Reception

"Real Rob" was met with a largely negative response from critics. The show held a score of 36 on Metacritic based on 5 critic reviews,[12] and a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 8 critic reviews.[13]

On February 20, 2016, Internet personality Arin Hanson voiced his frustrations regarding Real Rob on his daily Let's Play webseries Game Grumps. Hanson felt the show's main issue was that Schneider's character was both unlikable and unreliable, going as far as to say that "it's a show with no demographic." While Hanson's overall feelings toward the show were negative, he did state that he did feel compelled to keep watching, and he also praised the performance of Patricia Schneider, citing her as a legitimately funny presence.[14] Schneider eventually saw Hanson's rant, and later appeared as a special guest on the show along with Patricia on May 16, 2016.[15]
