An Enter the Dojo fans here? Its a hilarious look at the work of McDojos, styled after shows like The Office.
Master Ken has some great side videos, and occational does live demonstrations. |

Who couldn't learn from Master Ken? He's an 11th Dan after all!

I have found season three some what hit-and-miss regarding the humour. However, I have enjoyed the satire of season 1 and 2, and although I have found some of it has fallen flat in 3 because it is starting to rely on humour regarding the characters rather than the source material of McDojo culture it is still a good show.

I'm in agreement with Wado Heretic--the first two seasons were great, but it seems to have gone a bit downhill. That said, my Sensei's girlfriend managed Master Ken's tours for a while, and we like him anyway

Yeah, something was lost in season 3. I guess that's why they stopped making them.
There are really only so many jokes you can make about McDojos before it started getting repetitive. |

Every time I think that, my local McDojo does something that even master Ken would laugh at. I think the main problem is toning it down enough to be believable! |

As the stereotype well ran dry, it became, I do not want to say less "funny" but the reliance on where they were getting the humour changed. By three they were engaging in absurdity, and character humour; but because the characters are caricatures and absurd in the first place it fell flat to me.
I hope they continue to do shorts, and live shows though, as they remain funny.

| Definitely needs to make more "your art is bull" videos! The comments from people who seem to think he is serious are alone worth it. |

Cynthia in "Thrust of freedom" was probably my favourite scene in the whole show.
I'm subscribed, but the "season" shows have dried up.
