About This Movie

So, 'Bob Goldthwait: Don't Watch This Show' is one of those wild TV movies from the mid-'80s that really captures a certain chaotic energy. Directed by Savage Steve Holland, it's packed with Goldthwait's unique brand of humor—think zany skits and absurd parodies that poke fun at television itself. The pacing is all over the place, which fits the tone; it feels like a madcap variety show that refuses to take itself too seriously. The performances are raw and unpredictable, making it distinctly Goldthwait. I mean, who else could pull off that level of insanity? The practical effects and gags have that unmistakable charm of the era, adding to the overall vibe. Not a conventional special, but definitely has its own flavor.
