Funnyman Jon Benjamin has a van but he's not some perv; He's just a journalist sticking his mic where it doesn't belong. Whether pushing buttons in ambush interviews or taking riotous trips to the absurd, Jon is going where no van has gone before.
What do these four characters have in common? They are all voiced by Jon Benjamin. The awesome part? All of his voice work is done in the same voice, yet each character is completely different.
Jon Benjamin has a van is a parody of news crews and special interest reporting. Set as a news crew on the beat, Jon, his sound guy, cameraman and producer usually cover stories that generally starts simple and quickly goes to the absurd.
I kinda slept on the show during its first weeks, but once I pieced together who H.J.B was and how talented he is, I tuned in. I wish the show was given another season. As with any show with segments, some will hit and some will miss. I've highlighted a few I thought were not only funny, but also showed off the show's creativity and absurdity.
WereJew - Jon becomes an Orthodox Jew during a full moon.
Kidnapped Soundguy - After the soundguy is kidnapped, Jon and the crew race to get him back.
Border Crossing - Jon tries to make amends for a prank war gone bad.
Hot Beef Injection - Jon does a retrospective on the man who coined the infamous phrase.
Out of Five? 4.5
Violence? Simulated
Explosions? A few
Nudity? No
