It's very hit and miss. Mostly miss.
The BAD:
Eccentric DOES NOT equal funny.
Really difficult to watch this histrionic mess. It's just pure immature over-acting in "zany" situations.
An example scene is a "laundry fight" with no lines or jokes, just them throwing laundry around, it's hilarious-- oh wait, not it isn't it's worthless.
50% of the time they mope around talking in 8-year-old voices and making childish faces. ---
The GOOD:
Every now and then the troupe does come up with some extremely funny material.
---
Over-all, when it's funny, it's very very funny. Few shows makes laugh out loud, and this on rare occasion does. These laughs usually arise from the ridiculousness in which the show is drenched.moreless

Show Summary
EDIT
Stella, a comedic satire of everyday life, features the talents of Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain. Don't let the suits fool you…the maturity level of these guys doesn't always match their attire. As they go through their day they spread their sarcasm and wit-tinged non-sensical comedy to everyone they meet.
The show was based on the stage-comedy and videos of the troupe of the same name by Black, Showalter, and Wain, who also wrote, produced and helped in directing the show.
