Ben and Burman

2011 · 1 season

A fast-paced, joke-dense sitcom that feels like a modern vaudeville act, with bickering banter and silly schemes.

Tagline: Best Friends. Bitter Enemies
Overview: A throw-back homage to the comedy duos of old, Ben and Burman is a modern day odd couple pairing. Ben, an anal-retentive control-freak, and Burman, the world's biggest scum-rat, take each other to their wit's end through agitated banter, plans gone awry, and a crack squad of off-kilter friends and foes.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, light and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, identity, work
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
