New York Times: Travis and Jonathan do nice, well turned humor. ...it's hillarious. I’d watch
a Masterpiece Theater series of Travis Rubin soliloquies..."
USA Today: "...Comics Travis and Jonathan do their good ol' boy version of SCTV's Bob
and Doug McKenzie while reviewing Brokeback Mountain."
Salon: "...the Martin and Lewis of the Internet-shorts world..."
Salon: "... brilliant chameleons Travis and Jonathan"
Salon: "If you've seen Werner Herzog's unforgettable documentary "Grizzly Man," then
you're sure to love this demented spoof..."
Defamer: "We're not going to try and explain it. Just watch Grizzly Bear Man for yourself."
rogerebert.com: "...My favorite "review" of "Brokeback Mountain" over at Red State
Update. In a variation on SCTV's "Farm Film Report" with Billy Sol Hurok (Joe Flaherty)
and Big Jim McBob (John Candy), Jackie Broyles and Dunlap (played by Nashville comics
Travis and Jonathan) discuss...how it's nice to enjoy a good Western. What I think is
particularly great about this hilariously inarticulate discussion -- which is sort of the whole
"Brokeback" tizzy in a nutsack -- is that it's not just another stupid "gay cowboy" joke, but is
more about the preconceptions and perceptions of moviegoers than it is about the movie
itself."
Nashville Scene: "...Their work is starting to get the national audience it deserves..."; "a
homegrown Mr. Show... the shows are getting taped and traded across the country..."; "...
one of the funniest and most surprising half-hours of television on any channel..."
"...backwoods Borats..."
Nashville City Paper: "...Two comedic geniuses the size of Andy Kaufman..."

Transbuddha: "The two gents known as Travis and Jonathan consistently turn in some of
the most dead-on movie parodies out there, and their take on Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man
is no exception."
The Day Jobs: "Funny stuff."
Lindsayism: "I love this parody..."
Bushflash: "The experts agree! Beer+ Stereotypes+comedy!"
Eebmore: "...so damn funny and almost subversively sophisticated."
Tofu Hut: "If the idea of Martin Scorsese calling Robbie Robertson "the prettiest Indian in
the world" prompts a giggle, you owe this...one a click."; "The fox gag near the end kills
me."
GreenCine Daily: "...all the kids are clicking it, so you can't be left in the dark..."
The Reeler: "Grizzly Bear Man: The Best Film Herzog Never Made... spoof geniuses Travis
and Jonathan have detonated their classic parody Grizzly Bear Man on the Web like a dirty
bomb..."
Cinematical: "...worth it for the half-assed Herzog impression alone."
documentaries.about.com: "...This parody- funny as it is- serves as a cunning critique..."
Florida Cracker: "my favorite part of this one is where the Levon Helm doll is rolling in a
mountain of cocaine."
