I had to write this review out of pure disdain. I have endured three episodes of this show now and felt so compelled to voice my grievances. There is literally no redeeming factor to this program, to say I haven't cracked a smile is an understatement, my face actually turns into a grimace watching this show. We are presented with sketch comedy, some recurring sketches litter this mess. The humour is base, juvenile, even plain pathetic, completely lacking in any sort of faculty of funny that I start to question who legitimately puts money into this being made or whether I should perform a home lobotomy. The recurring sketches, such as RacK, the priests in the church, the medieval war-rousing, True Detective parodies or even the Gina Rinehart parts are just cringe worthy. Really? That whole 'mine' thing is funny? Sweet Lord don't let me live.
The media campaign around this show has been nothing short of intrusive, something anyone involved in this show should think twice about doing again because you're all inviting people to see exactly what it is you 'do', and it's bad. How these 'comedians' who write this can actually sit through make-up, costume and get to various suitable locations to film their skits without once questioning the utter disgrace they are about to commit to screen is beyond me. Some of the comedians are seasoned faces I know and recognise, well, I say that but they're all washed up, clearly, as I haven't seen a lot of them for years save on those 'comedy relief' type fundraisers where people turn a blind eye to the quality in the name of a good cause. As for the new faces, I'm afraid. Afraid you might release something again, plague my screen with filth, debase my brain further and drive me to an early, tragic grave.
For the love of all that is humorous, please stop this madness, please. The only funny thing about this show is that I watched three episodes of it. The utterly depressing factor is that this show is slated for 20 episodes. Wow.
