"The Birthday Boys" is a scripted original sketch comedy, executive made by Bob Odenkirk ("Breaking Bad","Mr. Show") and Ben Stiller ("The Secret Life of Walter Mitty","Zoolander"). The series includes the Los Angeles comedy group of the identical name (UCB Theatre Los Angeles, Just for Laughs Festival) along side Odenkirk and can be in the classic strand of absurd/silly/smart/funny number shows ("Mr. Show", Monty Python), comprising sketches which spin real life moments and cultural touchstones.
