Open Slather

Open slather can only be described as embarrassing. None of the skits are even slightly funny and I'm surprised some of the comedians agreed to take part in it.

Axe this show before you ruin the careers of some of our best acts.. The writers , if there are any , should look for different jobs because they certainly aren't professional comedy writers..

Also why is there a 10 line text minimum to submit this stupid review? Some of us don't need to dribble on forever to get a point across..

Open slather is terrible ,awful , embarrassing , not funny , amateur , d grade comedy at best.

An abomination of a comedy show.

If this show is anything to go by, humuor hasn't changed since the 1960's.

If the "writers" and "actors" truly believe this is the best they can do, they surely should be put out to pasture along with this show.

By pasture, i mean a soundproof room with no windows, with the key melted down to something more useful like a ball bearing!

How this ever made the cut, let alone warrants the mass advertising campaign if baffling.

An insult to the intelligence.

So many great comedians such a crap show. So disappointing.

Back in the 80's and 90's this sort of satirical sketch comedy was all the rage.

The group responsible for those by-gone shows were comedy heroes of the day. But this collection of predictable and most unfunny sketches is just not hitting the mark. I was expecting something new and fresh....not the tired (and should be retired) comedy format. I've tried to watch all the episodes but it is not that funny and even those very rare funny pieces....are rarer than fans of Tony Abbott.

It's sad the Australian comedy is capable of producing new and funny concepts (e.g. Chris Lilley) but we push out this tired old comedy!!

It was with great excitement when I saw the adverts for this on Foxtel that I ensured that my IQ was set and ready to record. Being a fan of "Fast Forward", "D-Generation" and "Kath & Kim", then more recent "Summer Heights High", "We can be Heroes" and "Please Like me" - seeing some of my old favourites come back in "open slather" well I was very much looking forward to this.

OK so we are now 5 episodes in, I really, really want to like this, I want to support it. But I am at the point of nearly deleting it from the Series Link. There are some mildly smile on your face but not LOL moments, maybe its still finding its feet. But to be honest 5 weeks in after watching todays episode I am about the point of just giving up.

Thankfully in a way its on Cable and so Foxtel are not going to pull it off the air, maybe my sense of humour has changed over the years and stuff I used to find funny is about as entertaining as my 2013 episode of Cholera.
