Action Bronson & Friends Watch Ancient Aliens

Action Bronson & Friends Watch Ancient Aliens is a refreshing take on the common entertainment practice of poking fun at, or providing insightful commentary on, popular culture offerings. Here, rapper and food personality Action Bronson, along with a rotating group of his celebrity friends, watches and comments on the series Ancient Aliens from the History Channel. Unlike typical discussion and review shows, the chief differentiator is the laid-back demeanor, humorous commentaries, and light-hearted exchanges of Bronson with his celebrity guests. There's more than meets the eye in this unusual format, making it one of the unique offerings from Viceland in 2016.

Action Bronson, also known as Ariyan Arslani, is already known for his colorful personality in his music and culinary pursuits. He truly seems to find joy in picking apart the series Ancient Aliens, and his charm undoubtedly carries over to this talk-show. Each episode of Action Bronson & Friends Watch Ancient Aliens features an actual episode from the History Channel series. The episode is shown in full, but with the addition of Bronson and his guests' real-time commentary. The show is both a homage to pop culture and a late-night comedy, rolled into one amusing package.

Each episode has Bronson and his entourage stationed on a couch in what appears to be a living room, casually watching Ancient Aliens. The outlandish themes of the History Channel series immediately set the stage for a rollicking ride of witty commentary, amusing jabs, and insightful dialogue. The friends accompanying Bronson on this journey through ancient astronaut theory vary from episode to episode. Big names such as Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler the Creator, and ScHoolboy Q have made appearances. The variance of guests ensures that each episode brings its own unique flavor of commentary and comedy, making the series unpredictable and immensely re-watchable.

The show brings with it a host of eccentricities. This is reflected in the loose, almost casual structure of the show. This lounge-viewing setting effectively harkens back to all those late-night TV binges with your friends, bringing about a sense of relatability and shared bonhomie. The informal atmosphere allows the celebrities to share their genuine thoughts and reactions to Ancient Aliens' outrageous ideas and theories. There's a lot of laughing, a lot of banter, and a lot of theories being thrown around. Essentially, it's all the fun parts of hanging out with friends.

What sets this show apart, however, isn’t just the humorous and jabbing commentary, but also the background elements that further amplify the watching experience. Every now and then, the producers throw in animations and reenactments, which only serve to make the underlying commentary better, more visual, and certainly more hilarious. There's also a certain amount of educational value to be had as Bronson and his friends, although not experts, make efforts to paraphrase or explain complex theories and claims made in Ancient Aliens.

The eccentricities of the Ancient Aliens series, famous for its far-reaching theories on extraterrestrial life and its impact on ancient and modern civilizations, makes the perfect fodder for Bronson and the gang. The synergy between the in-depth exploration of ancient astronaut theories and the lovable charm of the show's stars makes for a viewing experience that is as engaging as it is unpredictable.

It’s not a typical review show, it’s not a narration, it’s certainly not a cooking show; the simplicity of Action Bronson & Friends Watch Ancient Aliens is its most appealing aspect. The show seduces where most traditional programs have missed – by bringing genuine personality, unexpected humor, and a casual viewing atmosphere to the comfort of your living room. For anyone who is a fan of Action Bronson, Ancient Aliens, or both, this show is a must-watch. And, even for those unreached by the tentacles of ancient alien theory or those who are yet to discover Bronson's charm, this show delivers a comedic, exhilarating escapade worth embarking on.

In conclusion, Action Bronson & Friends Watch Ancient Aliens is more than just a commentary show. It is a social gathering, a party of sorts that invites you to join some friends on the couch and laugh at the absurdities in the universe, whether they are ancient aliens or just the ponderings of the artists you know and love. Through this confluence of humor, pop culture, and the exploration of alien theories, Viceland has created a show that is as comfortable and entertaining as a night in with friends.
