The Take
Mr. Birchum is not worth watching. The six-episode 2024 Daily Wire+ series earns a 29 Slop score by turning Adam Carolla's long-running radio character into a blunt instrument against inclusion officers and phone-addicted students.
Fantasy mentors and woodshop wisdom provide brief highlights, yet the show feels like King of the Hill with sharper partisan edges that prioritize signaling over sustained comedy.
The Verdict
Carolla voices the no-nonsense junior high teacher with solid support from fantasy mentors and a ghost gym coach. The series directly targets sensitive students and the inclusion officer but lands only as short-form partisan venting.
Mixed Reddit reception and its 2024 one-season run confirm the limited appeal. Mainline King of the Hill instead for the same cranky dad archetype with broader reach.
Skip it. 29 Slop.
