Big Bite

This new show delivers consistently funny, smart and fresh comedy. The show just gets funnier and stronger week to week. Any comparisons to Comedy Inc and the like are totally useless - The Big Bite boasts a smaller, much more talented cast and incredibly funny gags of every kind from the obviously gifted comedy writing team. There are look-alike jokes (brilliant Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise not to mention Russell Crowe impersonations !), spoofs of well known Australian TV ads and tonnes of new and hilarious skits. The show works really well in its tightly packed half hour episodes - in the few weeks it's been on, it's already established a handful of genius, warm and new comedy characters - Mr. Gee the rock eistedford teacher is a personal favourite.

Do yourself a favour and check it out now! It's a half hour gem of comedy.

This sketch show sometimes has 1 or 2 good jokes in it...and thats it. The rest is pathetic, unfunny and crap. I tried to give this show a try...about 2-3 times i have watched it and only wasted my life.

Big bite, comedy inc and skit house are the sketch shows of Australia and are all lousy and crap. skit house takes the jokes too far and do not know when to end the sketch even after the punch line is givin. Comedy inc are just try hards that is not funny at all and Big Bite just has 1 or 2 good jokes. The rest is just plain.

These shows are designed for simple minded people who have a low sense of humour. Australians do not know how to make comedies and are just wasting there time making these shows. For good comedy sketches, watch 'The sketch show' and 'The fast show' from the UK. They have one joke after another and the British know how to make comedies. Once a joke is givin the punch line, on with the next sketch.

The Big Bite would have to be the wildest, freshest, most original comedy sketch show to appear on Australian Tv in years!! I love it and hope it runs for ever!!

Already I am looking forward to the DVD release and hearing the commentary tracks by the performers and writers!! Just imagine hearing the origins of MrG from the minds that created him!! I can't wait. These guys are genius.

Where Monty Python went wrong, Big Bite goes so right!! Where Fast Forward is getting old - Big Bite showcases nothing but the very best in El Primo Aussie comic talent. Where do they come up with the ideas to parody the panel every week?

Put it on a bit earlier tho Channel Seven! It's already on past my bed time!!

I am surprised to see any negative comments on this excellent show, that was widely hailed on its initial release in 2003 as revitalising the sketch comedy format on Australian TV.

The performing and the writing (a lot of the performers have gone on to other notable TV shows and films, including CNNNN) was mostly top notch, and it stayed funny right through its run.

My personal favourites were the news, with Lee Lin Chin, and Mr G, which was just brilliant, although there were a lot of other funny characters including Johnny Tapp, that were great.

Very strangely, Channel Seven spun the show off into another show that lasted only a few episodes earlier in 2004.

I guess we won't see the return of this show now, but a lot of its writers are now on 'Comedy Inc.', which not surprisingly is a lot funnier and cleverer than its first series.

I'll never forget this show, and I hope Seven releases it on DVD soon.

This show isn't funny. If you like Comedy inc, you'll love this crap too.

PS. The extreme guy is a rip off of s***scared from the late show.
