SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

taz_682 Completely cringe-worthy. Very difficult to watch for more than a couple of minutes at a time. Some of the comedians involved have to be better than what the show produces. I cannot believe that they would watch an episode of the show and be proud that they were involved.Even the sketches chosen for ads on Foxtel are not at all funny or clever. They provide no motivation to watch the show and I would suggest Comedy Channel really suggest reviewing it.I would not recommend this show to anyone, young or old.

jocajosh wow, if this is the current state of Australian comedy, no wonder Tony Abbot is Prime Minister. The best I can say about this tired, formulaic turd of a show is that after a while, it finishes. The targets of the parodies are already doing a good job of that themselves (and so don't need this show to help them along) so this show is completely unnecessary. There's nothing new in anything I saw here. It starts to make me think that "Pompidou" by Matt Lucas was better than I thought it was. If you want good Australian Comedy, watch "Danger 5" not this abomination. I can only surmise that the sad "comedians" that appeared here were paid so much that they threw any integrity out the window and I think I can safely say, there won't be a Season 2

giggletrivia You know the scenario and the risk associated with it-you know, when a friend recommends to you a movie or a book and your take on it will then translate to the opinion you have from that point on of the friend themselves?I am really glad that none of my friends have recommended this tripe or it would be a deal breaker.I understand comedy is hard, and there is a unique knack required. I also want to start off with a positive-Gina Riley still makes me smirk and still has comedy presence.that's where it starts and ends folks.I was actually sitting there in shock watching some of these skits and how bad they were from the first episode.What were Foxtel thinking? The writers, including B grade comedian Paul Calleja, has failed before.There should be an inquest on who wrote, directed, then gave the final nod for the skit on the man and woman farting after a first date. This wouldn't have been funny from a Year 8 drama class.Marg Downey was outright annoying, Magda looked tired and Shane Jacobson has done extremely well in ensuring his endearing and huggable Kenny is now all but forgotten, replaced by an enigma that is about as funny as an indoor plant.Jane Turner was funny, once, on Full Frontal, but I'm pretty sure in the 1980s I laughed at Daryl Somers once too.A newbie by the name of George Xanthis, whom was 50% responsible for the farting skit from hell, is definitely a good actor, he acted as if he could not translate from drama roles to comedy-perfectly.As if my main course of comedy wasn't severely underdone, Open Slather then has the cheek to plagiarise a YouTube video, without reference, as the closing section of the show, outlining the First World problems of dominoes customers.This is the awful judgement summarily displayed of what they subjected us to in the 45 minutes prior.I don't want to be harsh, I am honestly holding back on how bad this series is looking like it will be. Australian Comedy is a tough gig, and another reviewer I read recently is correct, there is not enough edge to today's Aussie scene of comedy and that isn't going to change here. What's even more horrifying is the seemingly manufactured tweets running around where people laud the opening episode as 'hilarious' etc. They are either friends/relatives, or have just come out of jail after a long stint.And one more thing to avoid? Crikey's Ben Neutze, read his review of Open Slather and if you don't want to punch him in the face and shake him until he drops for writing such an inaccurate summary, then I offer myself, because maybe I am the one completely out of touch with Australian comedy. If Open Slather is the benchmark, then I don't want to be in touching distant of it again anyway.

Sirtuinhilip Bishop I agree with above; I was expecting Gina Jane and Maggda to be doing something like a 'Chris Lilley' format, but this was just an attempt to yet again rescusitate the tired Fast Forwadr formula - already it was tired in 1989 Remember the "Big Gig" hosted by Wendy Harmer - you can watch episodes from 1988 and its more cutting edge than this "comedy" made in 2015. Remember the D-Gen? Then Catherine Tate, Little Britain? For God's sake they could've done better than this embarrassment! Our best comedians go overseas and don't look back ... ABC airs Qi every.single.day ... why can't we do similar here instead of family feud. Or relaunch the Big Gig? Comedians have to go o/s or shmooze with the mainstream and the past! ONE LONG CRINGE MOMENT!! (THE GIRLS EXCEPTED)
