No, not really.
I must say I thought the boat would be bigger.
Also, when were they allowed to put their shoes back on in the house, before sitting down for their friendship assessment? They both lose friendpoints for that.
How come? I was in stitches throughout.
they don't it be like it is but it do
But A+ again. (They needed a bigger boat.)
Just walkin around with a champagne glass
Mike is a really nice guy and is known as such, so the portrayal as a rich dick is a character they built to support the Kris and Scott Narrative (which is also artificial). Did you miss the joke?
In my opinion, watching a character be mean to two other characters isn't really much of a joke.
I didn't like this one. It just made me feel awkward and sorry for Kris and Scott. I know it was all made up, but it was still uncomfortable to watch. At least in previous episodes there have been funny lines and lighthearted moments. This was just K&S being walked all over for 11 minutes while Mike bragged about how big his house was and how rich he was. Made even more uncomfortable by the fact that Mike is rich and does have a big house.
I was hoping S&K's K&S show would be more of the genuinely funny Kris and Scott banter and silliness we got in PA the series, and less of the weird hybrid situational comedy/awkward times that they've been. Guess they're just not for me! Oh well.

Yep, this was the selling point. I thought it was brilliant.
But to each their own! Maybe next episode will be more to your tastes.
...I like that. That's good.

Ep. 1 was Family, Ep. 2 was Friendship, so... Ep. 3 is possibly Love?
Yes! See, that was great. That whole first episode was just them making witty banter and being hilarious friends. And then the last two episodes have basically been centered around watching people be put down and insulted and made to feel like crap, Scott's dad doing it to Scott, and now Mike doing it to both Scott and Kris.
Maybe it's just residual anger from having to put up with being on the receiving end of that kind of shit (only real, not imagined) in high school. I don't find it funny, I find it infuriating. It just makes me want to punch the in-episode Mike character in the face so he'll stop being such a dick.

Just an FYI, at the Blamimation Live! panel at PAX, Mike said that it was easier to do this than the Blamimation specifically because it was not scripted. They just asked him to be a dick which he had an easier time improving, as opposed to the Blamimations where they gave him specific lines on a script to read.

I still get pissed off/upset if I read a fictional novel containing fictional characters in which one person disparages the other, treating them like shit. This was no different. I know Mike's not a dick to Scott and Kris in real life.
I guess I'm just too overly empathetic for this kind of humor.

Nobody believes that Mike's like that. It just wasn't that funny. The K&S show demo they did for Kickstarter was the funniest to date.
It's frustrating because these two have a chemistry and consistantly make me laugh (in PATV, Blams, the D&D podcasts) but I've been somewhat let down by their show. I'm still eagerly waiting for each one and I am not ready to pick them apart or anything.

"Don't worry, son. They're leaving soon."
Classic.
I love how they decided they didn't need Mike, and they had each other. Kris and Scott: cutest friends.
This is probably my favorite show on PATV right now, and I am saddened that I missed the opportunity to help kickstart it. Speaking of missed opportunities, Mike should have popped in at the end during the talking head segments, since they were still in his house.
There are a few gag reels they've posted, but over on their donator-only site.
