Develiker terrible... so disappointed.
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
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
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)
Panny Kobab Five words - where the f..k is Kelvin Cunnington? Thats six but I'm being as economical with words as these guys are with laughs. What happened to Australian comedy? Why did our media get gang tackled by the political left in the late 80's and hasn't looked forward since? The reeffo epilogue was just a gross indulgence by the creators. Lets get to the point. I'm sick of Micallef telling me how stupid the right is, so I don't watch anymore after his breakthrough "hilarious period" - then there's the Project which quite funny but the comedians always stuff up the gags as they forget their lines. Now this dross. Our media is a gov subsidised joke of an industry. Just leave the political stuff to commentators and make us laugh. Paul Hogan talked about who we were in our own language. Barry Humphries laughed about who we think we are. The current generation of comedy writers have no idea who we are so they tell us who we should be. Living in leafy suburbs, wafting around in expensive cars between meetings then make a social comment comedy series. Out of touch, bereft of creativity, without any clue that there's about 15 million people who live here that they forgot. Like Cath and Kim. Geez, Fox have taken a risk on this bunch.
