons are awesome.

There's an official Mark Orlando Twitter, and 'he' always post hilarious tweets.

[EllieH]

I loved Season 1 and Season 2 has not disappointed so far! And I'm excited for the next episode

Spoiler

when Mark returns!

[GreedyGretchen]

I have not loved a show as much as I love this one in a long time. It's not just the parodies of the contestants; they really nailed every detail of the show, things that might be lost on the casual viewer. Like the overhead shot of the host at the door to the mansion, the bachelor coming out of the limo and buttoning his jacket, and then the host grinning and holding his arms up and slightly out. I love it!

My best friend and I watched the first episode four times this weekend, and kept noticing something new each time. Then we watched a bunch of season 2 episodes online, which I was actually glad we did without having seen all of season 1 first, because some of the guys from season 2 were on last night's episode of Burning Love and having seen season 2 already they didn't seem "recycled". So anyone wanting to watch some of that season online definitely should, as long as you don't mind knowing who the bachelorette is, as she hasn't been kicked off Mark Orlando's season yet.

I like Kristen Bell a lot and her Adam & Eve joke was absolutely awesome.

I love Michael Ian Black's expression as The Host of the show, that he wants to bludgeon the contestants sometimes because they're dumb.

[iluvtv313]

OK this show is laugh out loud funny, and I can't remember the last time I've said that about a show. "Wet Hot American Summer" is one of my favorite movies, so I'm a big fan of Ken Marino and Michael Ian Black. I'm embarrassed to say I've watched every season of the Bachelor, but maybe that's why I enjoyed this so much, because of how ridiculous the comments and characters are.

Every time they cut to the smiling panda face, I bust out laughing.

[cosmom]

This is too funny. When I first saw an ad for it I thought it was another version of The Bachelor and I thought "how dumb". I did not realize until I read something here that it was a parody. This is a hoot.

[Pharangese]

Well, there are people still thinking that it's a real show. You should read the comments... OH WOW. And the show runners are delighted with the whole thing, because it means it's a success.

[vinyl]

I find this show hilarious! I did see a couple seasons of the Bachelor/Bachelorette years ago, and it was awful. Now, watching this show, I realize how asinine and excruciatingly repetitive those shows are. I cannot believe they still have viewers.

[DashDixon]

I stay far away from The Bachelor and shows like it, but this is hysterical. I can't believe that some think this is "real" and not a parody. No, strike that, I can believe it and it makes me so sad for the future. These are the same folks who think the Sears commercials are for real shows.

[HoneyBee]

Ken Marino tweeted about that, and he's just happy about it because it really tells how ridiculous the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows are.

[vinyl]

LOL that someone out there thinks this is real - and one of the women runs around without pants (OR underwear?!!). Plus, many of the women (and Ken Marino) ate familiar actors.
