Thank god you are here.

Lame, pathetic, rehearsed, fake.

Disappointing effort from the Working Dog team, I have always enjoyed their other stuff but this is just lame.

Why promote the fact it is all unrehersed and they have no idea what is going to happen when clearly they do.

I dont know what is worse, the show itself or the forced laughter from the crowd.

I would be very suprised if it lasted a month.

Wasn't too bad, but I was listening to Mitch Hedberg live in concert at the same time, and Mitch > any other comedian so they totally looked craptastic by comparison.

Well I liked it, overall.

The quality of the show is going to depend on the performers, but I think it has potential.


I'm not sure why you got the impression it was rehearsed. I went to a recording of this last week and thought it was pretty funny and well put together - and not rehearsed. If it was rehearsed, Fifi Box wouldn't have sucked so much and Angus Sampson would have been able to build more on his segment. That said, Frank Woodley was terrific as was Peter Rowsthorn.

The supporting cast may have rehearsed, probably given a storyline to move the sketch in a particular direction. I don't have a problem with that - the point of that is to see if the main performers can handle whatever direction the supporting cast take it.

Improv comedy is always going to be a bit hit and miss, but I think it deserves a reasonable audience.

 

[Squizza]

I actually thought it was pretty funny. Fifi was struggling big time, she probably got the hardest situation though.

 

[w00dy]

i missed fifi but saw the rest of it... it's the best effort of homegrown comedy we've seen for a while... think it could work... as said above though, it's going to rely on them getting good guest performers... pete rowsthorn was very funny, as was woodley, whilst the other two were just meh...

Concept already been sold to 21 countries worldwide, and my my have their cleaned up the set since the pilot.

 

[jefffff34]

What concept? It's just basic theatre sports.

Shane Bourne belongs in the Hey Hey studio from 1987, he is past it.

I found it strange that they refer to it as a "new concept".Anyone that watches Whose Line Is It Anyway or saw the theatre sports show that was on years ago would've seen this concept.

The show wasn't bad,but it was dragged out.The horse commentary was just stupid.

Get rid of Shane Bourne.He's as funny as Trevor Marmalade.Surely there must be an out of work bogan from Aus Idol or BB that could do a better job.

 

[Monkster]

I quite enjoyed it, certainly enough to give it another watch next week.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

I did not think it was that good. In saying that, the 4 people are not funny to begin with.

 

[Roonaldo!]

Who's line is it anyway is better.

 

[crazy_big_al]

seriously crap

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Put House at 7:30pm, NCIS or whatever that show is at 8:30 and Bring Back the PANEL!

 

[Runk]

I thought Frank Woodley and Peter Rowsthorn were excellent. Particularly Frank. Fifi, just horrible. Angus Sampson, just boring.
Definitely has potential but needs some serious tweaking.

 

[HBF]

Missed it last week but will have a look at it this week. Find it hard to believe that anything to do with the Working Dog Team is bad.

 

[Miss Divine]

I heard Shaun Micallef was going to be on it soon
I may actually watch it now

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

That's got me on board...

Micallef is missed on Australian TV.

 

[musha_13]

I thought the show was great.

The only problem was that it overlapped a bit and I missed the start of Spicks & Specks.

 

[jls-roos]

haha Micallef was awesome...

"It's Alfred Gerns!"

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Fifi is an embarrassment to comedy. how the ******** did she win?

 

[Refried Noodle]

Micallef was good, but turned off when that chick came on, I knew within 10 seconds of her talking she had nothing.

 

[w00dy]

very true, she was terrible... what a crock with her winning... tom said going into the last scene where they're all in that it was still close and he was looking for someone to stand out... fifi said 1 line for the whole scene with a terrible accent... micallef owned the show tonight...

i think they've worked out the best way to keep people interested with fifi on the show is to make the most of her cleavage... they certainly did tonight...

 

[Mikes4]

Fifi is an embarrassment to comedy. how the ******** did she win?

the....french.....are.....coming....hehehehehe.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

the....french.....are.....coming....hehehehehe.

Yeah dude I was watching that bit with a friend and when she did it we just looked at each other. We didnt know why everybody laughed. It was the unfunnies6t thing I had ever sen. She was an embarrassment

 

[Z_K]

Massive cans though.
